Nebraska will host Ohio State at Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 21, at 11 a.m. CST, and the game will be on FOX.
Ohio State Athletics posted the Big Ten announcement on Saturday night, Nov. 14: kickoff is Noon ET on FOX. Noon Eastern is 11 a.m. in Lincoln. The official Nebraska schedule now lists the same 11:00 a.m. CST start at Memorial Stadium. The university’s Rutgers recap, posted earlier, still said the kickoff and network had not been determined. The later announcement and the current schedule are the sources for this preview.
In the USA Today Coaches Poll published Sunday by Sporting News, Ohio State is No. 17 with a 7-3 record and 644 points. Nebraska received 12 votes and is not in the top 25. The Associated Press ballot on that page was blank at the time we checked, so this preview does not assign an AP ranking to either team.
Nebraska is 6-4 and 3-4 in the Big Ten after a 31-0 win at Rutgers. The Huskers close the regular season at Iowa on Friday, Nov. 27, at 11 a.m. CST, according to the university schedule. A television network for the Iowa game is not being stated here from that schedule row alone.
This is a home date after a road shutout. Official broadcast information for Ohio State now comes from the conference announcement posted by Ohio State Athletics, and from the Nebraska schedule time.
