The Buckeyes are looking to play cleaner football and finish the non-conference portion of their regular season strong when they host Toledo at Ohio Stadium on Saturday night.
over the past 100 years. But the Rockets look capable of giving Ohio State at least a somewhat tougher test than the Red Wolves could. And with just one more game to go until conference play begins, Ryan Day doesn’t want his team taking any opponent for granted.
“We have to be more disciplined. Disciplined teams go far,” Ohio State left guard Donovan Jackson said this week. “We have to become more refined, more disciplined. Even in practice, being held more accountable to what we do. That goes across the board for every position. We have to like tighten up the small things, because the small things hurt in the long run.
“This is a very good team,” Day said. “They certainly gave Notre Dame all they could handle last year. And so we got to do a great job making sure that we're preparing just like any other week, and it's the same message. The message is that it's about us, and we have to make sure that we're building every week and getting stronger every week. But this is a good team in Toledo.
On the other side of the ball, Ohio State is hoping for the return of cornerback Jordan Hancock, who has missed the first two games of the season with what Day described this week as a “significant injury” suffered in preseason camp. If he is healthy enough to play, Hancock could potentially be the No.
Hines, the Rockets’ top edge rusher, earned first-team All-MAC honors in 2021 after finishing second in the conference with 10 sacks. Johnson, who earned second-team All-MAC honors last season, currently ranks in the top 10 nationally with 4.5 tackles for loss. Both of them have racked up 13 tackles for loss this year.
