Big Ten Sets Noon Kickoff for Ohio State at Nebraska on FOX

The Big Ten announced a noon ET kickoff on FOX for Ohio State’s Week 12 matchup at Nebraska on Nov. 21.

Central time at Memorial Stadium, with radio coverage on the Huskers Radio Network. Ohio State enters the fixture holding a 10-1 all-time record against the Cornhuskers, including a 4-0 mark under head coach Ryan Day. This marks the fifth time this season the Buckeyes will play at noon ET and the fifth time their game will broadcast on FOX.

The game represents the first trip to Lincoln for the Scarlet and Gray since 2021. The two programs first met in 1955 at Ohio Stadium, resulting in a 28-20 win for the Buckeyes under Woody Hayes against Bill Glassford’s Nebraska team. The defense totaled 14.0 tackles for loss in that victory, led by linebacker Cody Simon with eight tackles and 3.0 tackles for loss alongside an interception from cornerback Jordan Hancock.

The Buckeyes secured the scheduling update on the heels of a 28-19 win over Northwestern at Ohio Stadium, which halted a two-game skid following consecutive losses to USC and Oregon. Head coach Ryan Day’s squad stands at 6-3 overall and 4-2 in conference play, maintaining slim hopes of reaching the Big Ten Championship Game and the College Football Playoff.

The program must finish the final stretch without Julian Sayin, who underwent elbow surgery last month. Ryan Day noted of Sayin’s recovery timeline, “It’s not going to be next week or next month.”

Nebraska enters the matchup following a stretch that included losses to Indiana, Oregon, Washington, and Illinois after a 5-0 start to the year. Following the fixture against Ohio State, the Huskers conclude their regular-season schedule with a matchup against the Iowa Hawkeyes on Friday, Nov. 27.
