For James Franklin and Penn State, they have lost three straight to Ohio State in what has become an incredibly hard-fought series. The Nittany Lions should be commended in their resilience during the game, but that is likely little consolation for now.

For FOX, the Big Noon Saturday game was an especially big hit. According to a Sunday press release, the game in Columbus was the highest-rated event of the day. Beyond that, it is FOX’s highest-rated college football game so far this season.

Next week, FOX will be broadcasting The Game between Ohio State and Michigan in the Big Noon Saturday time slot. Will that game set even higher marks?
