Even though the Big Ten is finally on track to play this fall, and Ohio State now knows what its schedule for the 2020 season will be, the Buckeyes also know it’s still going to be far from a normal season, and there could still be more curveballs that come their way.
The Big Ten isn’t starting its new season until Oct. 24, which means that season will consist of a sprint of nine games with no bye weeks. They still have to wait another 10 days, until the daily antigen testing mandated by the Big Ten starts, to begin practicing in full pads – all the while teams in six other FBS conferences are already playing games.
