Ohio State has high expectations this year -- just like every year -- and it opens 2023 against a familiar Big Ten foe.
The Buckeyes will be taking on Indiana in an important year for head coach Ryan Day after a disappointing end to last season in the CFP semifinal Peach Bowl against Georgia.
The quarterback situation in Columbus remains obfuscated, but the Ohio State receiving room is so outrageously talented it might not even matter. Marvin Harrison Jr. is the clear leader of the corps, but behind him stand Emeka Egbuka, Julian Fleming, and Carnell Tate as part of the nation's most prolific source of NFL wide receiver talent.
Indiana is set to have Tennessee transfer Tayven Jackson Jr., a redshirt freshman, under center. Cam Camper is the Hoosiers' best offensive threat, as they look to get Tom Allen his third bowl berth and first bowl win in his seventh year.
