Ohio State Opens Season with Thursday Night Big Ten Road Test at Minnesota

For the second time in five years, Ohio State will begin its season with a Thursday night road game against a conference opponent.

In 2017, the Buckeyes kicked off their season with a 49-21 win over Indiana in Bloomington under the Thursday night lights. They’ll look to achieve a similar outcome when they open their 2021 season this Thursday night against Minnesota in their first game in Minneapolis since 2014.

Starting the season against a conference opponent, though, means Ohio State will need to come out of the gates strong to ensure it begins the year with a win.
