All that Marshall coach Charles Huff wants is a chance, and he believes his team will provide it when they line up to play in 'the Shoe' at Noon on Saturday.

It’s Ohio State game day! After getting last weekend off, the Buckeyes return to the field on Saturday to close out their non-conference scheduled with a matchup against the Marshall Thundering Heard of the Sun Belt.

What to expect as the Ohio State Buckeyes and Marshall Thundering Herd meet in this Week 4 college football game with our updated prediction.

After a week off, the Ohio State Buckeyes continue their less than imposing non-conference schedule with a date at home against the Thundering Herd of Marshall.

Ohio State football is a heavy favorite against the Marshall Thundering Herd as the Buckeyes are favored in most sportsbooks by 40-points. That number has stayed at that point throughout the week, but the point total has made a slight adjustment.

The 2025 meeting between the teams will be the 22nd all-time meeting between the programs and the first since the start of the 2020 season when they met in the opener, a game Marshall won 59-0.

Ohio State and Marshall have met twice on the gridiron. The Thundering Herd came into the Horseshoe 20 years ago and gave the Buckeyes quite a scare, but the leg of Mike Nugent saved the day. Marshall also visited Columbus in 2010 and Ohio State won 45-7, but that game was part of the vacated season after the ‘tattoogate’ scandal.
