If this week goes as hoped for Ohio State, the Buckeyes will head to East Lansing to play Michigan State on Saturday at noon.
Assuming Ohio State is able to play the game as scheduled, it will be just the second – and final – time the Buckeyes play a road game during the regular season, as their last two road trips to Maryland and Illinois were canceled. While team activities are currently paused due to an increase in positive COVID-19 cases, Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said Saturday that the Buckeyes’ objective is to be able to play their next game, which means they’re already preparing mentally for Michigan State even though they aren’t able to practice right now.
