Saturdays game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and Illinois Fighting Illini has been officially cancelled due to a COVID 19 breakout. The game was set for noon in Champaign Illinois.
The Ohio State Department of Athletics has paused all team-related football activities after further positive tests for the coronavirus were discovered after a round of PCR testing this afternoon.
The program will resume its team activities when its medical staff determines it is safe to do so based on protocols established by the Big Ten Conference.
The Buckeyes will need to play in at least 6 regular season games to qualify for a chance to play in the College Football Playoffs this year. This is now their second game that has been cancelled and can’t afford to have any of their remaining games cancelled.
They have two games remaining, plus a likely trip to the Big Ten Championship Game on December 19th.
