Appalachian State Mountaineers vs. Ohio State Buckeyes Prediction

I’m on App State and the points here. I get the case to be made for the Buckeyes, who have been really impressive out of the gate this season offensively. However, I do think that App State will be the best defense that the Buckeyes have gone against so far this year, and App State plays at a slow enough pace that I think points will be a bit harder to come by. This is a boatload to give up to an App State team that can hang. Give me the Mountaineers.
