Ohio State and Nebraska will kick off the Big Ten's first Saturday of the season. The Buckeyes and the Huskers are set to kick off at noon E.T.
Both the Buckeyes and the Huskers were driving forces behind the Big Ten's decision to play football this fall. The league had initially decided to postpone the season until 2021. Ohio State and Nebraska pushed back on that - hard - and the league ultimately agreed with the two schools.
Now, Ohio State and Nebraska will play the first major game of the conference season.
“The guys are are excited about the challenge,” Frost said of the matchup. “We can complain a lot about a lot of things, our guys are just excited they're going to be playing. But they know the test in front of them. So, I'm anxious to see their response when inevitably Ohio State makes a play or to on us, hits us in the mouth, scores on us. Whatever happens, I want to see a bunch of guys that don't like that but aren't afraid of the next play and go out and continue to try to make great plays. That's all we can do and I feel good about that, but we also have to respond the right way during the games.”
The last few Ohio State vs. Nebraska games have not been close. ESPN doesn't think this one will be, either.

ESPN's Football Power Index gives Ohio State a 95.4 percent chance to win the game, giving Nebraska a 4.6 percent chance of pulling off the upset.
