Regular coaching carousel followers likely know the following saying: A coach never wants to be the guy who follows The Guy.
In Ohio State’s case, coach Ryan Day has racked up at least 11 wins every regular season he’s been in charge in Columbus. But a number of Ohio State fans are itching to run Day out of town because of one stat: 0–3. (And considering the team responsible for that record won a national championship last year, we can understand why they’re pulling their hair out.)
This year, the Buckeyes are pushing in their chips to try and win it all: former UCLA head coach Chip Kelly was brought in as offensive coordinator, numerous NFL-caliber players like Emeka Egbuka returned to Columbus, and Ohio State further upgraded their roster with transfer portal additions like quarterback Will Howard.
But with the pressure around Day at an all-time high, can Ohio State deliver on a season with championship-or-bust expectations? Here’s what you need to know if you want to watch Ohio State football this season.
Ohio State football schedule 2024
Ohio State’s upset loss to Michigan cast a major pall over the Buckeyes’ season, but they’re still capable of rebounding in the postseason. They’ll open the first round of the playoff as the No. 8 seed hosting a talented, but inconsistent Tennessee Volunteers squad in Columbus.
