Ohio State passed a stiff road test Friday at No. 15 Pittsburgh, winning its first road dual of the season and defeating the first of several ranked opponents on the schedule. FloWrestling declared Ohio State's non-conference schedule the toughest in the Big Ten, and the weekend's slate of two Top-15 opponents is a good example why as the Buckeyes come back to Covelli to host No. 11 Virginia Tech Sunday at noon.
Head coach Tom Ryan said his belief is that his teams will learn to "execute in chaos" by facing the toughest opponents he can get on the schedule every year.
