The Buckeyes and Cornhuskers are prime contenders for the Big 10 Crown

The big test for Ohio State will be refilling a defensive line that’s missing all four starters from 2012.  However, the Buckeyes are dealing with the number three recruiting class in the nation, with twenty-four commits including Mike Mitchell, highly touted linebacker out Plano, Texas.

I’ll be interested to see how Urban Meyer attempts to balance the total offense this season, because although Ohio State averaged 242.3 rushing yard per game (10th in the NCAA), they only averaged 181.5 passing yards per game (105th).  Ohio State looks to have too much talent, aided by the ability to reach a bowl game this season, look for Braxton Miller to take the Ohio State into Pasadena at season’s end.
