The Ohio State Buckeyes get another cupcake opponent at Ohio Stadium in Week 3 as the the Scarlet and Gray host the MAC’s Northern Illinois Huskies.

The Buckeyes are 35-point favorites heading into Saturday, and after a dominant defensive performance against Hawaii, the Buckeyes should keep the status quo atop both the coaches’ and Associated Press polls.

The underdogs seem to always manage a way to score. That’s why the Hawaii performance really was remarkable.

The schedule says this game is a lock, but because Bucks’ fans deserve to have a little fun, here’s five reasons why Ohio State will absolutely clobber the Huskies.
