Welcome to Trivia Time, the community quiz that will unequivocally prove how smart the community is...or not. We believe that Eleven Warriors is home to the most knowledgeable Buckeye fans on the planet. It is now time for you to prove it.
Below, you will find 10 questions. The answer with the most votes for each question will be the "community answer". The answers and community grade will be revealed at the bottom of next week's Trivia Time.
As we near the return of Luke Fickell to the Ohio Stadium sidelines, you will find some trivia questions below to help you pass the time.

In between this week's questions, you will find the results of last week's Trivia Time based on FAU.

Who is Florida Atlantic's coach?
Butch Davis...........0.3%
Lane Kiffin............98.5%
Nick Saban............0.3%
Daniel Tosh............0.9%
Yes, Daniel Tosh does look like Lane Kiffin (and does a great impersonation), but he is not the coach of the Owls. For the two people that selected Butch Davis and Nick Saban...man, there are no words.

Bowling Green.......3%
Indiana.................17%
Oregon State........79%
Virginia Tech...........1%
I'm concerned for those of you that could not remember Ohio State started last season with a 77-31 beating of the Beavers. It's one of three things: You had way too much pre-game preparation, you're developing dementia or the game just wasn't memorable enough for you. My hope is that your excuse is option one or three.
Difficulty: 2nd and 5
