James Franklin is 1-7 against ranked teams on the road.

 

I’ve felt this way for awhile, Michigan will be our toughest test all year. That game will mean EVERYTHING to them. They’re going to be extremely aggressive and try every trick play you can think of.

Ohio State was a 43-point favorite against Maryland on Saturday, which might've seemed like a lot if you haven't seen Maryland play football lately. For the Buckeyes, it took a little more than a half of football to cover that spread. They led 42-0 at intermission, won 73-14, and for the ninth time in nine games celebrated a win by at least 24 points.

How rare is that feat? According to ESPN Stats & Information research, it's only the seventh time in the AP poll era a team won each of its first nine games by 24 or more -- and the first since Ohio State did it in 1973.

Only one team has ever won each of its first 10 by that margin. That was the 1971 Nebraska Cornhuskers, a team that won the national championship.

Think Ohio State has a shot to match Nebraska? The Buckeyes have Rutgers on deck.
