COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State will face Minnesota for its only home game of October this Saturday. Coming off a bye week and then a trip to Washington, the Buckeyes will head to Illinois and then Wisconsin in back-to-back weeks. Saturday will be Ohio State’s first, and potentially only, time it plays on NBC this regular season. The Oct. 11 game against Illinois is scheduled on FOX, as is the season finale at Michigan. Ohio State is currently a 23.5-point favorite over Minnesota, and at 4-0, the top-ranked Buckeyes are looking to near the midway point of the regular season unbeaten.
