The game will be Ohio State’s first game against an FCS opponent in 10 years. The Buckeyes last played a non-FBS team in 2013, when they beat Florida A&M 76-0.
Ohio State had stopped scheduling games against FCS opponents since that matchup. Now, however, the door appears to be open for the Buckeyes to play FCS teams once again.
The matchup with Youngstown State should also bring a former Buckeye back to the Shoe, as former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel is now Youngstown State’s university president. Next year’s game will be Ohio State’s third game against Youngstown State, who the Buckeyes previously hosted in 2007 and 2008. The Buckeyes defeated the Penguins 38-6 in 2007 and 43-0 in 2008.
Youngstown State is now set to be Ohio State’s first non-conference opponent on the 2023 schedule, which also includes Western Kentucky and Notre Dame . Ohio State is currently slated to opened the 2023 season on the road at Indiana, but the Big Ten is expected to make adjustments to the 2023 conference schedule after already doing for 2022.
If Tressel isn’t honored in some way Ohio State should be ashamed
That’s a solid for Papa Tress.
why
Wow, way to stoop to low SEC standards
We should schedule it for the Week before TTUN. Go full SEC
Channeling out inner Bama
They’ll play Columbus State in 2024. We love cupcakes & losing to the SEC or Clemson.
If they can run the ball it'll be 42-27 all over again weakdefense
If they're gonna play an FCS school then why not invite someone good like perennial champs NDSU. Such an Alabama scheduling move only that would be the week before TTUN. I suppose the back half of the home and home on the road with ND is considered 'difficult' enough
Why?
I don’t blame them. If the SEC is doing it and their schedule is said to be the toughest (which is a lie) we should too. Be like giving our players another bye week.
Let Tressel coach em!
Schedule them the second week of November
Good, Bama does it consistently!
F*ucking why? Waste!!!!
Meh. But at least happy for the check they’ll get out of it
Saw these two play before. Sunny hot day and a virtual shutout for 3 quarters. No YSU first downs, three and out every possession. Not worth seeing again.
No one should pay a dime for those tickets. Should be free or all money goes to charity for kids battling cancer.
70-0
Terrible idea. What does this accomplish? Great, now we can only make fun of the SEC for their embarrassing academics.
Why?....just why? Now we are the same as Bama just so Tressle can get his beak wet....smh
Finally! Getting smart! The might SEC does it. Why not? Would like to use it as a tune up game before TTUN like SeC teams do but we will take it
Hey it helps the sec sowhy not
Jesus. Why? This should be banned.. I actually thought it was.
Is it the week before The Game?🙏
Pointless. Mistake.
Tressle gonna be there?
Ugh
63-3 final score
There is no difference between fcs teams and low level fbs teams like those from the MAC, which every B1G team plays every year, and SJSt...better to help support an in state team than a meaningless team from the west coast....
The last time the Buckeyes played them Beanie Wells got hurt. Not a fan of scheduling games that don’t help our cause for a title. I stand by my belief that if you play an FCS team, you shouldn’t be eligible for the playoff.
Awesome
Some things are just head shakers...
1. Ohio State should never schedule these games 2. At the same time it will be funny to see everyone who complains about SEC doing it, sweeping it under the rug.
OK to support senator Tressel, good move.
Terrible idea. All OSU students get in free. Concessions half price.
Will be fun to see Meechie Crenshaw play in Columbus one more time.
Why
We should play Tennessee State aswel
There's absolutely no benefit to playing this game.....none. Guess we can stop ripping the SEC teams for doing it now :(
Get our ur wallet Ohio state boosters. Tune ups cost a fortune!
If only they did it a week before the big rivalry week
😕🙁
If we are going to schedule in-state games to start the year can we at least schedule a/another MAC school? There is no benefit to this game. No, I don’t want to hear about how much YSU is making for the game, doesn’t justify it.
Doing it for Tress
hopefully it’s the week before michigan! let’s just do what bama does every year before the auburn game.
That’s not a great trend to end
DonnnyWo we sliding?👀
Ugh, more meaningless games that don't prepare us.
Good. The SEC gets away with doing it. About time we start doing it.
