Two undefeated teams will take the field, but one of them is a massive favorite when the No. 6 Ohio State Buckeyes play host to the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers on Saturday, Sept. 16 at 4 p.m. ET, from Ohio Stadium. Always a contender for the College Football Playoffs, the Buckeyes enter the contest with a bevy of the nation’s top players, notably receiver Marvin Harrison, Jr. Check out if an upset occurs exclusively on Fox, which you can stream with a live TV streaming service.

About the Ohio State vs. Western Kentucky Game

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day, after deferring a definitive declaration, named Kyle McCord as the team’s starting quarterback this week. He’s been consistent through two games, throwing for 497 yards and three touchdowns. Marvin Harrison, Jr., a likely first-round pick in the NFL Draft next year, is his top receiver with nine catches for 178 yards and two touchdowns.

On the other side of the field, Western Kentucky’s high-powered attack is led by senior quarterback Austin Reed. He’s thrown for 589 yards and six touchdowns — all to different receivers. The Hilltoppers have scored at least 40 points in each of their victories, but they have not defeated a ranked team since beating Marshall Thundering Herd in 2014.
