The Ohio State Buckeyes have made a change to their 2025-26 non-conference schedule.
The Buckeyes will no longer host the Uconn Huskies on October 18, 2025, according to an announcement from the school’s athletic department on Monday. This adjustment came after both Ohio State and UConn agreed to cancel their contest with one another.
Instead of the Huskies, Ohio State will host the Grambling State Tigers at Ohio Stadium on September 6, 2025. This upcoming date with the Tigers will be the Buckeyes’ second-ever time playing against a Historically Black College or University (HBCU).
In 2013, Ohio State trounced the Florida A&M Rattlers (another HBCU) 76-0 at Ohio Stadium.
Ohio State’s battle with Grambling State will be its fifth-ever meeting against a Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) school. The most-recent occurrence was just last season, when the Scarlet and Gray dominated the Youngstown State Penguins, 35-7.
