Buckeyes Ground Game vs Ball State | Ohio State Buckeyes Football News

Ohio State Buckeyes open their season against undermanned Ball State, aiming to dominate with a revamped run game led by Bo Jackson and a potent passing attack featuring Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith. With Ball State’s weak defense—ranked near the bottom of the MAC and missing key players—the Buckeyes are poised for a blowout win, likely resting starters late. Quarterback Keldric Luster makes his first college start against a tough OSU defense coached by Matt Patricia, while the Buckeyes’ defensive unit, though thin in starters, boasts talent like Jermaine Mathews Jr. and Kenyatta Jackson Jr. Expect fireworks—and maybe some bench time—for Ohio State as they set the tone for a strong 2025 campaign.
