Akron Zips vs. Ohio State Buckeyes NCAA Football Betting Info, Odds and Picks

Starting with the 2021 campaign, Ryan Day had never lost a regular-season game as Ohio State head coach.  As a result of a dominant loss to visiting Oregon, Ryan is on the clock.  The honeymoon is over.  And soon, the career of defensive coordinator Kerry Coombs may be over too.  Coombs was schooled and fooled by Oregon offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead.  But that is ultimately a reflection on Ryan Day.  In like manner to Alabama, last January, Oregon curb-stomped the Buckeyes. It was no accident.  Fans and College football betting itself won’t be soon to forget.

Gamblers Driven Nuts by Bucks

Ohio State ranks 11th for overall offense and 36th for scoring offense.  While defensively, the Buckeyes rank 118th overall and 94th for points allowed.

Freshman running back TreVeyon Henderson’s big day put him amid elite company.  Henderson, in his third game, broke Archie Griffin’s 49-year-old freshman rushing record.  Specifically, he ran for 277 yards and three touchdowns.  Henderson ran for scores of 5, 48, and 52 yards.  Most important of all, he managed to mask some of the same weaknesses Ohio State showed against Oregon.

Specifically, Ohio State was supposed to be getting a break in the schedule.  Tulsa was the first of two lesser opponents that would supposedly allow the ironing out of OSU’s problems.  However, the Buckeyes were not sharp.  But Tulsa couldn’t match them throughout an entire game.  A late pick-six that Cameron Martinez returned for a 61-yard touchdown made the score look worse than it was.

The Ohio State defense held Tulsa to 73 yards on the ground.  But it allowed quarterback Davis Brin to throw for a career-high 428 yards and Tulsa’s first two touchdown passes this season.
