FOX reveals Big Noon Kickoff destination for Week 4
FOX will be staying in Big Ten country next Saturday morning for its “Big Noon Kickoff” pregame show.
After the network had its show in Madison in Week 3 for the Alabama-Wisconsin showdown, the scene will shift to Columbus, Ohio, for Week 4 when the show moves a little east for the game between No.3 Ohio State and unranked Marshall.
SEE YOU SOON COLUMBUS 🌰📍

The announcement was made on Saturday, when the 2-0 Buckeyes had a Week 3 bye after back-to-back blowout wins over Akron and Western Michigan to start the season. It is Big Noon’s first trip to Columbus of the season.
Meanwhile, the Thundering Herd were also on a bye in Week 3 after splitting their 1st 2 games of the 2024 season. In Week 1, Marshall routed Stony Brook, 45-3, before stumbling in a 31-14 Week 2 loss at Virginia Tech.
The Ohio State-Marshall showcase game will kick off at noon from Ohio Stadium.
The backdrop will give Marshall a rare national spotlight game. The Thundering Herd reside in the Sun Belt Conference, and Sun Belt teams don’t usually get the “Big Noon Kickoff” treatment. But a trip to play mighty Ohio State has provided just that for the Thundering Herd.
Marshall will be a heavy underdog against the 3rd-ranked team in the country and will try to be a rude guest in the weekly FOX spotlight game.
