Ohio State's 2021 season begins Thursday night at Minnesota, where C.J. Stroud will throw his first passes as a Buckeye and the OSU defense will face its first test of the year.
Minnesota's past two seasons saw very different results, but Ryan Day believes the Gophers will resemble their 2019 form on Thursday and beyond in 2021.
Justin Hilliard (New York Giants) and Michael Jordan (Carolina Panthers) were both claimed by new NFL teams off waivers while seven other Buckeyes join practice squads.
Ryan Day is counting on an inexperienced group of linebackers, among other defenders, to slow down Minnesota tailback Mohamed Ibrahim on Thursday night.
Randy Johnson, who covers Minnesota for the Star Tribune, explains why the Gophers took a step back last year, why they should be much better this year and more.
We preview Thursday night's season opener at Minnesota and discuss what it was like to be on the sidelines for the infamous IMG Academy/Bishop Sycamore game on Sunday.
