No. 6 Ohio State shifts focus to Kent State after loss at Texas

Ohio State is on to Saturday’s game against Kent State, even though most fans of the sixth-ranked Buckeyes are still fuming about last Saturday’s 24-23 loss to No. 1 Texas. The Buckeyes are 52 1/2 point favorites over the Golden Flashes and have won the past three meetings by a combined score of 165-20. The past two games have been OSU shutouts, including 66-0 in the last meeting in 2014. The defense will be looking to bounce back after allowing Texas to score on three fourth-quarter drives.
Quarterback Julian Sayin will try to rebound after completing just 5 of 16 passes with an interception in the second half.
