Normally, the biggest game of the season comes late in the year, like when Ohio State plays The Team Up North, but for the Buckeyes this season, while The Game will always be huge, their Week 1 matchup could be their biggest this season.
Ohio State has the ability to make a big statement the first week of the season as they take on the No. 1 Texas Longhorns, and they will have a lot of prospective recruits at the game to watch. Ohio State actually just added another big name to that list as 5-star EDGE rusher Anthony Sweeney from the Class of 2027 will be in attendance to see the Buckeyes.
