It will be Honda's fourth auto plant in Ohio. Executive vice president Bob Nelson said the plant "will be one of Honda's most advanced in the world," and production is expected to start in 2029, pending final government approvals.

  • Location: between the Marysville and East Liberty plants
  • Vehicles: hybrid, gasoline-powered and battery-electric

WSYX says all three losses have been blamed at least in part on special teams. The latest was Saturday's home loss to Oregon, where a late first-half fake punt shifted the momentum. NBC4 reports the university hadn't confirmed the move or named a replacement.
