Ohio State has blown by every team on its schedule so far in 2019.
Some think the Buckeyes aren’t just the best in the Big Ten. But, the best in the country.

In Week 6, however, the Buckeyes will be tested. Ohio State will be at home against Michigan State, who comes in ranked No. 25. The Spartans are always a tough team to beat. Michigan State is 3-1 this season and the offense has struggled.
But as always, the defense is stout. What else makes the green and white a difficult opponent year in and year out?
The coaching. Ohio State coach Ryan Day talked about that Tuesday during his weekly press conference:
Day: on MSU: "Obviously, the history of what they've done against Ohio State is something our guys will be aware of."

Ryan Day is now at the lectern. "Got another big challenge ahead of us. One of the best-coached teams in the Big Ten and the country."

Sure, maybe the Buckeyes are favored by double-digits. But that doesn’t mean that Day won’t have his group ready to play.
Because we all know one thing: Dantonio will have his Spartans ready.
