BYU Football: Five opponents the Cougars should schedule soon
By Shaun Gordon
Ohio State
Last May BYU AD Tom Holmoe set the rumor mill ablaze with a single tweet:
Coug Fans: Should I try and get a game? pic.twitter.com/7aBCc30bBl

Fans were nearly unanimously in favor, with more than 100 people replying to Holmoe’s tweet.
And why wouldn’t they want it? Ohio State is one of the premier teams in the nation. Love them or hate them, you always want to play the best, and the Buckeyes are right up there with the best.
Plus, they’ve got a coach who’s quite familiar to BYU fans. Urban Meyer may not have been at Utah for long, but he certainly didn’t endear himself to the Cougars.
Does “team down south” ring any bells?
This wouldn’t be the first time these two teams have squared off. BYU and Ohio State have faced each other three times, and the Buckeyes have won all three.
The last game was in 1993, so after a 25-plus year hiatus, why not renew the series?
