The Huskers face #4 Ohio State

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – Nebraska continues its difficult two-game road trip by facing a second straight opponent on the road against Lincoln on Saturday. The Huskers travel to Columbus, Ohio to take on Ohio State. Game time at Ohio Stadium is scheduled for 11 a.m. CT (noon ET).

FOX will televise the contest and Saturday's game can also be heard on the Huskers Radio Network and the Huskers App. The Huskers are 5-2 on the season and 2-2 in Big Ten play after a 56-7 loss at No. 16 Indiana on Saturday afternoon.

Midway through the second quarter of Saturday's game, Nebraska cut Indiana's lead to 14-7, but two touchdowns in the final four minutes of the first half put Indiana in full control. The Hoosiers didn't look back in the second half en route to the win. Nebraska was very strong in terms of turnover margin in the first half of the season, but a -4 turnover differential at Indiana played a big role in the outcome.

Ohio State will enter Saturday's game with a 5-1 overall record and a 2-1 record in Big Ten Conference play. The Buckeyes are ranked No. 4 in both the Associated Press poll and the coaches' poll heading into the second half of the season. Ohio State was eliminated last week after a 1-point loss to third-ranked Oregon on Oct. 12. Coach Ryan Day's team boasts one of the most potent offenses in the country, with the Buckeyes averaging 43.5 points and 503.0 total yards per game, ranking them in the top 10 nationally in both categories.

Ohio State's defense is also one of the best in the country, leading the Big Ten with 11.0 points and 254.3 yards per game and ranking in the top five nationally in both categories.
