Bold Predictions for Buckeyes primetime home matchup against Western Michigan

COLUMBUS — Ohio State wasn't nearly as crisp as it could have been in the season-opening win over Akron. Nobody expected the Buckeyes to be perfect. But down 3-0 with a sputtering offense on the first drive? That was uncharacteristic, even for a team we hadn't seen play yet. Ohio State fully expects to clean up the early-game woes when it takes the field in Week 2, often when a team makes the biggest leap of the season. And the Buckeyes are looking to show they're the best team in the country -- and do it in primetime. With that in mind, Lettermen Row is previewing the Buckeyes' primetime early-season matchup against the Broncos with bold predictions — one from each staff member. Let’s dive in.
