Hullers face No. 4 Ohio State

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – Nebraska continues a tough two-game road trip, facing a second straight ranked opponent outside of Lincoln on Saturday. The Huskers will travel to Columbus, Ohio, to take on Ohio State, and game time at Ohio Stadium is scheduled for 11 a.m. CT (noon ET).

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

Nebraska cut Indiana’s lead to 14-7 midway through the second quarter of Saturday’s game, however, two touchdowns in the final four minutes of the first half put Indiana in complete control. The Hoosiers didn’t look back in the second half en route to the victory. Nebraska had been 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 the Big Ten Conference. The Buckeyes are ranked No. 4 in both the Associated Press poll and the coaches’ poll heading into the second half of their season. Ohio State was out last week following a one-point loss to third-ranked Oregon on Oct. 12. Coach Ryan Day’s team features one of the most potent offenses in the country, as the Buckeyes average 43.5 points and 503.0 total yards per game to rank in the top 10 nationally in both categories.

Ohio State’s defense is also among the best in the country, 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.
