After a bit of an unexpected challenge from UMass Lowell, Ohio State bounced back nicely and routed Morehead State to improve to 3-0 on the young season. Following that, the game against Alabama A&M was canceled because of concerns with positive testing within the Bulldogs’ program. That means OSU has not played a game in almost a week.

Now, the Buckeyes step up significantly with a challenge on the road against Notre Dame as a part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Will there be rust? Who knows. The Irish have also had games canceled because of COVID-19 and have only been able to play two of the four scheduled so far.

This is a significant litmus test to see where this different look OSU squad is compared to a major school on the road.
