Ohio State has all of the pressure in the world on their shoulders in this one. The fans are ready to turn quickly if things start slowly and the Vols faithful can get loud. This could become uncomfortable quickly if the Buckeyes can’t get going early.
That said, Ohio State still is the most elite roster in college football when it is clicking. They can play a bit more carefree in this one and if they force Tennessee to match them, that bodes well. The Buckeyes get it going on offense and put the Vols into tough spots. Ohio State 24, Tennesee 17
