FOX releases schedule for select Ohio State games this fall

Ohio State will again be a featured player in the Fox college football lineup with several big game times announced, some announced Friday.

We found out details Thursday on the Ohio State vs. Oregon matchup that will take place on Sept. 11. Now Fox has released details on a couple of other big games on the Buckeyes’ schedule.

It feels a bit odd, but Ohio State will begin the season on a Thursday night, opening Big Ten conference play on the road in Minneapolis on Sept. 2. This will be the second time in five years the Buckeyes have opened on a Thursday night. The last time was in 2017 when OSU defeated Indiana 49-21 in Bloomington.

The Gophers have a good core returning and could be a challenging test out of the gate for the Buckeyes. NFL games will not have started yet, so in prime-time on Thursday night, all eyes will be on Ohio State and Minnesota.

Fox has also released information for “The Game.” The greatest rivalry in college football, Ohio State vs. Michigan, will be played on Nov. 27 in Ann Arbor and will be the Fox Big Noon game of the week.

You might remember, Michigan had a COVID-19 outbreak right before the game last season and was unable to play. It was the first time since 1918 the two teams didn’t face each other in the regular season.

Go ahead and mark your calendars, fans. You’re going to want to make sure everything is clear for these high-profile matchups.

Look who’s replacing Urban Meyer on FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff Show

With Urban Meyer off to the NFL, FOX has hired his replacement on the popular pregame college football Big Noon Kickoff Show.

Former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer is moving on to the NFL after spending time as an analyst on FOX’s “Big Noon Kickoff Show.” His takes and analysis were entertaining and insightful and helped garner a fairly impressive audience and following in a short amount of time for the FOX Sports brand. So much so, that it crept into the market share of the popular ESPN “College GameDay” pregame show.

Now with Meyer no longer sitting at the desk, the network has reportedly reached into the pool of former national championship-winning coaches by luring former Oklahoma head coach and Ohio native Bob Stoops to fill the void.

This news comes courtesy of Andrew Marchand of the New York Post. Stoops is 60 years old and retired from coaching in 2017. He won the national championship in Norman in 2000 and became the program’s winningest coach.

Stoops will be joined with the familiar faces of host Rob Stone, and analysts Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart and Brady Quinn.
