The Ohio State Buckeyes will now play the Grambling State Tigers in week 2 on September 6, 2025. This will be the first matchup ever between the two schools. From a competitive standpoint, this change serves no significance as Ohio State would be massive favorites versus Uconn or Grambling State.
The Buckeyes will now start the season with three straight home games. This will also open a slot later in the season on October 18, 2025, for a Big 10 conference game.
This matchup will give Grambling State a unique opportunity to experience a big-time college football stadium and crowd, while also getting some national TV exposure.
