Unfortunately for the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/sports\/college-sports\/big-ten\/ohio-state\" data-autotag=\"a26aaf21-d8f2-4348-879d-94fd6ac60856\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Buckeyes<\/a>, it requires a road trip to Austin. OSU will travel to <a href=\"http:\/\/longhornswire.usatoday.com\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Texas<\/a> to face the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/ncaaf\/teams\/texas-longhorns\/3488\/\" data-autotag=\"822d9954-d86b-4626-bf51-6dd81a3c1a32\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Longhorns<\/a> on September 12, and what was speculation is now certain: kickoff will be at 7:30 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Ohio State and Texas faced off in Columbus in 2025, but due to the Big Ten&#8217;s contract with Fox, the game was part of the network&#8217;s Big Noon Kickoff, which features the Buckeyes more than any other team. That&#8217;s great exposure for Fox, but often leaves fans without the energy and excitement of a night game at the &#8216;Shoe. Looking at the schedule for the 2026 season, it looks like it will be more of the same. Since OSU is on the road on the 12th and <a href=\"https:\/\/wolverineswire.usatoday.com\/\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Michigan<\/a> is hosting <a href=\"http:\/\/soonerswire.usatoday.com\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Oklahoma<\/a> on the same day, the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/ncaaf\/teams\/michigan-wolverines\/3435\/\" data-autotag=\"768439b8-87f7-44fb-88d2-8a23806615b0\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Wolverines<\/a> will get the noon time slot instead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">It was also announced that College GameDay will be on hand for what should be a matchup to determine the No. 1 team in the rankings. The game will be televised nationally on ABC with Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler calling the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">It&#8217;s too bad Ohio State must go on the road to get prime time billing. It&#8217;ll be a hostile environment, which will make a win feel even sweeter if the Buckeyes can pull it off. But at the very least, fans will get to see their team under the lights in a marquee regular-season game.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"gnt_em_cp_cw_i\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/86628160007-buckeyescarfagnas.jpg\" data-gl- decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Contact\/Follow us\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BuckeyesWire\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@BuckeyesWire<\/a>\u00a0on Twitter, and like our page on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BuckeyesWire\/\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> to follow ongoing coverage of Ohio State news, notes, and opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Need a news break? <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (play)|e|auto spike click:7|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/play.usatoday.com\/?itm_source=SPIKE&amp;itm_campaign=PLAYSPIKE&amp;itm_medium=ONSITE\">Check out the all new PLAY hub with puzzles, games and more!<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"May 14, 2026, 8:51 a.m. ET The Ohio State football team is finally going to get a marquee&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":292853,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[33,107004,107005,35,44,6343,3160,3155,45,1589,18378,20874,107006,28245,28897,16547,33965,4447,217,43,46,688,4928,4929,9025,27,29,28,216,36],"class_list":["post-292852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-accessfree","tag-sourcebuckeyes-wire","tag-sstssportscollegebuckeyesfootball","tag-sstsnfootball","tag-tagamerican-football","tag-tagaustin","tag-tagbig-10-hub","tag-tagbig-ten-conference-football","tag-tagcollege-sports","tag-tagespn-inc","tag-tagfacebook","tag-tagfox-broadcasting-company","tag-taggameday","tag-tagmichigan-wolverines","tag-tagmichigan-wolverines-football","tag-tagncaa-big-ten-conference","tag-tagohio-state-buckeyes","tag-tagohio-state-buckeyes-football","tag-tagoverall-negative","tag-tagsec-hub","tag-tagsports-news","tag-tagtexas","tag-tagtexas-longhorns","tag-tagtexas-longhorns-football","tag-tagtwitter","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news","tag-tx","tag-typestory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=292852"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292852\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/292853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=292852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=292852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=292852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
