Big Noon Kickoff to originate from Columbus for Ohio State’s game against Indiana Saturday

The folks at FOX Sports have announced that the Big Noon Kickoff Show will originate from Columbus for the contest against Indiana.

Ohio State has an unexpectedly massive game this Saturday and it’s against the Indiana Hoosiers. Don’t fall off your Scarlet and Gray chair, but Indiana is ranked in the top ten in the major polls and in first place in the Big Ten East Division, 1/2 game ahead of the Buckeyes because of the canceled game between OSU and Maryland this past weekend.

The game is so big in fact that according to FOX Sports PR, the Big Noon Kickoff Show will be originating from Columbus to commemorate the matchup.

Coverage will begin at 10 AM with the show that showcases former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer as well as Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, Brady Quinn, and host Rob Stone. Following the show, the Big Noon Kickoff game of the week will be the top ten tussle between Indiana and OSU.

What will Ohio State do with the weekend off? Ryan Day gives some insight

With no game for the Buckeyes this Saturday, how will the team spend their extra time off?

Typically at this time in the week, we’re getting you ready for Saturday’s game with looks into enemy territory, reasons why the Buckeyes win, things to watch for, and more. More importantly, Friday’s for the football team are for a final walkthrough and preparations. But since the game against Maryland has been canceled, how will Ohio State spend its time?

Head coach Ryan Day gave some insight while answering questions from the media on Thursday. It’s no secret that Coach Day is in favor of being able to replace an opponent if the original opposition is unable to play. And we all know that Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren has unequivocally said “No.”

So what’s a coach to do when you’ve been planning for a game and the other team lets you know they can’t play four days before kickoff? Coach Day says, move on and get ready for the next one.

Responding to how the team was moving forward without a game against Maryland, Day was quick to answer.

“…fast and furious… All of our attention last night and today went to Indiana. Anything we do now is a bonus,” Day said.

Bonus time to prepare for a quality opponent… not a bad consolation prize.

You have to believe Day and the Buckeyes hate missing an opportunity for actual live game action. However, instead of whining and complaining, the Buckeyes are controlling what they can.

Time to move on and get ready for what could be a de facto Big Ten East championship game against a very good Hoosier squad. Who would have thought?

Ohio State vs. Indiana network, game time announced

According to a tweet from Joel Klatt, we now know when the potential top ten matchup between Ohio State and Indiana will take place.

We’re slowly getting the details of games on the 2020 Ohio State football schedule. The latest comes thanks to FOX College Football’s Joel Klatt who let it slip that the Buckeyes will host what is currently a top ten Indiana team at Noon two games from now.

OSU travels to Maryland this weekend, then will be the FOX Big Noon Kickoff Game of the Week when the Hoosiers invade the banks of the Olentangy on November 21.

As long as IU can take care of business on the road against Michigan State this coming week, there will be some surprisingly high stakes on the line the week after. Justin Fields against Indiana’s Michael Penix should be an intriguing quarterback matchup to keep an eye on.

The winner, somewhat surprisingly in the Hoosiers’ case, might have the inside track to the Big Ten East division title.
