Ohio State 38, TCU 17

Teams with balance offensively are the ones who perturb TCU’s 4-2-5 defense. Haskins will provide the fulcrum for that Ohio State seesaw, and the OSU defense will mostly keep the speedy Horned Frogs in check.

Ohio State 48, TCU 24

Yes, TCU could give the Buckeyes a game, but a swarming defensive line and a balanced OSU offense will make Jerry’s World their home away from home again.

J.K. Dobbins and many other Texans on Ohio State return home, and do so in a Lone Star State of mind. Meanwhile, Maryland man Dwayne Haskins Jr. airs it out again while the Bullets gig the Frogs.

This will be a College Football Playoff-statement-making road win for the Buckeyes. Haskins and company will light it up through the air, while on defense, Nick Bosa and company will lower the boom.

I don’t know if TCU can pull it off, but they have a new quarterback who’s a good player and Gary Patterson is a heck of coach. I don’t know what he tells them, but he gets them ready.
