So much for the “Shock the World” campaign. After five games, the Buckeyes are 3-2 with their two losses coming to the closest to ranked teams they played. And they could very easily be 2-3 with a loss to Toledo.
The defense has performed admirably but they simply cannot outscore their opponents. Last week they lost to Michigan State 10-7.
Ohio State was supposed to get good news this week with the return of their four suspended players, most of who are on offense but running back Dan Herron and wide receiver DeVier Posey has been further suspended.
With three more ranked opponents on the schedule excluding Nebraska, the Buckeyes are starting to become desperate for wins.
In order to be bowl eligible a team must be at least 6-6. They are on pace to do that at the moment but Penn State’s defense could present serious problems. Should they lose to all of their ranked opponents as well as Penn State, Ohio State would be 5-7 at the end of the year which would leave them home for the bowl season.
It is unlikely that the Buckeyes can upset the Huskers this week on the road but they could sure use a boost of good news and promise for the bowl season.
