There's no secret of the importance of this weekend from a recruiting standpoint for Ohio State.
With the No. 3 Buckeyes slated to take on the No. 12 Ducks, Saturday’s home opener has long been the No. 1 game of choice prospective recruits wanted to see.
“I think recruits have been talking about coming to this game since they saw it on the schedule,” Ryan Day said Tuesday.
OSU announced this morning that there are still around 10,000 single-game tickets available for Saturday’s matchup, but the Buckeyes expect 90,000-plus fans to be in attendance, the first time the Buckeyes have had the potential for a capacity crowd in nearly two years.
