Ohio State’s road trip to Wisconsin on Oct. 28 will be under the lights, as the contest from Camp Randall Stadium will kickoff off at 7:30 p.m. EDT and will be broadcast on NBC, the Big Ten announced Monday.
This will be Ohio State’s first trip to Wisconsin since 2016, when the Buckeyes pulled off a 30-23 win in overtime over the Badgers. A wrinkle this time around, however, is that Wisconsin is now led by head coach Luke Fickell, a former Ohio State assistant and interim head coach in 2011.
The Badgers are off to a 4-2 start this season but received unfortunate news Monday that quarterback Tanner Mordecai suffered a broken hand in Wisconsin’s 15-6 loss to Iowa on Saturday and is expected to be out for the “immediate future,” according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
This will be the second primetime game on NBC this season for the Buckeyes in the first season of the Big Ten’s new media rights deal with CBS, FOX and NBC. Ohio State will also host Michigan State on Nov. 11, set for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff on NBC.
