COLUMBUS — Ohio State started its season off a little sluggish, but the Buckeyes found a way to open the gate.

No. 2 Ohio State opened the year with a 52-6 win over Mid-American Conference member Akron. The Buckeyes turn their eyes toward another MAC opponent in Week Two with Western Michigan heading to town.

Western Michigan at Ohio State: Game time, details

Ohio State has only played Western Michigan once before. The Buckeyes beat the Broncos 38-12 in 2015, a year when they were flooded with national title aspirations and fell short.

The Buckeyes are faced with more national title aspirations this season, that’s the standard in Columbus. With a mix of veterans and young faces, Ohio State (1-0) will look for its second of the season.

  • Time: 7:30 p.m. EST.
  • Kickoff: 7:35 p.m. EST.

  • The line: Ohio State is a 38.5 favorite per VegasInsider.
  • Over/under: 54.5 points.

The Buckeyes have a flawless record against schools from the Mid-American Conference, going 37-1.

How to watch Ohio State

The Buckeyes will play on the Big Ten Network with Jeff Levering (play-by-play) and Jake Butt (analyst) on the call. Brooke Fletcher is the crew’s sideline reporter.

How to listen to Ohio State

Paul Keels, Jim Lachey and Clay Hall will have the call on the Ohio State Sports Radio Network 97.1 FM (WBNS).

Series Fun Fact

With this being the second game between the two programs, it doesn’t seem entirely accurate to call it a ‘series’ but we have found a fun fact about Western Michigan head coach Lance Taylor.

The Broncos’ second-year head coach has coached several of the NFL’s best and brightest over the years. Christian McCaffrey, D.J. Moore, Curtis Samuel and Kyren Williams are a select few of the guys coached by Taylor.
