There's nothing but Big Ten games ahead for No. 3 Ohio State. The Buckeyes’ three-game slate of tuneup games ended with a 49-14 rout of Marshall on Saturday. The Thundering Herd found ways to exploit the Ohio State defense early but couldn’t keep up with the Buckeyes' cadre of offensive stars. Ohio State outscored Akron, Western Michigan and Marshall 107-20. It should get a better idea of where it stands in a prime-time game against Michigan State next Saturday and more challenging matchups down the road.
