Ohio State is hosting Akron in a Week 4 college football matchup that should help the Buckeyes prove their worth as a top 10 contender.
Ohio State is looking to close out non-conference play against an Akron team that the Buckeyes decimated in a 42-0 victory in their last meeting.
Replicating that result might not come so easy this time for Ohio State. The Buckeyes have some controversy at quarterback that needs to be ironed out quickly in this game before they move on to more challenging opponents.
Starter C.J. Stroud has thrown inconsistently and openly admitted that he’s not 100 percent as he battles a nagging shoulder injury. Despite that, head coach Ryan Day is fully committed to Stroud as Ohio State’s starter. With two talented quarterback options behind him, Stroud needs a better performance against Akron than his 15 completions on 25 attempts and 185 yards against Tulsa.
The No. 10 Buckeyes should aim for a statement performance against the 1-2 Akron Zips. Auburn blew out the Zips in a 60-10 win to open the season, and Ohio State shouldn’t settle for much less. If they do, they may find themselves cascading down the ranks.
