Game-Time Decision:

• LB Teradja Mitchell
• WR Austin Mack

Unavailable:

• DE Chase Young
• DE Jonathon Cooper
• WR C.J. Saunders
• WR Ellijah Gardiner
• WR Kamryn Babb
• TE Cormontae Hamilton
• S Ronnie Hickman
• DT Taron Vincent
• DT Noah Donald

Ohio State certainly won’t be at 100 percent Saturday with its two starting defensive ends being out. The Buckeyes haven’t faced too much adversity so far in 2019, as their closest games were 24-point wins over Florida Atlantic and Michigan State.
