Ohio State Football Adds Game With UConn for 2025 and Their Non-Conference Slate is Now Very Weird

Ohio State normally puts together a strong non-conference schedule, but even they aren't above scheduling a creampuff every now and again.

Ohio State agreed to a non-conference game against UConn, as well as a $2 million sum that makes it so that OSU does not have to play a return trip to Storrs. UConn will join Texas and Washington on Ohio State's non-conference schedule that year.

Texas is a blue-blood program that will make for must-see TV when they take on the Buckeyes. Washington is a solid team year in and year out that is in good hands with Jimmy Lake as head coach. UConn is...a football program.

Randy Edsall hasn't done much winning for the Huskies in his second stint as UConn head coach. The team is 6-30 in the last three seasons, they have won just two conference games, and they didn't win an AAC game in 2018 or 2019.

The Huskies left the AAC and will play as an independent in 2020, which led to some concerns that the university was trying to either move down from FBS to FCS or get rid of football all together. They seem to have an interest in keeping football if they're scheduling Ohio State.

Unless apes have retaken the earth and UConn somehow ends up as a team that can hang with Ohio State, this is probably going to be a convincing win early in the season for the Buckeyes.
