Ohio State football aims to rebound in 2026 season

Summary

The Ohio State Buckeyes, coming off a 12-2 season, look to reclaim their status in college football. Despite strong showings, the team lost their last game of the 2025 season to Indiana in the Big Ten championship and then fell to Miami in the Cotton Bowl. Head coach Ryan Day, in his ninth season, leads the team with standout players like wide receiver Jeremiah Smith and edge rusher Kenyatta Jackson for what may be a pivotal year. The Buckeyes do not face Penn State in the regular season, a rare occurrence amidst their rivalry. They begin the 2026 season against Ball State on September 5.
