Nothing much happened in the second half, as OSU used its defense to maintain its stranglehold on the Spartans. For the game, the Buckeyes outgained MSU by 529 yards to only 285. OSU took a solid, well-coached team -- the type of team you're likely to see in one of the better bowl games -- and crushed them. OSU is now 3-0 in the Big 10, and 6-0 overall, and no one has been able to challenge them.
They get next week off, and the rest of their schedule looks like this:
10/18: at Northwestern (1-4)
10/26: WISCONSIN (5-0)
11/9: MARYLAND (3-2)
11/16: at Rutgers (1-4)
11/23: PENN ST. (5-0)
11/30: at Michigan (4-1)
After that would come the Big 10 title game, which would probably be a rematch with Wisconsin. And then the Playoff. It is a favorable schedule -- they get Wisconsin and Penn State at home, and Michigan is not as good as either of those teams. If I were forced to guess, I would guess that the Buckeyes will run the table. We'll know more about how good they are if they ever have to compete in the second half. But so far, no one has been able to make them do that.
