OHIO STATE GAMEDAY: It’s a bad day to be a Western Kentucky Hilltopper

Wake up, everyone. It’s Ohio State game day!

The Buckeyes have one final contest to prepare themselves for a marquee matchup against Notre Dame next weekend, but this week’s opponent will provide a unique challenge. Western Kentucky brings to Columbus one of the nation’s best passing attacks, led by quarterback Austin Reed and wide receiver Malachi Corley. Ohio State’s defense has looked good to start the season, but the Hilltoppers will look different than anything Jim Knowles’ unit has seen thus far. On the other side, Ryan Day will be looking to get newly established QB1 Kyle McCord ready to go for a road trip to South Bend in Week 4.

Over the past week, our talented group of writers and podcasters have put together preview pieces, analytical breakdowns, and everything in-between.

If you missed out on any of the coverage, we have you... well, covered. Below, each type of story is categorized. If you’re looking for podcasts and previews we’ve done, you can find them; if you’re looking for the betting lines and non-football topics, they are there, too.

Enjoy the day everyone. As always, Go Bucks!
