And there goes Cox, pad and bat propped forward but the ball screams into the back leg, lbw Giles. Leics 259-9. livefromquarantine.club

It looks gorgeous at Trent Bridge. A diagonal shadow is coming off Cox at the non-striker’s end as he watches Holland bat a ball from Pennington (4-44) into the ground. Ah, make that 5-44, as Holland edges to slip next ball. Leicestershire 259-8 – 43 to avoid the follow-on.

The Ball State Cardinals visit the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday, September 5, 2026 at 12:30 p.m. ET from Ohio Stadium, Columbus, OH. Ohio State opens as the preseason No. 1 team at home against Ball State on Saturday, with quarterback Julian Sayin coming off a 2025 season of 3,610 passing yards and 32 touchdowns. Ohio State posted the highest completion rate in the country last year at 76.7%, while Ball State finished with the fewest total yards in Division I at 2,551. Ohio State is a 50.5-point favorite at DraftKings, with the total set at 56.5. Below, we'll give you all the details you need to know about how to watch this game. How to Watch Ball State vs. Ohio State Players to Watch Ball State is still climbing out of the MAC's lower tier in coach Mike Uremovich's second year, and Mizzell gives the offense real juice at quarterback. He threw for 2,889 yards and 28 touchdowns a season ago at Division II Concord, with five games of 300 passing yards or more, the kind of volume production that earned him a shot at the FBS level. Ohio State's defense is replacing key pieces after last year's championship run, but this is still a massive step up in competition for Mizzell in his first game above Division II. How he handles that jump will say plenty about whether his production translates. Smith is the best player in college football, and it is not particularly close. He nearly became the first two-time winner of the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top receiver last season, and Ohio State is banking on him to make replacing 11 NFL draft picks, including three first-round selections, look easier than it should be. Ball State's defense has not faced a receiver with Smith's combination of size and separation, and there is no reason to expect Ohio State's staff to manage his workload in a game this lopsided on paper. If Smith opens the season the way he played most of last year, this will be over by the second quarter. Ball State vs. Ohio State Odds Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

The Ohio Bobcats visit the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday, September 5, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. ET from Memorial Stadium, Lincoln, NE. Nebraska and Ohio both open their 2026 seasons at 0-0 on Saturday in Lincoln. Nebraska held the passing edge between the two teams in 2025 (224.6 yards per game to Ohio's 184.2), while Ohio had the rushing advantage (227.4 to 145.9). Nebraska is a 23.5-point favorite at DraftKings, with the total set at 46.5. Below, we'll give you all the details you need to know about how to watch this game. How to Watch Ohio vs. Nebraska Players to Watch Thompson joins Ohio as one of coach John Hauser's most productive imports, and the numbers back that up. He posted 85 total tackles, including 33 solo stops and 5.5 for loss, picked off four passes and added a sack last season at Holy Cross. Ohio won 40 games over the previous four years under Hauser's predecessor, and Hauser inherits both that standard and Thompson's ballhawking presence in the secondary to help defend it. Nebraska brings in a senior transfer quarterback who is still unproven in Lincoln, and a secondary that already produced four interceptions a year ago gives Ohio a real chance to make that debut uncomfortable. Nebraska's quarterback picture is unsettled entering the opener, but Colandrea, a senior, is the most experienced name in the room and the leading candidate to open the season under center. Coach Matt Rhule has won at least seven games in each of his two seasons in Lincoln but still has not beaten a ranked opponent, extending a streak that has reached 29 straight losses to AP top 25 teams. Whoever starts at quarterback will face an Ohio defense that already produced four interceptions and 5.5 tackles for loss from Eli Thompson alone last season. A clean, mistake-free outing at quarterback keeps Rhule's program on track heading into a schedule that only gets tougher from here.
