Ohio State Football has played six of its first seven games of the season at Ohio Stadium. Now, the Buckeyes are preparing to face a Big Ten rival on the road.
"This is part of that competitive excellence and competitive stamina - bringing it every single week. Going on the road and winning a game like this is gonna be huge," says Ohio State Head Coach Ryan Day."We knew when we saw the schedule, going into State College is gonna be a huge challenge. It always is," says Day.
"He's good at reading what you're doing, delivering the ball. He's tough, hangs in there. He can scramble," says Ohio State Defensive Coordinator Jim Knowles. Along with their own high-powered offense, Ohio State will look to protect a perfect 7-0 behind its second-ranked defense - a unit that forced six turnovers last week against Iowa."They identified the areas where we felt like we had advantages and were opportunistic early on, got our hands on balls, created turnovers. When you can create that many turnovers, certainly, your chances of winning go way up," says Day.Carly Mascitti is a sports anchor at News 5 Cleveland.
