Ohio State will defend its honor when it hosts Youngstown State on Saturday.
When Ohio State welcomes Youngstown State into the Shoe on Saturday, the Buckeyes will defend their honor as they search for their second victory of the season.
There have been two all-time meetings between the Buckeyes and Penguins, one in 2007 and the other in 2008. The former was a 38-6 win for Ohio State behind a 225-yard, two-touchdown performance from quarterback Todd Boeckman, and the latter was a 43-0 shutout for the Buckeyes, as running back Chris"Beanie" Wells rushed for 111 yards and a score.
Youngstown State went 7-4 last season with a 5-3 mark in the Missouri Valley Conference. In the school's lone FBS matchup – a Week 3 contest with Kentucky – the Wildcats shut out the Penguins 31-0 at Commonwealth Stadium in Lexington. In 2023, Youngstown State started its season with a 52-10 win over Valparaiso behind a 111-yard, two-touchdown performance from running back Tyshon King.
Ohio State faces Youngstown State at noon on Saturday. The matchup will be televised on Big Ten Network, with Cory Provus, Jake Butt and Brooke Fletcher on the call. Ohio State's radio network, 97.1 The Fan, will feature its usual crew of Paul Keels, Jim Lachey and Matt Andrews.
