The Buckeyes' home opener kicks off at 3:30 p.m. ET on BTN (channel 1333 Time Warner Columbus/Delaware).
Unless you just
woke up from a coma, you know that Ohio State started the season off
right on Monday, beating Virginia Tech and getting the attention of
everyone in sports as they began their quest to return to the College
Football Playoff and defend that sweet, sweet title. Cardale Jones
started as QB for the fourth time, Braxton Miller and Ezekiel Elliott
made some Heisman-worthy plays, and J.T. Barrett showed the world that
he's the scariest backup QB since 2014 J.T. Barrett.
Today, Ohio State returns to
the Horseshoe for the first home game since beating Michigan back in
November 2014. (They've managed to keep busy since then.) The Buckeyes
will be hosting the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, who are coming off a 28-20
win over Colorado. That plus some big match ups should give us an
exciting Saturday. Let's take a look.
When and where is the Buckeye game?
Ohio State's playing here in Columbus today. The game will start at 3:30 p.m. ET. Plenty of time to tailgate.
Today's game will be on the Big Ten Network (channel 1333 if you have Time Warner). It will also be available to stream on
BTN2Go,
provided that you have a TV Provider login that gives you access to it.
The BTN TV crew for this game will be Kevin Kugler, Matt Millen, and
Lisa Byington. As always, you can listen in on 97.1 FM The Fan or your
local
Ohio State radio network affiliate.
Where will GameDay be spending the day?
Rece Davis and company are
making the trip to East Lansing, where the No. 5 Spartans will host the
No. 7 Oregon Ducks. Both teams are coming off of week 1 wins, and, as
you may recall, both teams lost to Ohio State last season. The Buckeyes
don't play Michigan State until November, and we wouldn't see Oregon
until the post-season, but both these teams have the potential to get in
the way of our championship dreams. Let's hope MSU does better in
primetime than Wisconsin did last week.
What's the B1G up to today?
There are six games on at noon
ET today: Oregon State at Michigan, W. Illinois at Illinois, Bowling
Green at Maryland, Buffalo at Penn State, Indiana State at Purdue, and
Miami (OH) at Wisconsin. Along with Ohio State, Washington State at
Rutgers and Minnesota at Colorado State start at 3:30 p.m. ET, with
Eastern Illinois at Northwestern following at 4 p.m. ET and Iowa at Iowa
State at 4:45 p.m. ET. Then at 8 p.m. ET, we've got S. Alabama at
Nebraska, Florida Int'l at Indiana, and, of course, No 7 Oregon at No. 5
Michigan State. With all 14 B1G teams playing today, it should be an
interesting day for the conference.
