COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio State football team is gearing up for its season opener this weekend as they face the Akron Zips. This matchup marks the first time the Buckeyes have competed against the Zips since the 2021 season.
Fans will get their first look at the new roster, featuring a fresh starting quarterback, Will Howard. The transfer quarterback will take over from C.J. McCord, having been named the starter just weeks ago. Howard is set to lead the Buckeyes with a receiving corps that is considered one of the strongest he has ever played with.
The game kicks off at 3:30 PM ET and will be broadcast live on CBS. This is the second consecutive year Ohio State’s season opener will be featured on CBS, following last year’s game against Indiana.
For those who prefer to stream the game, it will be available on CBSSports.com and the CBS Sports App at no additional cost. Subscribers to Paramount+ can also watch the game live on the streaming platform. Additionally, Fubo TV will offer live streaming of the matchup.
As the weekend promises hot weather, it may influence both the game and player performance. Fans are encouraged to tune in and catch the excitement of the Buckeyes’ new season.
