The Ohio State football program is just one month away from kicking off their 2026 college football season. The Buckeyes are looking to bounce back after closing out last year with a whimper, losing two straight games and exiting early in the college football playoff. This year, the Buckeyes will be bringing back considerable talent from last season, including Heisman Trophy finalist quarterback Julian Sayin. This is year two for Julian Sayin and that's exciting,” said Day, per Pat McAfee on X, formerly Twitter. In any case, the Buckeyes are set to kick off their new season on September 5 at home vs Ball State.
