Is there a way to tell if this will be available in 4K? The Oregon game was the first 4K game I have watched and it was (visually, not football-wise) the most impressive picture I have ever seen. Makes the normal broadcasts look like 1st gen YouTube.

As it is my role here to belabor the obvious and to do so using as many words as possible, allow me to point out that neither the Fox Sports App nor YouTubeTV can provide the game in better resolution than the cameras at the game are capable of. Any outlet's info about which games are in 4K is going to apply to any medium, be it broadcast, satellite, cable, or streaming via whatever your connection to the internet happens to be. And that includes apps that provide streaming.

So if you can find a good source of info on 4K, use it, regardless whether you use that source to watch. I'd like to use more words to explain this, but it really is that simple.

Here is a screenshot from an unofficial source on 4K. Note that the Disney family of networks does not publish their plans for 4K very far in advance, but it looks like both the OSU-MD and Iowa-PSU games are probably in 4K this coming Saturday.

Having said that, some apps might not actually use all of the bandwidth that the supplier provides.

Absolutely true and thanks for the schedule. The biggest advantage I noted was the apparent lack of the otherwise grossly obvious transcoding defects in standard HD broadcasts (especially easy to see on a 77 in tv 8 feet away). The 4K stream may be "fake 4K" as is often noted with many 4K movies, but the end product (at least for football) is as big of a jump as going from 480i to 720p. At least to my eyes based on that one game I watched.

Edit - sorry to stray off topic

No way is your 4K view on a 77-inch screen better than what the ref sees on that 6-to-9 inch screen they bring out for replays.

I don't think Maryland is that good of a team. Outside of that win over West Virginia in week 1 (debatable how "good" West Virginia is) this is a team that barely beat Illinois and struggled with Kent State before getting absolutely destroyed by Iowa. Hopefully they continue to play like this past week and run them off the field.

I love to boat race teams into oblivion, but I'm wondering if a hard fought first half wouldn't be more beneficial to the team. Got a bye week after this so maybe a battle would be better to keep their focus going. W is the main thing so if they die, they die.

Going by YouTubetv it seems Fox runs 3-4 4k broadcasts a weekend and ESPN runs 1.

BEST START IN FIVE YEARS

11 TURNOVERS IN PAST THREE GAMES

TAGOVAILOA WAS RED HOT BEFORE IOWA

TIED FOR MOST SACKS IN THE BIG TEN

JUST ONE CLOSE GAME IN ALL-TIME SERIES

The one outlier in the all-time series, of course, is 2018’s memorable all-offense affair wherein the Buckeyes topped the Terps 52-51 in overtime. Dwayne Haskins threw for 400 yards, J.K. Dobbins ran for 200, two Buckeye wideouts topped the century mark and all of that was just barely enough to eke out a win.
