Quoted: Fritz on playing at Ohio Stadium: "We always play at least a couple of these games when I was coaching at Sam Houston each year. Our guys seemed to really enjoy it and like it. I'm sure our guys will enjoy the atmosphere. Heck, I'm looking forward to it. It's a big venue, you always hear a lot about playing in The Horseshoe. You've got to soak it in for a little bit, and then it's over and you play between the white lines."

Next game: Ohio State will play at Penn State at 7:30 p.m. next Saturday. Tulane returns home to face Memphis at 7 p.m. on Friday night.

Prediction: Ohio State 63, Tulane 13
