OSU football to play in Cleveland in '09

11:21 a.m.

From staff reports

Ohio State and Toledo have signed an agreement to play a football game at Cleveland Browns Stadium in 2009.

OSU athletic director Gene Smith said today that the Buckeyes and Toledo are locked in on a two-game series. The second game will be held in Columbus in 2011, Smith said.

The last time Ohio State played a game in Cleveland was 1991, when the Buckeyes stopped Northwestern, 34-3, at Municipal Stadium.

Smith is in Cleveland today to announce the start of a men’s basketball series with Cleveland State that will start in the 2007-08 season.

Stadium to host OSU-Toledo in '09
Zac Jackson, Staff Writer

Ohio State and the University of Toledo announced Thursday that they will play in Cleveland Browns Stadium on Sept. 19, 2009. The second of the two-game series between the Buckeyes and the Rockets will be played in Columbus in 2011.

Cleveland Browns Stadium will host its first Division I-A college football game Sept. 2 this year, when Wisconsin and Bowling Green meet to open their seasons. The stadium previously hosted two Ohio Classic games played between historically black colleges.

Ohio State's last game in Cleveland was in 1991, when the Buckeyes beat Northwestern, 34-3, at Cleveland Municipal Stadium. The Buckeyes are 3-1 all-time in Cleveland, having defeated Illinois in 1942, lost to Purdue in 1943 and defeated Illinois in 1944

The game in Cleveland Browns Stadium is part of the Buckeyes' commitment to playing non-conference games against in-state schools.

"We think it makes sense to schedule Ohio schools whenever we can," Ohio State Director of Athletics Eugene Smith said. "Usually those games will be played in Ohio Stadium, but every so often a unique opportunity like this presents itself. I view this as a win-win situation for everyone."

Said Toledo coach Tom Amstutz: "This is a great opportunity to play one of the nation's powerhouses. We're very excited to play a game in Cleveland Browns Stadium. We have a lot of players from Cleveland in our program, so this will be a great experience for them and their families."

Ohio State beat Toledo, 49-0, in the schools' only previous meeting in Columbus in 1998. OSU opened its 2005 season by beating Miami (Ohio) University and hosts Bowling Green this October.

Ohio State needed a late defensive stop to hold off the University of Cincinnati in a game played at Paul Brown Stadium, home of the Bengals, in 2002. The Buckeyes went on to win the national championship.

"While I wasn't here in 2002 when Ohio State played in Cincinnati, I am told that game was a huge success," Smith said. "I expect the same type of excitement when we go to Cleveland.

"We are excited by the opportunity to have a presence in the Cleveland area. We have a tremendous fan base there and this should be a great experience for them and for our players, especially those players from Cleveland and the surrounding area."

It all begins and ends with the lines. The Bucks will be counting on some sophs to get some serious playing time at the tackles on offense and the team will need some serious improvement on the interior of the d-line. If this group wasn't talented enough to supplant the craptastic Nader Abdallah last year, then I don't like the prospects for this upcoming year.

Defensive backfield depth is also a huge question. Who will step up at safety and corner? Hopefully some freshmen will be able to do that.

Offensive skill positions will be a strength as well as linebacker and defensive end.

I see a repeat of this year's record. Maybe one game better depending on the bowl matchup.
