The Huskers aim to survive against the Buckeyes, who will harbor anger from their one-point loss to No. 1 Oregon two weeks ago.
in just one week. Coming off a first-half record of 5-1 going into a big-stage game against No. 13 Indiana, the Huskers had momentum and a chance to secure bowl eligibility for the first time in eight years - the longest drought of any Power Four team.
That’s what $20 million in NIL will get you, which is the reported number Ohio State deployed to build up the most menacing team in the modern era. However, most of that was to keep players in school rather than dipping into the transfer portal, though head coach Ryan Day and his staff did plenty of. More than a dozen starters returned to Columbus to chase that illustrious Big Ten and national title that has eluded this Buckeye senior class.
Four of the five offensive lineman who started in 2023 are back in Columbus, but OSU was dealt a tough blow with the injury of senior Josh Simmons, who was arguably their best blocker. Impact receiver Emeka Egbuka and ball carrier TreVeyon Henderson return on offense at the skill positions. Seth McLaughlin is another Alabama transfer as he plays center for OSU while Will Kacmarek comes from in-state Ohio at tight end. However, the most impactful addition may be No. 1 overall recruit Jeremiah Smith who has dazzled and led the national surge of true freshman wide receivers with 553 yards on 32 catches and seven touchdowns.
