Record vs. Youngstown State all-time: 1-0 (2007, 38-6 win in Columbus)
Record vs. Lower/Closed teams all-time: 168-56-19 (last losses to Lower Division teams were in the 940's)
In 2007, Ohio State played their first game against a non-Division 1-A team since 1953, when they traveled to Penn and defeated them 12-6.
This game vs. Youngstown State was presumably added to the schedule after the NCAA allowed Division 1-A teams to play a 12-game schedule starting in 2007. Ohio State currently does not have a game scheduled with a lower division school in 2009 and 2010, but it does have one open date available each year. I would prefer that the Buckeyes not play lower division teams, but we'll see. Most of the Division 1-A teams do have one game against a lower division school on their schedule in 2008.
Fearless Prediction: Ohio State 45, Youngstown State 6
Beanie Wells will rush for over 100 yards. Tyrelle Pryor will play for a quarter and shine, but also make a couple of freshman mistakes.
