No. 3 Ohio State Faces First Big Ten Test Against Michigan State

The Buckeyes, led by new quarterback Will Howard, aim to maintain their perfect record in a prime-time matchup in East Lansing.

Ohio State has dominated its nonconference schedule, outscoring opponents 157-20 and entering the game with a 3-0 record.
The Buckeyes' explosive offense, ranked third in scoring and fifth in total offense, will be tested by a more competitive Michigan State defense.
Michigan State, coming off a loss to Boston College, is struggling with red-zone efficiency and turnovers, particularly from quarterback Aidan Chiles.
Ohio State's defense, although strong in the second half of games, has shown vulnerabilities, particularly in third-down situations.
The game, kicking off at 7:30 p.m. on Peacock, marks Ohio State's first road game and Big Ten matchup of the season.
