Ohio State Football To Play Oregon Early In 2021 Season

Will Chris Henry Play In Oregon Game?

Buckeyes seek to bounce back from loss in playoff semi to Alabama

The Ohio State Buckeyes have announced that they will play the Oregon Ducks in the 2021 season opener on September 11th in Arlington, Texas. The game will be played at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys.

The Buckeyes are coming off a disappointing loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide in the College Football Playoff semifinal. Justin Fields, who will likely be the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, will be replaced by five-star quarterback C.J. Stroud.

Oregon is coming off a 4-3 season in 2020. The Ducks were led by quarterback Tyler Shough, who threw for 1,554 yards and 13 touchdowns. However, Shough has since transferred to Texas, and Oregon will now be led by redshirt freshman Anthony Brown.

The game between Ohio State and Oregon is expected to be one of the most anticipated games of the 2021 season. Both teams are ranked in the top 10 of the preseason polls, and the game could have a major impact on the College Football Playoff race.

One of the biggest storylines of the game will be whether or not Ohio State wide receiver Chris Henry will play. Henry, a five-star recruit, was suspended for the 2020 season due to an undisclosed violation of team rules. He is expected to be reinstated for the 2021 season, but it is unclear if he will be eligible to play in the Oregon game.

If Henry is able to play, he would be a major addition to the Buckeyes offense. He is one of the most talented receivers in the country, and he would give Ohio State a much-needed deep threat.

The game between Ohio State and Oregon is sure to be a great one. Both teams are loaded with talent, and the game could have a major impact on the College Football Playoff race.
