Ohio-Ohio St. Preview - College Football - Rivals.com

Buckeyes are favored, but mindful:
The second-ranked Buckeyes hope to not need another late rally to defeat the Bobcats when they meet Saturday in Columbus.

After getting shut out in the opening quarter and trailing Ohio 14-12 heading into the fourth, Ohio State scored two touchdowns to come away with a 26-14 victory Sept. 6, 2008.

The Buckeyes have scored first in both wins thus far in 2010 and have held leads of 35 and 19, respectively, after three quarters in those games.

Ohio State (2-0) enters this matchup as a heavy favorite, but offensive lineman Justin Boren knows just how dangerous a game like this can be. He played for then-No. 5 Michigan when it was shocked by FCS team Appalachian State 34-32 on Sept. 1, 2007.
Is it Saturday yet?
