COLUMBUS — Ohio State’s trip to Austin was awesome for 3 quarters, and was decidedly not awesome in the last.
The Buckeyes carried a 23-3 lead into the fourth quarter before surrendering three touchdowns and losing to Texas, 24-23. Now ranked 6th in the country, Ohio State returns to the friendly confines of the Horseshoe with an opportunity to regroup against Kent State.
The Buckeyes and Golden Flashes will kick off Saturday at noon on FOX. It will be the fourth meeting between the two Ohio programs, with Ohio State winning the previous three by a combined score of 165-20. The Buckeyes won their most recent matchup, 66-0, in 2014.
On Thursday, Ohio State released its official game trailer, titled “The Long Way.” The video embraces the difficult road ahead as the Buckeyes attempt to respond to last week’s collapse and begin rebuilding their season.
As you’ll see, the road back begins Saturday in Columbus:
