When No. 1 Ohio State hosts Big Ten rival Michigan State on Saturday night at Ohio Stadium, the Buckeyes will be wearing a new alternate uniform.
The all-gray uniform with scarlet numbers will be combined with the team’s traditional striping pattern. According to a release on the school’s official website, this will be the first alternate uniform combination of all-gray with scarlet accents.
Ohio State has worn various alternate versions of its uniform 33 times since 2009, with the Buckeyes sporting an impressive 26–7 record wearing an alternate uniform with seven consecutive wins in alternates at Ohio Stadium.
