The Huskies piled up 571 total yards of offense, including 380 on the ground and the Zips were held to 252 total yards. The Huskies have covered their past two games, including a 35-33 loss to Toledo as a 13.5-point underdog. Ohio comes off a 42-17 victory over Kent State and the Bobcats did not stay UNDER for the first time in six games.
