For the first time since 2019, fans outside of parents and close family will be admitted into Ohio Stadium for an Ohio State football game. Although it’s just a scrimmage and tickets will be limited to just over 19,000 it will be good to see real, living, breathing people in the stands on Saturday.
There will be some key position areas to watch as the Buckeyes culminate their 2021 spring practice with the annual game. The biggest battle to watch will be to see who will replace Justin Fields under center for OSU. Whoever wins the job will certainly have big shoes to fill.
There will also be other positions to keep an eye on as the Bucks will be replacing all three starting linebackers. The secondary was the source of much frustration for fans in 2020, so it will be interesting to see what adjustments have been made. It will also be fun to see how the two freshman running backs, TreVeyon Henderson and Evan Pryor perform against live competition.
There are so many storylines to check out, so be sure to get your yard work done early or set your DVRs.
How to watch:
Date: Saturday, April 17

While there will still be many questions to answer going into summer, the spring game should provide a fun atmosphere to see where guys stand and who has a leg up on the competition going into the fall.
