The Ohio State-Michigan game this year will start at noon on Nov. 24, both schools announced today.
The game, at Ohio Stadium, will be televised by ABC. The game has traditionally, but not always, been played early in the day.
The teams have met every year in the regular-season finale since 1935. This year it will be the final game of the season for Ohio State because of the NCAA-imposed bowl ban.
When asked last week if that would add to the importance of the game, new Buckeye coach Urban Meyer replied, “Sure does. That’s gonna be a big one, obviously.”
The Wolverines won 40-34 in 2011 for Brady Hoke in his OSU-Michigan coaching debut, snapping the Buckeyes’ seven-game winning stroke over their arch-rivals.
The Michigan game is the fourth for which Ohio State has a game time. The Oct. 6 game against Nebraska in Columbus is set for 8 p.m. Ohio State will play at Indiana also at 8 p.m. on Oct. 13. On Oct. 27, Ohio State’s game at Penn State will start at 6 p.m.
