Ohio State vs. Penn State is officially a noon game.
As has been anticipated for months, Ohio State’s Nov. 1 home game against Penn State will be FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff game of the week and will be played at 12 p.m. at Ohio Stadium.
Because FOX owns the first three picks in the Big Ten TV networks’ preseason draft, it was always expected that Ohio State vs. Penn State would be FOX’s third pick after Ohio State’s season opener vs. Texas and regular-season finale at Michigan. Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork acknowledged as much during an August interview with WOSU.
