No. 3 Ohio State has one of the nation's stingiest pass defenses, but it hasn't faced a quarterback-wide receiver tandem as dynamic as the one it'll see when No. 9 Michigan State comes to town this Saturday.
The Spartans' offense has revolved around quarterback Connor Cook, and he's used his connection with wideout Aaron Burbridge to slice up defenses all season. The pair has hooked up for 65 receptions and 1,021 yards—marks that lead the conference—to complement six touchdowns.
Disrupting that explosive connection will be a stiff task for the Buckeyes.
“My confidence is at an all-time high,” Burbridge said, according to Joe Rexrode of the Detroit Free Press.
