Ohio State last lost to an in-state opponent in 1921, a year before Ohio Stadium opened.
For the last 101 years, in-state opponents have played Ohio State simply for the money it brings to its respective athletic program. That's how the non-Power 5 schools get by, for the most part. For the Buckeyes, it ends in a win; for their in-state foe, it ends with a paycheck.
Although Ohio State has dominated its in-state opponents for the last 101 years, Ryan Day knows that his team must be prepared and cannot take Toledo lightly Saturday night. In case the Buckeyes need any more reason to not take any opponent lightly, no matter the game spread or how big of favorites they might be, just look at the number of upsets there have been throughout the first two weeks of college football season already. Day knows that – especially when it comes to a team like Toledo, who has been one of the best teams in the MAC for much of the last few years.
