As the late great former Ohio State head coach Woody Hayes once said, "There can be no great victories in life without great adversity."

After an action-packed offseason, the path to State Farm Stadium and Super Bowl LVII in Arizona begins Thursday when the NFL kicks off its 103rd year of...

SB9 allows h...
