Ohio State’s first Big Ten road test of 2025 wasn’t pretty, but it was powerful.

Caden Curry and Kayden McDonald dominated the trenches, Julian Sayin stayed poised in his first true road start, and CJ Donaldson sealed the deal late. It was a statement of toughness, resilience, and championship mettle — the kind of win that keeps Ohio State atop the polls.

Ohio State left no doubt in its first game as the nation’s No. 1 team since 2015, steamrolling Grambling State 70-0 in the Horseshoe.
