Welcome to Trivia Time, the community quiz that will unequivocally prove how smart the community is...or not. We believe that Eleven Warriors is home to the most knowledgeable Buckeye fans on the planet. It is now time for you to prove it.

Below, you will find 10 questions. The answer with the most votes for each question will be the "community answer". The answers and community grade will be revealed at the bottom of next week's Trivia Time.

The Buckeyes head to Nebraska for the team's second road game of the season. This will be the first time the 2019 squad will play under the lights. 

Today's questions are based on Ohio State's past performances against the Cornhuskers and some general knowledge about this week's foe.

In between this week's questions, you will find the results of last week's Trivia Time based on the Ohio State and Indiana series.

Two simple rules: Please use your brain (not a search engine) and only play once.

Difficulty: 1st and goal from the 1

Last Week's Grade: C (70)

C
There is a pattern developing with the recent scores. We have a feeling the Nebraska results will be better.

Man, you guys are better than this. However, the last three questions were tough. It appears the RedHawks were an easier test on the field than off of it. Keep hitting the books and you will do better this week.

Hopeful that the 11W Community and the Buckeyes ace both of the tests that the Cornhuskers will bring to the table this week.
