COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio State Buckeyes will play in a second-straight home game on Saturday, their final of the season, when the Minnesota Golden Gophers come to Columbus this weekend.
The game is slated for a 4 p.m. kickoff Saturday at Ohio Stadium.
The Buckeyes are coming off a 38-3 rout of Michigan State where wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and quarterback Kyle McCord shined.
McCord threw for a career-high 335 yards for the 10-0 Buckeyes, who overwhelmed the Spartans with touchdowns on five of their six first-half possessions.
Harrison caught two of McCord’s three touchdown passes and rushed for another score. He finished with seven receptions for 149 yards.

*Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles will answer questions following Coach Day.
Ohio State’s defense, missing several key players due to injuries, held Michigan State to 182 total yards and two third-down conversions on 14 attempts.
The Buckeyes are rolling toward another high-stakes game with Michigan if they don't overlook Minnesota this week.
