Wake up, everyone. It’s Ohio State game day!
It’s another road test on tap for the Buckeyes this week, as they travel to Champaign to take on No. 17 Illinois. The Illini suffered a brutal 63-10 loss to Indiana
three weeks ago, but have bounced back nicely with an impressive 34-32 win over USC and a comfortable victory against Purdue. Now, No. 1 Ohio State comes to town looking to avoid an upset.
Over the past week, our talented group of writers and podcasters have put together preview pieces, analytical breakdowns, and everything in-between.
If you missed out on any of the coverage, we have you… well, covered. Below, each type of story is categorized. If you’re looking for podcasts and previews we’ve done, you can find them; if you’re looking for the betting lines and non-football topics, they are there, too.
Enjoy the day everyone. As always, Go Bucks!
