While it's the biggest day of the year for the Ohio State football team, not every Buckeye gets the privilege of being at The Game when it’s played in Ann Arbor.
Per Big Ten travel rules, a team can only bring 74 players to a road game (though Ohio State has an exemption for injured team captain Kamryn Babb that allows it to bring 75). The travel roster for Ohio State’s final game of the regular season:

The travel roster includes 20 true freshmen.
Along with Babb, two other players listed on the travel roster are also unavailable for Saturday’s game: Jack Miller and Demario McCall. Neither of them were spotted during pregame warmups, so it does not appear that either of them actually made the trip.
Backup offensive lineman Josh Fryar also suffered an apparent leg injury during pregame warmups, which could leave the Buckeyes with just 71 available players, as he had to be helped back to the locker room by members of Ohio State’s medical staff.
