These two teams have met two times previously in Columbus with Ohio State winning 24-21 in 2004 and 45-7 in 2010. The 2004 contest was especially memorable with a poor Marshall punt late setting up a walk-off winning field goal for Mike Nugent. That game also had the first reviewed play in Ohio Stadium history.
The Buckeyes last game against a Sun Belt school was in 2022 against Arkansas State, a 45-12 win.
