Ohio State will enter the Marshall game coming off its first of two bye weeks this season. The team's second off week is scheduled for Oct. 19 after its much-anticipated trip to Eugene, Oregon, to battle the Ducks.
The Buckeyes hold a 2-0 record over the Thundering Herd all-time, including a 24-21 win in Columbus on Sept. 11, 2004, and a 45-7 win in Columbus on Sept. 2, 2010. The NCAA later vacated the second win following the events of "Tattoogate," an incident that resulted in five Ohio State players — Terrelle Pryor, DeVier Posey, Dan "Boom" Herron, Mike Adams and Solomon Thomas — receiving punishment for selling personal memorabilia in exchange for tattoos, a violation of NCAA rules.
