Ohio State’s road schedule was an easier one to navigate last year. Going to Michigan to play is always an unknown, but that’s really the only road game that looked to be a problem when you looked down the schedule last year. That’s not the case in 2020.
The Buckeyes jump headfirst into the hornet’s nest with a road game at Oregon the second game of the year on September 12. The Ducks will be a much different team than the one that came within an eyelash from making the College Football Playoff in 2019, but Autzen Stadium is always a loud, boisterous, and tough place to play.
Aside from that, the Buckeyes have to go to Penn State. Maybe we get surprised, but that’s usually going to be a white-out at night against what looks to be a team with the best personnel to beat Ohio State.
