Top-ranked Buckeyes take on Minnesota

COLUMBUS (AP) — After a week off and a weekend trip to the Pacific Northwest, No. 1 Ohio State is set to return to Ohio Stadium on Saturday

The Buckeyes (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) will host Minnesota (3-1, 1-0) in their second home night game of the season and the first against a Big Ten opponent since Ohio State beat Michigan State 38-3 in November 2023.

That’s been a sore subject for some fans over the past year as Fox Sports snaps up most of the marquee matchups in the Big Ten and puts them in its Big Noon Kickoff time slot, but Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck did not seem thrilled to be an exception.

“I mean, that place is 107,000 fans and it’s deafening, and that’s for a noon kickoff or an 11 a.m. (Central) kickoff, let alone all of them doing what they do, tailgating all day and being ready for the night game that the fans have asked for,” Fleck said at his weekly news conference in the Twin Cities. “We know we’re walking into a really hostile environment. We’re going to do everything we can to recreate it and prepare in it.”

Ohio State passed its first road test last week with a 24-6 win at Washington.

Coach Ryan Day was happy with how his team handled the hostile Huskies crowd, especially redshirt freshman quarterback Julian Sayin, who looked shaky at times early but seemed to settle in as the game went on in Seattle.

Saylin completed 15 of 18 passes in the second half after hitting 7 of 10 in the first and finished with 208 yards and two touchdown passes.
