Ohio State will face Nebraska in a rematch of last year's heartbreaking collapse this time under the stars in the Horseshoe Saturday, October 6th at 8 pm on either ABC, ESPN, or ESPN2. Taylor Martinez will return to lead the Cornhuskers as Braxton Miller answers the call in Urban Meyer and Tom Herman's new offense.

The Buckeyes will travel to play Indiana, Saturday, October 13th also at night. Kevin Wilson's 1-11 Hoosiers will look to continue rebuilding with a herculean task arriving in the form of the Buckeyes. Ohio State defeated Indiana, 30-24, when the schools met in 2011.

Ohio State will also play Penn State under the lights as they head to Happy Valley to take on first year head coach Bill O'Brien and the Nittany Lions, Saturday, October 27th. That game is set to be a 6 p.m. start and will be broadcast on either ABC, ESPN, or ESPN2.
