Spring football is behind us, and it’s time to take a look at the schedule ahead for the gridiron Buckeyes; and honestly, it’s about as good as the program could possibly hope for as it looks to book a return trip to the College Football Playoff. In its totality, the schedule doesn’t have nearly as many potential pitfalls as previous years, but when considering that the Buckeyes will be breaking in a new starting quarterback this fall, the September section of the slate does pose some problems.
While three of OSU’s games in the opening month are against teams (Oregon State, Rutgers, Tulane) with a combined 10-26 record in 2017, the Buckeyes will head deep into the heart of Texas to face TCU at Jerry’s World in Arlington on Sept.
