What: No. 5 Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Navy Midshipmen When: Saturday, August 30 at 12:00PM ET Where: M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland TV Schedule: CBS Live Stream: CBS Stream Where They Stand: No. 5 Ohio State Buckeyes (-16.5)(0-0, 0-0 Big Ten) Navy Midshipman (0-0) The No. 5 Ohio State Buckeyes take on the Navy Midshipman only a week after losing starting quarterback and Heisman hopeful Braxton Miller to a season ending shoulder injury. Coach Urban Meyer downplayed the injury and said that the team will overcome the loss considering they are still a very good football team. "Oh, yeah. If you have good players, a good team (then you're excited)," he said, pausing before joking, "I'll fake it sometimes, if you don't have a good team. "But I can tell you this: I think we got a good team.” Redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett gets the nod for the Buckeyes this season and he will have a solid group of weapons at his disposal to help his succeed. Ezekiel Elliott, Bri'onte Dunn and Warren Ball will all look to replace Carlos Hyde at running back. Navy ended last season on a four game winning streak to finish 9-4 and gain bowl eligibility. The Midshipman took advantage of the opportunity by beating Middle Tennessee 24-6 in the Armed Forces Bowl. Quarterback Keenan Reynolds will look to repeat on a stellar sophomore season where he set the NCAA record for rushing touchdowns with 31. Barry Sanders (37) with Oklahoma State and Wisconsin's Montee Ball (33) are the only two players to have more rushing touchdowns in a season than Reynolds. This is Ohio State’s 125th season of college football and they have won all four meetings with Navy. The most recent being the opening of the 2009 season with a 31-27 victory.
