Ohio State, fresh off their hard-fought victory against Texas, now faces Grambling State in a highly anticipated matchup. The Buckeyes, currently ranked #1, are looking to build momentum and showcase their offensive firepower.
First-Ever Meeting: Buckeyes vs. Tigers
This Saturday marks the first-ever meeting between Ohio State and Grambling State. While the Buckeyes are heavily favored, Grambling is coming off an impressive season-opening win. Quarterback Czavian Teasett will be looking to replicate his performance, but faces a tough challenge against the Ohio State defense.
Score Predictions: A Buckeye Blowout?
Experts predict a dominant performance from Ohio State. Some are even forecasting a shutout, with scores like 63-0 being thrown around. The question is, how many possessions will the Buckeyes have and how many will end in touchdowns? The expectation is that Ohio State will be aggressive for the first three quarters before easing off in the fourth.
Game Day Weather: Perfect Football Conditions
The weather forecast for Saturday's game is looking ideal. While there's a chance of rain in the morning, it's expected to clear up by kickoff. Temperatures are predicted to be around 70 degrees and sunny at the start of the game, dropping to 64 degrees later on. Wind is not expected to be a factor, meaning both the passing and kicking games should be unaffected.
Rare FCS Matchup for Ohio State
It's not often that Ohio State schedules FCS opponents. Their last encounter was a 35-7 victory against Youngstown State in 2023. Prior to that, they played Youngstown State in consecutive seasons from 2007-08, and in 2013 downed Florida A&M 76-0. Ohio State hasn't lost to a current FCS school since 1940. This game presents a valuable opportunity for the Buckeyes to fine-tune their offense and give younger players some playing time.
