Ohio State vs Ball State Prediction: Let's See What This Buckeye O Can Do
Will Ohio State crank up the attack against a Ball State team hoping to keep this from getting ugly fast? Here's the CFN preview and prediction.
The upcoming Ohio State vs Ball State game is generating significant buzz, with many expecting the Buckeyes to dominate. Last year, the Ohio State offense was nearly flawless, while their defense struggled. This time, however, the offense boasts a star-studded lineup, including some of the country's most talented receivers. Quarterback Keldric Luster, a Texas Tech transfer, will be leading the charge behind an experienced Ohio State line.
On the defensive side, Ball State's front seven is loaded with size and solid transfers. They will be looking to put on a show after a disappointing 24-14 loss to Miami in last year's College Football Playoff opener. Ohio State, on the other hand, has won an impressive 25 straight season openers and 37 of the last 38. If the Buckeyes' offense gets going early, Ball State's defense may struggle to contain them.
The game is set to kick off at 12:30 pm ET on Saturday, September 5, 2026, at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. The consensus line for the game is Ohio State -50.5, with an over/under of 56.5 points.
