The game time has finally been announced for Ohio State’s final home game of the season. The Buckeyes will take on the Illinois Fighting Illini at 3:30 p.m. ET, and the game will be broadcast on ABC. On Twitter, the Illinois Football account broke the news of the time, and what station would be carrying the game.

Ohio State leads the all-time series against Illinois, 67-30-4. This game is considered a rivalry, as the two schools battle for Illibuck, a wooden turtle.

The Buckeyes have won the last eight meetings against the Illini. However, the last time OSU lost Illibuck was in 2007 at home.

Illinois is the last game standing in the way before Michigan. The game time for ‘The Game’ has already been scheduled for a noon kick—and will be broadcast on Fox.
