Ohio State will kick off its 2021 schedule with what should be a more normal slate than what we saw last season at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. You remember that well. Everything then got turned on its side and abbreviated.
Gone are the conference-only schedules in the Big Ten, and back is a more traditional one that the conference updated in February. All told, there are twelve games in the regular season, a potential Big Ten Championship Game, and perhaps more.
Here is a look at the complete Ohio State football schedule for 2021.
