Ohio State plays host to Arkansas State on Saturday afternoon in Ohio Stadium. Our staff at Buckeyes Wire predict the outcome of the game.

The Buckeyes will be the far superior team when Arkansas State comes to Columbus this week. [@markrussell1975](https://twitter.com/markrussell1975)) Athlete for athlete there’s just no comparison between the two schools. Stroud will go for over 350 yards and the defense will build upon what it did last week. Will the Buckeyes roll or will Arkansas State provide a stiffer than expected test? Look for the Ohio State offense to come alive after a Tough Mudder-type affair against Notre Dame.

No. 3 Ohio State will try to not to look past heavy underdog Arkansas State.

Just a few hours before Ohio State plays Arkansas State, we share our final thoughts, biggest questions and players to watch for the Buckeyes' second game ...

If the Buckeye pass attack returns to form in Week 2, Egbuka will be an integral part of that, and perhaps even the focal point of its aerial assault given what he showed a week ago. After an early benching against Notre Dame, it will be interesting to see how Proctor bounces back against Arkansas State and frankly, how many snaps he splits with Lathan Ransom. As a competitor, Smith-Njigba will likely want to play if possible – but playing against Arkansas State simply isn’t worth the risk of aggravating an existing injury. Ohio State had the top offense in the nation a season ago, and has every tool necessary to hold that title again this year. I think he does and puts on display the big-play ability that made him a By the time this game reaches halftime, the only thing Ohio State fans attending Saturday's game in Ohio Stadium should be worried about is making dinner reservations. The common theme between all of those players is that they shed their black stripes before Ohio State faced Notre Dame. Specifically, Ohio State needs to put this game out of reach early so that its backups can get some valuable game reps, as those opportunities could potentially be limited once conference play begins in a couple of weeks. Hicks and Styles have impressed the coaching staff thus far, but so have Caden Curry, Kye Stokes, Jyaire Brown, Dallan Hayden, Kenyatta Jackson, Kaleb Brown and Kyion Grayes. Ohio State’s offense will look to gain steam after scoring only 21 points last week, while the defense will look to build off its second-half shutout against the Fighting Irish. Stroud, TreVeyon Henderson, Miyan Williams and the receivers have the task of reminding the college football world that Ohio State's offense is one of the most talented units in the country. While every Buckeye fan should have celebrated an 11-point win over Notre Dame, celebration will be minimal if Ohio State wins by only 11 points this week.

Despite the Buckeyes separating from the Red Wolves in the second half, Arkansas State coach Butch Jones expressed pride in how his team competed against ...

One inter-team storyline of interest entering this game was the potential return of former Ohio State halfback Brian Snead to Columbus — now a second string running back for Arkansas State. Jones further credited Ohio State for making his team play at a faster pace in the red zone than what they would have preferred, which led to issues executing in goal line situations. Jones also condemned his team's third down performance and results in other crucial situations while proclaiming, "I think it came down to critical downs. "You never waste a failure. Ohio State is a very good and very talented football team," said Jones in his opening comments on the game. You have to make an offense drive the ball." Jones made sure to pay compliments to both his punter and kicker, the latter of whom made all four of his field goal attempts as the only Arkansas State player to record any points on the afternoon. That’s kind of a mindset that we’re building in our football program," remarked Jones in wake of his first defeat this season. Arkansas State's head coach was particularly critical of how the Red Wolves came out for the final 30 minutes of the game in expressing, "I didn’t like the way we started the second half. They have great football players, they have got really good schemes and they force you to execute.” "We gave up way too many explosive plays on the perimeter of our defense. "Kick location was going to be critical [for punter Ryan Hanson]," Jones declared.

The Ohio State football team was able to take down Arkansas State 45-12. While they didn't cover, the Buckeyes still played well.

He was the running back that was the hot hand and he showed it. It was good to see him bounce back in a strong way. A performance like this puts him right back in the thick of the Heisman Trophy conversation after a bit of a lackluster performance.
