Ohio State rolls into Week 3 after a 70–0 blowout of Grambling, but Ohio University isn't just a "cupcake." The Bobcats nearly upset Rutgers in Week 1 and just knocked off West Virginia with a stingy defense. In today's Daily Buckeye Blitz, I break down my 5 keys to a Buckeye victory this weekend in the Shoe.

5 Keys vs Ohio:

1. Contain QB Parker Navarro — dual-threat gamer, but turnover-prone

2. Win early downs vs Bangura/Allison to force 3rd-and-long

3. Protect Julian Sayin against an active Ohio DL (Vonnie Watkins, Rodney Mathews)

4. Attack a vulnerable secondary that's allowed chunk plays all season

5. Keep building depth — Kienholz, St. Clair, freshmen on defense, and fix punt return execution

🔥 The Bobcats will compete, but this is another chance for Ohio State to sharpen execution and show depth before Big Ten play.
