Game Preview: In one of the most intriguing non-conference college football matchups of the season, 3 Ohio State heads south to take on 14 Oklahoma. Vegas sees the game as a virtual pick ’em with the Buckeyes entering the contest as a one point favorite.
Oklahoma is led by quarterback Baker Mayfield who will be tested by a young but talented Ohio State defensive line. J.T. Barrett will be under center for the Buckeyes. Barrett is one of a few veterans on a team that was decimated by the NFL Draft.
The question heading into the contest is how a young Ohio State team will respond in a hostile environment in their first true test of the season. The Buckeyes have dominated their first two opponents but have not faced a team to the caliber of Oklahoma.
