College Football Week 1: Ohio State vs Marshall - 7:35pm EST on Big Ten

The Ohio State Buckeyes are ranked 2nd in most major polls behind defending BCS champion

Alabama as they open college football week 1 picks tonight at home vs Marshall. Kick-off on the Big Ten Network is set for 7:35pm EST and Ohio State has opened at online sportsbooks as a 28-point favorite with an over/under total of 47 in college football betting odds. The famed Horseshoe will be packed 105,000+ strong with scarlet and gray clad fanatics expecting a BCS title run after an 11-2 season in 2009 that was capped off with a Rose Bowl win over Oregon. The first key to this season for Ohio State is to not overlook a Marshall team that, while undermanned, will be playing its first game under new coach Doc Holliday.

"I don't know if there's a perfect time to play them," said Holliday about heading into tonight's game as underdogs in college football odds as a head coach for the Herd. Ohio State plays Miami-FL in 9 days and could easily be looking past Marshall. "It's human nature when you think, OK, I've got this situation under control, I'm going to think about the next situation," said Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel. "This group, we're a little older. There's 25 seniors. But it comes down to each and every day you have to try and stay focused on that task and no matter what's going on, good or bad, that's the great challenge."

Another big question heading into college football week 1 betting odds for Thursday's opener vs the Thundering Herd is just how much or little Tressel will reveal as far as offensive and defensive wrinkles against Marshall with Miami on deck. Junior quarterback Terrelle Pryor is being discussed as a Heisman Trophy candidate for OSU as his passing and leadership have improved to merge with his running. The Buckeyes and fans expect a more complete QB for the complete season in 2010.
