Ohio State rolled through the season’s first five games before an overtime win at Wisconsin, a road loss to Penn State and a tight win against Northwestern in its last three outings. The Buckeyes sit a game back of Michigan in the Big Ten East.

Nebraska is coming off an overtime loss at Wisconsin and hopes to channel that frustration toward Saturday’s contest.

The Cornhuskers overcame a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter last week but ultimately fell in overtime as they were not able to stop the running game all night. Nebraska allowed 5.9 yards per carry and two rushing touchdowns but still has the 18th-ranked defense in the country, allowing 18.4 points entering this weekend’s action.

The Buckeyes ran for 208 yards last week in the victory against Northwestern, getting a team-high 87 yards and two TDs from Mike Weber. Malik Hooker had 14 tackles to lead the Ohio State defense, which has given up only three rushing TDs this season and ranks sixth in the nation in yards allowed per game (295.5) and points allowed per game (15.1).

This is the first meeting between the teams since 2012, when the Buckeyes notched a wild 63-38 victory.
