Ohio State opens their 2023 season on Saturday when they travel to Bloomington to take on the Indiana Hoosiers. This marks the 16th time the Buckeyes have played a Big Ten contest in their first game of the year, winning each of the previous conference season openers. Ohio State also played a Big Ten game on the road in 2017, which was also against Indiana, and in 2021 at Minnesota. Prior to the 2017 matchup with the Hoosiers, the last time the Buckeyes kicked off their season with a Big Ten game was all the way back in 1975 at Michigan State.
