Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Ohio Bobcats: How to watch, channel, streaming
COLUMBUS — Ohio State opened the season with a statement win over Texas last weekend to become the No. 1 team in the country before destroying Grambling State last weekend.
Now the Buckeyes are back in action for the final nonconference game of the season, this one coming against the Ohio Bobcats at 7 p.m. on Peacock.
But while the opponent Saturday is a MAC program, it’s still a game day in Ohio Stadium, which on its own is reason enough to be excited for the third game of the year. And it’s an Ohio program that nearly beat Rutgers in the season opener and did beat West Virginia last weekend.
