The Marshall game will take the place of the first of a scheduled two-year home-and-home series against Washington that Ohio State canceled in February at a cost of $500,000. Ohio State will pay Marshall $1.6 million to play.
Ohio State also has added games against Nevada and Charlotte for the 2029 season. The Buckeyes will play the Wolf Pack on Sept. 1 and the 49ers on Sept. 8. Ohio State has never played either team. OSU will pay $1.8 million each to Nevada and Charlotte.
