COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State football announced an attendance of 40,136 for Saturday’s spring game, marking the lowest figure for the event since 2021 when COVID-19 policies limited the crowd to 19,180. Excluding such restrictions, this year’s spring game was the lowest-attended rendition of the event since 2013 when it was played in Cincinnati.

A ton of fresh faces took the field for Ohio State as the offense beat the defense, 50-31. Six different player scored touchdowns in the game, three different quarterbacks took reps and the 2024 national champions received their rings. All-in-all, it was a fun mini-celebration of Buckeye football and a good sign of things to come.
