COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Ohio State is back, kicking off the season with a noon game against No. 1 Texas.
No. 3 Ohio State is well-positioned for a competitive game, with a largely healthy line up. Fresh of a national championship victory, the Buckeyes are adjusting to several new team leaders, all of whom will be ready to play at the noon kickoff.
The Buckeyes starting lineup will enjoy a rare bout of good health. The game against Texas will be quarterback Julian Sayin's first career start, and Ohio State is also starting over on the defensive line and in the running back room. Several key players from 2024's championship season will return in scarlet and grey, including wide receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate.
Last year, the Buckeyes were down two key players in the opener against Akron. This week, Ohio State has nine players out on injury. Three of those injured are defensive lineman, including sophomore Jason Moore, who could have rotated in to Saturday's game.
