COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- No. 1 Ohio State finishes out its non-conference slate with a meeting against in-state foe Ohio, marking the first meeting between the two schools in 15 years.
The Buckeyes have never lost to the Bobcats in its previous six meetings. In addition, OSU hasn't lost to an Ohio school since 1921, when it fell to Oberlin 7-6.
Ohio is facing a Power Four program for the third straight week after opening the season with a loss to Rutgers before beating West Virginia in front of a record crowd at home last week.
Buckeyes wide receiver Jeremiah Smith is approaching a milestone, needing just 23 yards to become the fastest Ohio State wideout to reach 1,500 receiving yards. Michael Jenkins holds the record for reaching 1,500 yards in 20 games from 2000 to 2001.
