Big Ten revises Ohio State football’s 2022 schedule
Similar to the revisions that took place prior to last season because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Big Ten has revised football schedules for Ohio State and all of its conference brethren for the upcoming 2022 season.
The revisions are a result of the changes that had to be made during the 2020 pandemic pause and restart. Ohio State will still play the same opponents at the same venues, but the dates of some of the games have moved around. Only the Big Ten games at Northwestern (Nov. 5), Maryland (Nov. 19), and vs. Michigan (Nov. 26) remain unchanged. The nonconference games also remain unchanged.
Here is a complete look at the 2022 schedule as released and updated on Wednesday morning. Hopefully, this will all remain as is, and the pandemic starts to be a nuisance rather than a significant disrupter to life and all that goes with it.
