Coming off a bye week, Ohio State soccer has yet another tuneup earlier than getting nicely and actually into Big Ten play.
Ryan Day, Will Howard and the Buckeyes will probably be taking over the Marshall Thundering Herd in a Big Noon showdown, as Ohio State seems to be to maneuver to 3-0 on the season following its early off week.
The Buckeyes have been as marketed by way of their first two video games, outscoring Akron and Western Michigan by a mixed rating of 108-6. The No. 3 group within the nation will look to proceed that dominant success forward of a date with Michigan State in East Lansing subsequent week.
Marshall equally dominated Stony Brook in Week 1 earlier than dropping to Virginia Tech in Week 2 and can be coming off a bye. Stone Earle struggled mightily in opposition to the Hokies, going 13 for 36 with 131 yards, a landing and an interception. Ohio State's vaunted secondary, led by Caleb Downs, will look to create comparable confusion. That will begin with stymying the operating sport, which Ohio State has carried out on the second-best clip within the nation, trailing solely Ole Miss.

Ohio State vs Marshall predictions, picks, odds
Odds courtesy of BetMGM as of Saturday, Sept. 21.
Ohio State 52, Marshall 7: Bill Rabinowitz of The Columbus Dispatch says, “The Thundering Herd have shown some explosiveness in the run game, but a quarterback with a completion percentage of 44% does not bode well against the Buckeyes' suffocating defense. Consider this a third straight tuneup before Big Ten play starts next week.”
Ohio State 48, Marshall 0: Joey Kaufman of The Columbus Dispatch says, “The storyline to watch is whether the Buckeyes can shut out a second straight opponent, a feat they last accomplished in 2009 when they held Toledo and Illinois scoreless in consecutive weeks. It’s a real possibility considering the state of Marshall’s offense, which ranks toward the bottom of the Football Bowl Subdivision by most advanced metrics. They are 94th in expected points added (EPA) per play.”
Ohio State 56, Marshall 7: Rob Oller of The Columbus Dispatch says, “Now that Ohio State has the hang of getting out to a fast start − Western Michigan heads are still spinning − I expect the Buckeyes to go 0-60 mph in a finger snap every week, or at least until Oregon on Oct. 12.”
