Ohio State vs. Purdue game time, ‘network’ announced

Just when you thought Ohio State might dodge having a game exclusively streamed on Peacock. How do you feel about this? #GoBucks

If you thought we were dodging a bullet with the Maryland game being moved to the Noon ET slot on Fox and away from an exclusive stream on Peacock, think again.

That’s because the game time and network for the Purdue game was announced on Monday. Peacock will stream OSU’s game against the Boilermakers at noon on Saturday, Oct. 14.

There will not be another option to catch this game, so you’ll have to either tap the shoulder of a friend or location that can dial up the game on NBC’s streaming service, pony up some cash for a membership, or find some sort of free trial to tune into the game.

While trying to find a game on a streaming only subscription service will not make Ohio State football fans happy, it could be worse. It’ll be Purdue’s third Peacock-only game in a row, joining the Boilermakers’ game against Illinois last Saturday and its contest against Iowa this Saturday.

It’ll likely be the only game the Buckeyes appear on Peacock exclusively this season, but don’t be surprised if there is more of this in the future given the new television deal the Big Ten signed and the consumption trends in general are going.
