Quoted: Martin on the talent of the Buckeye roster: "They have great players backed up by great players. There's going to be a physical mismatch. None of the kids that are recruited to play at Ohio State were looking at Miami of Ohio and vice versa. I said it's kind of like going to recess and they've got the first 85 picks. You'd do pretty well at recess."

Next game: The Buckeyes travel to Nebraska to take on the Cornhuskers next Saturday night. The RedHawks return home to play host to Buffalo on Saturday.

Prediction: Ohio State 56, Miami 7
