The No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes (5-0) return home Saturday to face Indiana (4-1).
The Bucks come in off of a dramatic 27-26 comeback win at Penn State. Indiana beat Rutgers, 24-17 a week ago.
This is the fourth of the Buckeyes’ seven home games in 2018.
That means that when it’s over, the home schedule will be more than halfway done. That doesn’t seem possible or fair, but here we are.
Here’s everything you need to know to enjoy Ohio State vs. Indiana.
Kickoff Time
The game kicks off Saturday, October 6 at 4:00 pm Eastern.
TV & Streaming
You can watch the game on FOX, or stream it via the FoxSportsGo app. Aaron Goldsmith, Brady Quinn, and Bruce Feldman are on the call.
Radio
The game will be carried live on the Ohio State Football Radio Network. Find your local Ohio State Football radio station here.
Weather
The calendar might say October, but the forecast still looks like early September. The projected high for Saturday in Columbus is 85, with a 40 percent chance of thunderstorms.
If there is a weather delay, there is a 100 percent chance of tears in the press box.
Point Spread
Ohio State is a 26-point favorite.
The Over/Under for the game is 65, which is a little lower than most of the Buckeyes’ games earlier this year.
If the spread and Over/Under hit pretty close to exactly, the Buckeyes would win roughly 45-20.
Tickets
This won’t be the absolute cheapest game of the year to attend, but if you want to see the Buckeyes in person, this could end up being the lowest-priced ticket on the remaining schedule.
The “get in the door” price is currently $75 on the official Ticket Exchange, but those prices should continue to fall as kickoff gets closer.
You can get seats on the 50 for a little under $200.
Tickets should be reasonable and plentiful if you’re still in the market for some. However, you might not want to go the old-fashioned route and scalp a seat outside the Horseshoe.
OSU has said that they have seen a big increase in fakes, especially with “print at home” tickets.
They suggest you only buy tickets through Ohio State Athletics Ticket Office, Ticketmaster, and Buckeyes Ticket Exchange.
If you’re willing to risk buying from a scalper or a fan with extra tickets outside the stadium, look for someone with traditional-style tickets, not print-at-homes.
Gates at Ohio Stadium open at 2:00 pm, two hours prior to kickoff.
Ohio Stadium Bag Policy
You may not bring bags or purses of any size into Ohio Stadium. According to OSU’s website, “Wallets and wristlets no larger than 5”x8”x1” are permitted. All items and persons entering Ohio Stadium are subject to security screening and inspection.” You can find the complete bag policy here.
Skull Session
The band’s traditional pregame warmup concert starts at 2:00 pm in St. John Arena. Doors at St. John open two hours prior to the start of Skull Session, at 12:00 pm.
