This game can't get any bigger.

Ohio State knew it would enter a blacked-out Autzen Stadium Saturday evening for the No. 2 Buckeyes' massive game against No. 3 Oregon. Ducks fans have been encouraged to wear black to the game since the university announced the format in May.

It turns out Ohio State's opponent will be wearing black as well.

For the first time, the Ducks will wear the all-black "Fly Era" uniforms teased earlier in the summer when the school's "Generation O" line was announced. Dubbed "Disrupt the Darkness," the all-black look is the most anticipated in the Generation O series.

Ohio State is set to wear their road whites for this game and teased the look, with some fans speculating or eagerly hoping they may wear white pants because they're blacked out in the image Ohio State football shared.

The winner of the top-three matchup, which features half of the remaining unbeaten teams in the Big Ten, will take a mighty step toward securing a spot in the Big Ten Championship Game.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET, and NBC will air the game broadcast. Ohio State is 9–1 all-time against Oregon but suffered its lone loss in the series the last time the teams met (2021, Columbus).
