FOX was on site with the Big Noon Kickoff show for Saturday’s game between Michigan and Penn State, and the coverage throughout the day was fantastic. As for the game itself, it drew a massive ratings number for FOX, the network confirmed in a Tuesday announcement.

According to FOX, the game between the Wolverines and Nittany Lions drew 9.15 million viewers on Saturday. That makes the matchup the most-watched game of Week 11 on any network and the second most-watched college football game of the season on FOX.

The Big Noon Saturday time slot is also the most-watched window in college football throughout the 2023 season:

Saturday’s game was not short on intrigue, and the nation was tuned in to see it all. It was a top-10 game between divisional rivals, but, of course, the drama went deeper this week.

Michigan was playing its first game since a suspension for Jim Harbaugh was handed down by B1G commissioner Tony Petitti. Despite that suspension, Sherrone Moore was able to rally the team and produce a big road win to remain undefeated.
