CBS will be the fourth different network in four games to televise an Ohio State game this season, joining FOX (Texas), Big Ten Network (Grambling State) and Peacock (Ohio). The game at Washington, which will also be Ohio State’s first road game of the year, will be Ohio State’s second 3:30 game of the season (Grambling State).
Ohio State has the week off this week before it begins conference play next week. Washington, which had a bye this past weekend, plays in-state rival Washington State in its non-conference finale on Saturday (7:30 p.m., CBS) before hosting the Buckeyes at Husky Stadium next weekend.
Ohio State has a 9-3 all-time record against Washington with four straight wins in the series. The Buckeyes last played Washington in the Rose Bowl to end the 2018 season, earning a 28-23 win over the Huskies in Urban Meyer’s final game as Ohio State’s head coach.
