Ahead of the matchup, head coach Ryan Day, offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, and defensive coordinator Matt Patricia will speak with members of the media at noon on Tuesday. The coaching staff will address recent performances and discuss preparations for the upcoming home contest.

The Buckeyes have experienced a sharp drop in the national standings over the past two weeks, falling from No. 2 to No. 21 in the Associated Press poll. Ohio State now holds a 6-3 record following a loss to USC on Halloween and a 41-28 defeat against Oregon on Saturday. The consecutive losses have significantly dampened the program’s postseason prospects ahead of the next College Football Playoff rankings update.

The setback against Oregon prompted an immediate change on the Buckeyes’ coaching staff, as special teams coordinator Robby Discher was dismissed after nine games.

Amid the team’s current challenges, broader shifts in the sport were also confirmed as the College Football Playoff announced an expansion to a 24-team tournament format beginning next season.
