Sneak Peek: Does Oregon State face a distracted or determined Ohio State?

Despite the coaching turmoil that has been the entire Ohio State storyline in August, the Buckeyes will be a handful for the Beavers. There’s a reason why almost every preseason magazine and media poll has Ohio State among the national top 5: the Buckeyes are loaded on both sides of the ball. On offense, Ohio State has playmakers galore, led by running back J.K. Dobbins and a receiving corps led by Parris Campbell and K.J. Hill. Like Oregon State, the Buckeyes are breaking in a first-time quarterback in Dwayne Haskins, who

completed 40 of 57 passes for 565 yards and a touchdown last season. Defensively, the Buckeyes have some holes, but it may not matter with a defensive line that is as good as it gets in college football, led by Nick Bosa, the Big Ten defensive lineman of the year in 2017.
