Ohio State kicked off the 1998 season on the road against the Mountaineers, coming away with an important victory.
As the Buckeyes look toward Monday's road opener against Virginia Tech, it's an ideal time to reflect on one of Ohio State's most memorable road openers in program history.
Ohio State entered the 1998 season as the top-ranked team in the country, and they kicked off the year on the road in Morgantown, West Virginia, against the 10th-ranked Mountaineers. The media descended upon Morgantown early, and excitement for the game had reached a fever pitch days before kickoff.
