COLUMBUS, Ohio ( WCMH ) — Ohio State’s Big Ten opener at Michigan State that will be broadcast Saturday on Peacock has a new kickoff time.
An Ohio State spokesperson confirmed the evening contest will now start at 7:30 p.m., a 30-minute push from the originally announced 7 p.m. kickoff time. The Peacock-exclusive game in East Lansing will be the Buckeyes first of nine conference regular season games.
Three takeaways from Ohio State’s 49-14 win over Marshall
This is just the second time an Ohio State game will be broadcast exclusively by a streaming service with the first being the Buckeyes win last year over Purdue, which was also on Peacock.
The Buckeyes are fresh off a 49-14 win over Marshall in Week 4 to conclude non-conference regular season play. Michigan State enters the game with a 3-1 record after taking its first loss last Saturday 23-19 at Boston College.
After the Spartans’ home contest against the Buckeyes, they will travel to face Oregon in a Friday night matchup. Ohio State will return home for Week 6 when they take on Iowa at 3:30 p.m.
