Yeah, we know it’s only early March, but we’re always anticipating the next football season at Ohio State. There’s a football factory sitting on the banks of the Olentangy, and there’s always something to discuss and dissect all year long at a place like OSU. Hopefully, this fall will more closely resemble a regular season, at least in terms of the games played than the abbreviated conference only one we saw in 2020 thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We just recently got a revised release of the 2021 schedule from the folks in the Big Ten, which basically moved some of the conference games around a bit for Ohio State, but that’s about it. Now that we know what the opponents and dates are, we thought … hey, why not break it down and provide some very early predictions before we get into spring.
I’m sure we’ll do this exercise a couple of more times before the season kicks off on September 2, but for now, here’s our extremely early, knee-jerk reaction and prediction for each game on the 2021 schedule.
