The Ohio State Buckeyes host the Oregon Ducks on Saturday as OSU begins its home 2021 schedule at noon on FOX.
Ohio State began the season against Minnesota on Sept. 2 in Minneapolis and walked away with a 45-31 victory over the Gophers. But the Buckeyes had to rally in the second half.
In the win, Ohio State showed off its depth as multiple running backs — including Miyan Williams and TreVeyon Henderson — had long touchdown plays in the game.

The roster depth was challenged on the offensive line when projected starting center Harry Miller was ruled out of the game, prompting Ohio State to play Luke Wypler at center.
Defensively, Cameron Brown missed the game as he recovered from an injury, but Denzel Burke, aside from a costly pass interference penalty, came up with several big plays.
