COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Primetime football is back at Ohio Stadium Saturday as the Buckeyes host the Western Michigan Broncos at 7:30 p.m.
After a 52-6 win over Akron in Week 1, the Scarlet & Grey return to the field and could have two key players on both sides of the ball back. Offensive lineman Donovan Jackson and linebacker Cody Simon are both available and off the injured list after missing last week's season opener. Just four Buckeyes players are on this Saturday's injured list for Week 2.

The No. 2-ranked Buckeyes will look for a faster start in its second game of the 2024 season as quarterback Will Howard leads the offense under the lights. Ohio State can put the pedal to the metal Saturday night before the team gets next week off to recover.
Western Michigan is fresh off a narrow 28-14 loss to Wisconsin in Week 1 and after Saturday's game in Columbus, the Broncos will play its home opener next week in Kalamazoo against Bethune-Cookman.
