“We can’t speak on the health of the Ohio State players,” the spokesman said in an email to Buckeyes Wire. “As happens each week, especially during this environment, schools talk to each other several times each week leading up to a game in case something were to happen. If anything changes to the status of the game, we’ll certainly share that info as soon as possible. No indication of a change at this point.”
