Final Thoughts, Questions and Predictions Before Ohio State‘s Home Opener Against 12th-Ranked Oregon

Football and fans return to Ohio Stadium today.

In just a few short hours, Ohio State will play its first home game of the 2021 season – and its first game at Ohio Stadium with members of the general public in attendance since 2019 – when it hosts Oregon in a non-conference clash of top-12-ranked teams who are both looking to defend their championships in their respective conferences this season.

Opinions vary on just how competitive today's game will be, but it's unquestionably one of the most anticipated games of the year for the Buckeyes as they play one of the strongest opponents on their regular-season schedule at the Shoe, with kickoff set for noon and Fox televising.
