Members of the Ohio State Marching Band form "Script Ohio" before Saturday's Ohio State-Oregon game on Sept. 11, 2021.

It's the first game back in a long time at Ohio Stadium for a lot of people.

Saturday, moments before No. 3 Ohio State hosted No. 11 Oregon, the Ohio State marching band waited on the field for drum major Austin Bowman to run down the ramp at the north end and take the field.

When he got to field level, though, gravity and momentum sent the second-year accounting major from Hebron, Ohio, sprawling. Bowman quickly popped back up, though, and pregame resumed without further incident.
