#21 Missouri (2-0) at #1 Ohio State (2-0)
3:30 PM on ABC

The Missouri Tigers visit Ohio Stadium on Saturday, possessing one of the top running games in the nation. This outstanding unit is led by the elusive option wizard, QB Corby Jones, who led the Tiger attack in last year's 31-10 loss to Ohio State at home with over 200 yards of total offense. Their other threat is TB Devin West. He is averaging 222 yards a game rushing, including 319 yards on 33 carries in last Saturday's 41-23 win over Kansas in Columbia, Missouri. In order for the Bucks to play well again, cleaning up the mistakes of the last two games is a priority. Ohio State has fumbled seven times (losing one), missed four field goals (including a botched snap against Toledo), and have been penalized 16 times for 146 yards in two games so far this season. Number One teams normally do not have these kinds of problems. The concentration level should be higher for a tough team like Missouri. The line is Ohio State by 26. The victory margin won't be that high. Prediction: OSU 28-20.
