The Big Ten Network's pregame show BTN Tailgate will be on Ohio State's campus, Saturday morning before the Buckeyes take on Indiana. The live show begins at 10:30 a.m. on Big Ten Network and will have a heavy Ohio State flavor.

Former Buckeyes and Heisman trophy winners Eddie George and Archie Griffin will join the set together and the show will feature interviews from head coach Urban Meyer, Heisman-hopeful J.T. Barrett, Olympic gold-medalist Kyle Snyder, National Player of the Year-hopeful Kelsey Mitchell, defensive line coach Larry Johnson.

Meyer will speak as part of a sideline-to-sideline interview along with Gerry DiNardo.

The show will also feature a special "Coming Home" feature on Barrett, focusing on the Ohio State quarterback and his hometown of Wichita Falls, Texas.

Johnson will sit down for a conversation with current BTN analyst Anthony "Spice" Adams who played under Johnson during his playing years at Penn State.

To cap off the star-studded Buckeye cast, the show will feature interviews from Snyder, an Ohio State wrestler and now Olympic Gold-Medalist, as well as Mitchell, a National Player of the Year hopeful who leads perhaps the most talented Ohio State women's basketball team ever.

Students and fans will be able to enter the BTN Tailgate area which is located at the RPAC, Ohio State's main recreation center just outside the walls of Ohio Stadium, starting at 9 a.m. Attendees will be treated to free coffee, hot chocolate, donuts, candy Buckeyes and other snacks as well "Ohio State swag," while supplies last.

If you're in Columbus for the game, it may be worth your time to head over a few hours early.
