Game Thread tOSU vs. Minnesota, Sat 11/7 @ 8pm ET, ABC

What's the most night games tOSU has played in 1 season? If the game vs Sparty is a night game as well this would be 5 in 1 season most that I can remember.
06 with troy had a few I thought... but night games are a UFM thing as he likes them for the recruiting.

This game will be awful. They have no offensive threat and our offense is looking to make up for lost games early in the season.

If minnesota scores it'd be a let down... they're that bad on offense.

Just two: @Texas and @Iowa. All others were 12:00 & 3:30 kicks. It was pretty standard under Tressel to have one or two per season, and that was what Urban inherited his first season.

Since Urban arrived there were two in 2012 (UNL & IU), three in 2013 (UW, @NW, PSU), and four in 2014 (VT, @PSU, ILL, @MSU) with kickoffs in the 7/8 slot. There were also a few non-traditional times such as 2012 @PSU (5:30 est), 2013 @cal (4:30 local, 7:30 est), and 2014 Cinncinnati (6:00 est).

This season appears to not only have four (@VT, PSU, @RU, MINN), but all four games are nationally broadcast on ABC, and the option is still open for ABC to pick up MSU for a fifth Ohio State prime time game.

Which I cannot believe the MSU game won't be a prime time game as well... Both will be top 5 teams at that point.
