The Ohio State football team has two tough road games that they have to play this season. Oregon is by far the toughest game. Oregon is likely going to be a top-five team in the preseason polls. They are one of the top favorites to not only win the Big Ten but also the national championship.
The other tough road game that the Buckeyes have this season is Penn State. State College is one of the toughest environments to play in in all of college football. Some of Ohio State's toughest games have come in Happy Valley. Most of those games have been white-out games.
There was some speculation that this year's game could possibly be a white-out game. Penn State typically likes to do that against the Buckeyes to give them a tougher road to a victory. That will not be the case this season because Penn State has their white-out game for a different date.

Instead of having their white-out game against Ohio State, Penn State has announced that game will take place against Washington this year. That means that the game against the Buckeyes more than likely won't be a night game. In fact, it will most likely be a noon game now.
This is a game that could be a Big Noon Kickoff game. FOX loves having its best matchups on at noon, and a lot of those matchups include the Buckeyes. This makes the game a lot easier for Ohio State to play. A night game would have been a lot tougher to play.
We won't know the official time of the game for some time. The Big Ten likes to wait until the week prior to make announcements of some of the game times. Most of Ohio State's kickoff times have yet to be announced.

No matter when the game will be played, the Ohio State football team has to be ready to play a good team.
