The Ohio State Buckeyes looks to put a month of turmoil behind them when they open up their 2018 season on Saturday against Oregon State, inside Ohio Stadium. The Buckeyes not only will be trying to replace quarterback J.T. Barrett, but they’ll also be without head coach Urban Meyer for the first three games of the season. With Meyer serving his suspension, co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Ryan Day will handle the interim head coaching duties.
Even with Meyer missing the first three games, expectations are sky high for the Buckeyes in 2018. Ohio State is loaded with talent on both sides of the football, and many are projecting the Buckeyes to make their third College Football Playoff in five years.
