COLUMBUS – The Buckeyes will open their 2022 football season with five consecutive home games under a revised scheduled announced Wednesday by the Big Ten.
The revisions are a result of changes made to the 2020 schedule because of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in several games being canceled.
Ohio State will kick off the season Sept. 3 against Notre Dame and home games in Weeks 4 and 5 against Wisconsin and Rutgers replace road contests at Michigan State and Penn State, which have been rescheduled for Oct. 8 and Oct. 29.
