Illinois has a decent punter, but the placekicker is not strong. Nick Immekus was the starting placekicker at the beginning of the season, but was replaced by Taylor Zalewski due to injury. Zalewski hit his first career field goal attempt, a 47-yard field goal, but overall he is 3 of 6. Through multiple coaching changes, Illinois has won 7 of the last 11 games in Ohio Stadium, but the last victory was in 2007 and it was the first win in Columbus since 2001. Illinois has not had a strong running game, however last week against Indiana Donovonn Young had 124 yards and Scheelhaase had 85 rushing yards. OSU will put pressure on Illinois and prevent the running game from getting started. Look for Illinois to get 75 rushing yards and 175 passing yards. Ohio State will run the ball with ease getting at least 250 rushing yards. Braxton Miller and Kenny Guiton will pass for 225 yards. Ohio State will win 45-17 and finally have a comfortable lead in the second half giving Guiton plenty of minutes.
