On Wednesday, the Ohio State football program released its themes for its 2023 home games. Over the past couple of seasons, in a way to better market to fans, Gene Smith and company have advised a plan to label each home game with a theme in order to attract more eyeballs and attention to each home game before the season. I’m not sure if this positively affects ticket sales or not, but it certainly can’t hurt. The following are the themes broken down by opponent and date.
Date: Saturday, September 8
Time: 12:00 pm
Opponent: Youngstown State
Theme: Alumni Band/Faculty & Staff Appreciation
For the third time in school history, Ohio State will play host to in-state FCS foe Youngstown State.
