Ohio State vs. Nebraska to Air as Noon Game on FOX’s ‘Big Noon Saturday’

Ohio State University‘s homecoming football game against the University of Nebraska is scheduled for October 26 and will commence at noon. The game will be broadcast as part of FOX‘s “Big Noon Saturday” lineup, a decision announced on Monday.

This marks the third consecutive game that Ohio State will feature on network television. Previously, the Buckeyes’ recent match was televised by NBC, while their game the week before was aired on CBS.

Nebraska’s visit to Columbus marks their first return since 2020, when the Cornhuskers played amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. During that season, Big Ten‘s health protocols prohibited fans from attending games at Ohio Stadium.

Currently, Nebraska is nearing bowl eligibility for the first time since 2016, now in their second season with head coach Matt Rhule. The Nebraska Cornhuskers will face the Indiana Hoosiers this weekend before traveling to Ohio.

Ohio State, meanwhile, is unbeaten and had a recent bye week following their travel to Oregon. The Buckeyes look forward to maintaining their performance as they prepare to host Nebraska.
