No. 4 Ohio State opened the season at Huntington Bank Stadium, where they faced the "Minnesota Golden Gophers." This was the 51st meeting between the teams, with Ohio State having winning record against the Golden Gophers at 44–7–0. The Buckeyes had won ten straight entering the game, "which was their second longest current Big Ten winning streak." The teams last met in 2018, with the Buckeyes winning 30–14 at Ohio Stadium.
Ohio State took an early lead on 71-yard touchdown run by Miyan Williams and a 35-yard field goal. Leading 10–0, Minnesota scored two consecutive touchdowns in the second quarter to take a 14–10 lead at the half. The teams traded touchdowns to start the third quarter. C. J. Stroud then hit Garrett Wilson on a 56-yard touchdown pass to give the Buckeyes a 24–21 lead. On the ensuing possession, Haskell Garrett recovered a strip sack and returned the fumble 32 yards for a touchdown and pushing the Buckeye lead to 31–21. Following Minnesota field goal, Stroud hit TreVeyon Henderson on a 70-yard pass and run to extend OSU's lead to 14. Minnesota narrowed the lead to seven again with just over five minutes remaining. But Stroud hit Chris Olave for a 61-yard touchdown, "Olave's second in the game and Stroud's fourth touchdown pass." The 45–31 win moved OSU to 1–0 in conference on the season.
Williams ran for 127 yards on nine carries while Stroud completed 13 of 22 pass for 294 yards and four touchdowns. OSU's defense, though scoring a touchdown, surrendered 203 yards rushing and 205 yards passing to Minnesota in the win.
