football-fbs flag

Ohio State kicks off its 2020 college football season at home against Nebraska on Saturday, Oct. 24. The Buckeyes come into the game as the highest ranked Big Ten team, in spite of not playing the first seven weeks of the season. OSU won its 2019 matchup 48-7 over the Huskers behind three touchdowns from quarterback Justin Fields. The junior finished third a year ago in Heisman Trophy voting and will look to kick off his 2020 campaign with a strong start against Nebraska.

OSU comes into the 2020 college football season with some unfinished business. After an unbeaten regular season, the Buckeyes were stunned in the closing minutes of their College Football Playoff Semifinal loss to Clemson. OSU started at No. 2 in the 2020 preseason AP poll before falling out ahead of the Big Ten's decision to bring football back this fall. With eight games in eight weeks, Ohio State will look to climb back towards the top of the rankings while making a run at the program's fourth CFP bid.

Here is the complete 2020 Ohio State football schedule, including opponents, results and players to watch.

Top returning players

The Buckeyes were a top-5 team in total defense and total offense last season before losing three players to the first round of the 2020 NFL draft. Defensive end Chase Young was taken second overall by the Washington Football Team while defensive backs Jeff Okudah and Damon Arnette were selected third and 19th overall by the Detroit Lions and Las Vegas Raiders. Overall, Ohio State had 10 players (seven defenders) drafted in April, likely opening the door for some new faces to be key contributors in 2020.

Quarterback Justin Fields starred in his first season in Columbus after transferring from Georgia. He was a Heisman Trophy finalist as a sophomore, throwing for over 3,200 yards and 41 touchdowns to only three interceptions. Fields also showed his versatility as a dual-threat option, picking up another 484 yards and 10 touchdowns with his legs. Should Fields replicate his success from a year ago, he will likely be in the running for some major hardware.

The ground game might look different with J.K. Dobbins gone. Replacing a three-year starter is difficult enough. It gets even harder after the junior rushed for more than 2,000 yards while scoring 23 total touchdowns a season ago. The lead back role could come down to redshirt sophomore Master Teague III (789 yards, four touchdowns in 2019) or Oklahoma transfer Trey Sermon (13 touchdowns in 2018).

While the run game could see some personnel changes this year, Fields will have one of his top targets back in Chris Olave. His 49 receptions ranked second on the Buckeyes, though Olave led the team in yards (849) and touchdowns (12). With K.J. Hill and Binjimen Victor off to the NFL, there's going to be extra targets up for grabs. Don't be too surprised if Olave breaks the 1,000-yard mark with a significantly higher usage rate this season.

Preseason ranking

We had Ohio State at No. 2 in our preseason Top 25. Here’s that breakdown:

2. Ohio State

The Buckeyes won't have J.K. Dobbins anymore, but OSU will continue to have a potent ground game (Master Teague) and a dynamic QB in Justin Fields (51 total touchdowns in 2019). The defense will lose star Chase Young and others, but CB Shaun Wade is among those returning.

Los Angeles Dodgers • Atlanta Braves • National League Championship Series

History isn’t totally against the Dodgers Friday night … just mostly The 3-1 series deficit L.A. faces against Atlanta has been overcome, but not very often Worl Series MVP Josh Beckett hands an autographed baseball from his car to a fan Sunday, Oct. 26, 2003, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. after the team arrived home from New York one day after winning the World Series. (AP Photo/Rick Silva) The Dodgers face an elimination game tonight, but their fans should realize history is not totally against them. (Of course, it would help if they still had Josh Beckett on their pitching staff. Stay with me, and it’ll become clear.) In the history of baseball, there have been 13 comebacks from 3-1 deficits in best-of-seven series, similar to the one the Dodgers face against the Atlanta Braves in the National League Championship Series. Keep in mind, of course, that none of those series had the elements peculiar to this postseason, including neutral sites and series without off days to tax pitching staf...
