Ohio State HC Sends Urgent Message to Buckeyes Fans
The Ohio State Buckeyes may be the defending national champions, but they already have a new season beginning in less than three weeks.
Ohio State will face the Texas Longhorns in a dazzling 2025 opener on Aug. 30, a rematch of last season’s Cotton Bowl where the Buckeyes defeated Texas in a thriller.
Things are a bit different this time around, though. Ohio State’s roster has undergone sweeping changes thanks to the NFL Draft, losing almost all of their starters on defense while also watching some key offensive players — such as quarterback Will Howard — depart.
Not only that, but the Longhorns will be fielding Arch Manning under center, which certainly makes their offense that much more formidable, even if Texas has subtracted some critical pieces, as well.
Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day has made his thoughts abundantly clear on the Longhorns matchup, noting that it will not exactly be an easy affair for Ohio State.
The good news is that the game will take place at Ohio Stadium, and Day is expecting the home fans to bring the noise.
“(Texas) can’t get away with the clap. We’ve got to bring it and put them on a silent cadence.” Day said, via Chase Brown of Eleven Warriors. “It’s got to be the loudest it’s ever been. What an unbelievable atmosphere it’s going to be.”
