Score predictions

Andy Anders – Ohio State 38, Nebraska 10: There will be some growing pains for Zen Michalski at left tackle following Josh Simmons’ injury, but Ohio State is finding an offensive groove and winning handily.

Chase Brown – Ohio State 48, Nebraska 13: Ohio State bounces back from its loss to Oregon with a dominant performance against Nebraska, giving the Cornhuskers their second straight blowout in which their opponent outsmarts them from start to finish.

George Eisner – Ohio State 42, Nebraska 14: Dylan Raiola fails to bounce back from his worst game of the season last week as the Buckeye defense forces the former OSU into multiple turnovers that create short fields and easy scores for Chip Kelly’s squad.

Johnny Ginter – Ohio State 42, Nebraska 13: Ohio State comes out angry on offense and probably tries to do too much on defense, leaving everyone irritated in the first half and bored in the second.

Matt Gutridge – Ohio State 45, Nebraska 20: The last time Ohio State lost a regular season game before a bye week was against Purdue in 2018. Who did the Buckeyes play and beat after the bye week? Nebraska. Ohio State has won the 13 previous times Eleven Warriors have hosted a tailgate party. The average score therein
games? 43-18, let’s increase it to a more common score of 45-20.

Garrick Hodge – Ohio State 45, Nebraska 10: Ohio State makes a much-needed recovery and faces an outmatched Nebraska team and underwhelming freshman QB Dylan Raiola.

Dan Hope – Ohio State 45, Nebraska 10: I don’t think Nebraska will let this game get as out of hand as the 56-7 loss to Indiana last week, but I still expect a dominant performance from the Buckeyes, who should be hungry to make a statement after two weeks to lay. about their loss to Oregon.

Ramzy Nasrallah – Ohio State 49, Nebraska 17: The Huskers stopped in Bloomington last weekend and should come out swinging. Unfortunately, the Buckeyes have reflected on the fact that they were one second away from the No. 1 ranking in the country, and they’re going to do the same.

Josh Poloha – Ohio State 42, Nebraska 10: As the Buckeyes’ defense often finds itself in the backfield against former OSU quarterback player Dylan Raiola, Ohio State takes care of business and gets back in the win column ahead of a big game in Happy Valley next week.
