The line quickly moved to 28 points on most major sports books, including betonline.ag.
The Buckeyes have covered the spread in five straight games. The lone game in which Ohio State has not covered the spread this season was in the season-opening 45-21 win over Florida Atlantic, when the Buckeyes hopped out to a 28-0 lead in the first quarter but were unable to cover the 27.5-point spread on the game.
Friday night's game will kick off at 8:30 from Evanston, Illinois and will be broadcast on FS1.
