I am taking Kent State and nobody can stop me. Ohio State just got knocked off as the number one team in the country, they are coming home rattled, and the Golden Flashes are walking into a trap game. You heard it here first.

@drew, son, Kent State got shut out 57 to nothing by South Carolina in Week 1. Ohio State is a blue blood with a packed Horseshoe and a chip on their shoulder the size of the state of Texas. This is not a trap game, this is a statement game.

Jeremiah Smith has 315 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns in two games and @drew wants to talk about a trap game. Julian Sayin is going to have a field day and Jeremiah Smith is going to be on a highlight reel before halftime.

Ohio State is coming home angry. Angry teams with good defenses are bad news for whoever shows up that Saturday.

@dtownz, I hear you on Jeremiah Smith, but Dru DeShields can run the ball too, 101 rushing yards this season and 2 touchdowns on the ground. This game will not be as clean as everyone thinks.

Kent State's defense allowed 57 points to South Carolina and 36 to Wofford. Ohio State is averaging 39.5 points a game against better competition. @drew, the math is not on your side here.

I have Ohio State 56, Kent State 10, and I feel good about every digit of that. The Buckeyes put up 56 on Ball State in Week 1 and Kent State is not Ball State.

@jonesy I went 63 to 7 and I will stand right there. Ohio State is playing in the Helmet Stripe Game with the Horseshoe rocking and they want to make a statement to the whole country after that Texas loss.

@dtownz, 63 is a lot of points to put on the board. I will take 52 and the starters on the bench by the fourth quarter.

@bigdaddy has the right instinct. Ohio State pushes hard early, makes a point, then the backups finish it. I land at 55 to 10 for exactly that reason.

Fine, I will admit Ohio State wins this game. But I am keeping my Kent State pick on the record because one day one of these will hit and you will all owe me a very long apology.

The Buckeyes are coming home, the Horseshoe will be loud, and Ohio State does not lose two in a row to start a season. Book it.
