The Slate: Ohio State commits schedule Oct. 12-14
COLUMBUS — For some Ohio State commits, they’re already at the halfway point of their 2023 seasons. That’s a little hard to grapple with when the Buckeyes are already a fourth of the way through the schedule.
Ohio State survived a sluggish homestand against Maryland behind elite defensive play and a second-half resurgence from the offense. The Buckeyes now head to Purdue for what could be a messy game as well.
Plenty of future Buckeyes have big tests this weekend as well and Lettermen Row gets right into the weekend slate for all 22 of the 2024 commits and commits beyond.
