Ohio State traveled to Minnesota for the first game of the season on Sept. 2 and after a shaky start pulled away from the Gophers in the second half. Oregon, meanwhile, had an injury scare when Kayvon Thibodeaux, the possible No.1 pick in next year's NFL Draft, left a 31-24 win over Fresno State with an injury last week.
FOX Big Noon Kickoff will be in Columbus for the showdown as the game is one of college football's most anticipated non-conference matchups of the 2021 season. Ohio State was supposed to travel to Eugene, Oregon, last year, but COVID-19 canceled all regular season non-conference games for the Buckeyes.
