The quest to determine if the Ohio State Buckeyes are the best team money can buy begins Saturday in Columbus when the Akron Zips visit Ohio Stadium. This is more of a dress rehearsal for Ohio State but make no mistake, with rumors circulating that Ryan Day’s roster cost upwards of $20 million, expectations are sky high for the Buckeyes.
Akron Head Coach Joe Moorehead was asked for his thoughts about Ohio State and if he had anything to say to those who believe the Buckeyes are primed to contend if not win a national championship. His response was succinct but accurate.
“They are thinking right.”
Moorehead knows the Zips are a sacrificial lamb. Saturday will not be a test for the Buckeyes. It will be a showcase. It will be a test drive to see how the parts fit. It will be an opportunity for former UCLA Head Coach and new OC Chip Kelly to debut his vision for the Buckeyes’ offense with Will Howard under center. It will be an opportunity for the OSU defense which returns 7 starters from one of the top units in the nation in 2023 to showcase their abilities.
