One thing the COVID-19 pandemic canceled is back on.
Ohio State and in-state foe Bowling Green were scheduled to play in 2020, but both conferences went from canceling the season to eventually playing abbreviated, conference-only schedules. So, the game scheduled for Sept. 5 between the Falcons and Buckeyes was scrapped for the greater good.
But fret not, lovers of some Maction, according to a release from Bowling Green Wednesday, it appears both schools have agreed to reschedule the contest for Sept. 18, 2027, in Ohio Stadium.
This makes the second nonconference matchup that has found its way back on the calendar after last year’s unprecedented season. OSU and Oregon have already agreed to a new home-and-home series for 2032 and 2033 despite the Ducks still planning to fly into the ‘Shoe this fall as well. We’re still waiting to see if the other nonconference contest against Buffalo will be rescheduled.
