LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – Nebraska continues a tough two-game road trip, taking on a second straight opponent away from Lincoln on Saturday. The Huskers travel to Columbus, Ohio, to take on Ohio State, with game time at Ohio Stadium at 11 a.m. CT (Noon ET).

FOX will provide television coverage of the game and Saturday’s game can also be heard on the Huskers Radio Network and the Huskers App. The Huskers are 5-2 this season and 2-2 in Big Ten play after a 56-7 loss at No. 16 Indiana on Saturday afternoon.

Nebraska cut the Indiana lead to 14-7 midway through the second quarter of Saturday’s game, but two touchdowns in the final four minutes of the first half put Indiana in complete control. The Hoosiers never looked back in the second half on their way to victory. Nebraska was very strong in the turnover margin department in the first half of the season, but a -4 turnover differential at Indiana played a big role in the outcome.

Ohio State will enter Saturday’s game with a 5-1 overall record and a 2-1 mark in Big Ten Conference play. The Buckeyes are ranked fourth in both the Associated Press Poll and the coaches poll heading into the second half of their season. Ohio State was eliminated last week after a one-point loss to third-ranked Oregon on Oct. 12. Coach Ryan Day’s team features one of the nation’s most potent offenses as the Buckeyes average 43.5 points and 503.0 total yards per game among the top 10 nationally in both categories.

Ohio State’s defense is also among the best in the nation, allowing 11.0 points and 254.3 yards per game to lead the Big Ten and rank in the top five nationally in both categories.
