How To Watch Ohio State vs. Rutgers: TV Network, Streaming, Tickets

The No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes head east this weekend to face Rutgers.

This might be one of the biggest mismatches in OSU football history.

The Buckeyes have absolutely rolled over all nine opponents they have faced so far this season.

Rutgers has wins over lowly UMass and Liberty, and a whole lot of lopsided losses in the rest of their games.

The Scarlet Knights lost 35-0 to an Indiana team the Buckeyes beat 51-10.

Maryland beat Rutgers, 48-7 and then lost 73-14 at Ohio State last weekend.

The transitive property is not an exact science in college football, but with margins this big, you’re comfortably within “horseshoes and hand grenades” territory.

The Buckeyes have dominated the series since Rutgers joined the Big Ten, jumping out to a combined lead of 254-7 before a few garbage-time scores by RU allowed them to fire their stadium’s cannon occasionally.

Here’s everything you need to know to watch this weekend’s edition of the Buckeyes and Scarlet Knights.

Kickoff Time

The game kicks off Saturday, November 16 at 3:30 pm Eastern.

TV & Streaming

The game will appear on Big Ten Network.

You can stream it via FoxSports.com or the FoxSportsGo app. Brandon Gaudin, James Laurinaitis, and Elise Menaker are on the call.

Radio

The game will be carried live on the Ohio State Football Radio Network. Find your local Ohio State Football radio station here.

Weather

The forecast for Saturday is calling for a high temperature of 39 and sunny skies.

The wind will be around 10 MPH, and temperatures should fall into the low-to-mid 30s by the end of the game.

You can find an updated weekend forecast for the New Brunswick, NJ area here.

Point Spread

The Buckeyes are a 52.5-point favorite against the Knights. The Over/Under for the game is 61.5.

If you want to combine those numbers, that means Vegas is expecting something in the neighborhood of a 57-5 win for Ohio State.

Tickets

This will likely not come as a major shock, but tickets are extremely available for this weekend’s game.

If you desperately need to purchase seats directly from the school for some deep-seated psychological reason, they have tickets between the 40s available for $175 on their office ticketing website.

If your respect for money outweighs that, great seats are available far cheaper on the secondary market.

Outlets like StubHub can get you in the door for $29, and you can sit on the 50 for prices starting at $50 or so.

As always, those prices will probably drop as game day approaches.

You can find an SHI Stadium seating chart here.

Gates will (probably) open at 2:00 pm, 90 minutes prior to kickoff. But that’s just an assumption since Rutgers hasn’t updated their gameday information webpage since the Liberty game. The phrase you’re looking for is “Consistent levels of excellence.”
