The weather for the upcoming Ohio State football spring game looks less favorable than last season’s event.
The Buckeyes will play at Ohio Stadium at noon in a public scrimmage on April 18. Coach Ryan Day said the offense will face the defense, similar to the format of last year.
In 2025, the Buckeyes’ offense, wearing scarlet, took on the gray-clad defense. Using a special scoring format, the offense won 50-31, and it was sunny with a high temperature of 54 degrees, per Accuweather.
