Ohio State Will Play Michigan State, “Very Confident That We Are Heading to East Lansing With A Team That Can Safely Compete”

Ohio State's road trip to East Lansing is officially on.

In a news release on Friday afternoon, Ohio State said it felt comfortable making the decision for the Buckeyes to travel to East Lansing and play Michigan State tomorrow – after canceling their road game at Illinois last week – after “increased and enhanced COVID-19 testing this week.” Per the release, “the team continues to be tested daily, in adherence with Big Ten Conference protocols, and has enhanced its polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing surveillance throughout the week.”

“We are very confident that we are heading to East Lansing with a team that can safely compete and whose health, safety and well-being has been our utmost concern,” team physician Jim Borchers said.
