Nebraska vs Ohio State Prediction

In the clash between Nebraska and Ohio State, Ohio State will likely come out on top. 

Ohio State has established itself as a powerhouse in the Big Ten over time. It has a high-powered offense. It's led by a dynamic quarterback, Will Howard. A great running back duo, TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins, backs him. Elite freshman wide receiver Jeremiah Smith adds to it. Plus, a solid defense can pressure opponents into mistakes. 

Nebraska has improved. But, it still struggles to match Ohio State's depth and talent on the field. The Buckeyes excel on both sides of the ball. This gives them an edge, especially at home in Ohio Stadium, where opponents struggle to win.

Nebraska would likely win by exploiting Ohio State's mistakes and using their ground game to control the clock. But, Ohio State's defense has been strong against the pass and run. This could make it hard for Nebraska to gain any momentum. The Cornhuskers need a consistent passing game to keep Ohio State's defense on its toes. It will be an uphill battle if Nebraska can play a near-flawless game and disrupt Ohio Stateโ€™s rhythm.

Ohio State's depth, coaching, and home-field advantage suggest they will win. Nebraska has been competitive and has a bright future with Dylan Raiola. But, the Buckeyes' skill and experience give them the edge in this Big Ten showdown. Expect Ohio State to control the tempo and pull away in the second half for a decisive victory.
