Ohio State will have already played two night games through the first four games of the season. The season opener against Minnesota kicked off at 8 p.m. while this upcoming weekend's contest against Akron is scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff on Big Ten Network.
The Buckeyes kicked off at noon against Oregon in the home opener a couple weeks ago, and this past weekend's win over Tulsa was a 3:30 p.m. game.
Rutgers is 3-0 to start the season, with wins against Temple, Syracuse and Delaware. The Scarlet Knights take on No. 19 Michigan this weekend to begin their Big Ten slate.
