Ohio State vs. Northwestern Big Noon broadcast team change, Digi Mart USA News: According to Scarlet and Game, FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff game this Saturday between Ohio State and Northwestern will be called by Connor Onion and Robert Griffin III rather than Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt. The publisher attributes the change to the FAA grounding flights.
The publisher notes this is the fourth time this season the Buckeyes game has been the Big Noon Kickoff game of the week. Johnson and Klatt have been moved to the Utah vs.
Arizona game at 10:30 p.m. ET, the report states.
The publisher’s article is critical of Johnson’s recent play-by-play performance and praises Klatt as an analyst. These are the publisher’s opinions and were not independently verified.
The article also says Johnson and Klatt are expected to call The Game against Michigan, and possibly next week’s game against Nebraska. The report describes the 2026 season as Ohio State’s worst in 15 years, with a two-game skid, and says a loss would put head coach Ryan Day’s job in jeopardy.
