Another week, another Big Noon Saturday.
The Big Ten has announced that Ohio State's Nov. 9 matchup with Purdue will be broadcast at noon on FOX. The kickoff and television time will mark the Buckeyes' third consecutive Big Noon Saturday, following their wins over Nebraska on Oct. 26 and Penn State on Saturday.

In addition to Ohio State's now-three-consecutive matchups on Big Noon Saturday, the Purdue game will mark the Buckeyes' fourth appearance on the network this season, along with the team's win over Marshall on Sept. 21. Ohio State will also face Michigan on Big Noon Kickoff on Nov. 30. It's possible — if not probable — that the Buckeyes will face Indiana on the network a week earlier on Nov. 23.
Ohio State will enter next weekend with a 7-1 record and a 4-1 mark in Big Ten competition. Purdue, on the other hand, will be 1-7 with an 0-5 mark. The Boilermakers' lone win this season came against FCS Indiana State. Their losses have come to Notre Dame, Oregon State, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Illinois, Oregon and Northwestern. Most of those contests ended in blowouts, save for their defeats against Illinois (50-49) and Northwestern (26-20 OT).
