Scarlet Sunrise: Buckeyes set to host Western Michigan under the lights

COLUMBUS — Ohio State has far too much room for improvement to be happy about what happened against Akron last weekend.

Yes, the Buckeyes put up 52 points and didn’t give up a touchdown in the opener, but they still have so much to clean up. And the plan is for them to take a big step forward Saturday night in primetime against Western Michigan.

Ohio State is set to host Western Michigan in primetime on Saturday night. Lettermen Row has every detail to get you set with a game-day edition of the Scarlet Sunrise.

Western Michigan at Ohio State: Game time, details

Ohio State has only played Western Michigan once before. The Buckeyes beat the Broncos 38-12 in 2015, a year when they were flooded with national title aspirations and fell short.

The Buckeyes are faced with more national title aspirations this season, that’s the standard in Columbus. With a mix of veterans and young faces, Ohio State (1-0) will look for its second of the season.
