Buckeyes, Trojans to clash in primetime on ESPN
No surprise here: Ohio State and Southern Cal will play in prime time when the Trojans visit the Shoe on Sept. 12, OSU announced this morning.
But the rematch is not on ABC. The 8 p.m. game will be televised on ESPN. Of course, if ABC had its way we couldn’t tell the difference. You know, that “ESPN on ABC” nonsense.
Anyway, if you don’t have cable you’ll have to mooch off a friend or head to the bar. But if you can afford to head to the bar, you should have cable.
Ohio State is 6-2 in night games at Ohio Stadium and 32-15 overall when games kickoff after 5 p.m. ET (local time).
Ohio State night games at Ohio Stadium:
2008 — Penn State 13, OSU 6 2005 — Texas 25, OSU 22 2003 — OSU 28, Washington 9 2001 — OSU 38, Northwestern 20 1999 — OSU 42, UCLA 20 1997 — OSU 24, Wyoming 10 1993 — OSU 21, Washington 12 1985 — OSU 10, Pitt 7
