COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State is bringing back the black jerseys once again this season for its homecoming game against Michigan State on Oct. 5, according to the Ozone.

This will be the third time that the Buckeyes have worn the black jerseys, first introduced in a night game against Penn State in 2015. Last season they wore them for a noon game against Nebraska. So far they are undefeated in the black uniforms.

The game will have a 7:30 p.m. kickoff in Ohio Stadium. The game will air on either ABC or ESPN.
