Ohio State football's Homecoming game set for 12 p.m. against Rutgers

The Ohio State Buckeyes will see a familiar face when they kickoff the 2016 Homecoming Game against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights on Oct. 1 at noon. The game will be televised but the channel won't likely be announced until 6-12 days ahead of the event, according to the Big Ten Conference.

This will mark the second time former Ohio State assistant Chris Ash will be a visitor in The 'Shoe as the head coach for Rutgers -- the first time, the Buckeyes put on a show, winning 56-17.
