Ohio State viewing guide: Time, TV channel, What to Watch in Week Two

COLUMBUS — Through six minutes last week, Ohio State looked unstoppable.

Four drives. Four Justin Fields touchdowns. Ohio State rolled over a Florida Atlantic squad that was overmatched in Ohio Stadium last week. But the fifth-ranked Buckeyes won’t have as easy of a time this week when program legend Luke Fickell brings Cincinnati to Columbus for the first time since 2014.

The Bearcats, while not ranked, pose a threat to the Buckeyes. Their defense is one of the best in the country. They beat UCLA last week in a game that wasn’t as close as the score indicated. And the Buckeyes know Fickell and his coaching staff will have Cincinnati ready for their first true test of the season.

Ohio State hasn’t lost to an in-state rival since the 19th century. But Cincinnati is a test that the Buckeyes haven’t seen from an in-state team in some time.

For anybody heading to the game, listening on the radio or watching on TV, Lettermen Row has all the viewing information that could possibly be need to not miss a moment.
