Overview

• Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET at Ohio Stadium for Ohio State’s homecoming night game.
• Ryan Day praised P.J. Fleck and said Minnesota has historically been very physical against the run.
• P.J. Fleck lauded Day and cautioned that the 107,000-seat Horseshoe will be deafening for a night game.
• Ohio State’s defense has yielded just six points to Washington and seven to Texas with Arch Manning, including a 24-6 win in Seattle on Sept. 27.
• Minnesota improved to 3-1 after a 31-28 comeback over Rutgers, and Ohio State tackle Phillip Daniels—who transferred from the Gophers in 2024—draws added attention ahead of facing his former team.
