COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio State's Sept. 11 home game against the Miami Hurricanes will be broadcast in 3-D by ESPN, the cable network announced Thursday.
The network says it will air about 13 college football games this season, concluding with the Tostitos BCS National Championship Game on January 10.
The defending Big Ten champion Buckeyes, ranked No. 3 nationally, will host No. 19 Miami at 3:40 PM in the first meeting between the two teams since the OSU defeated the Hurricanes to win the 2002 BCS National Championship.
This will be the second time that Ohio State has been featured in 3D by ESPN as the team’s game against USC on Sept. 9, 2009, served as a test telecast for the network.
The first two weeks of ESPN 3D’s inaugural college football season will open up with telecasts involving three of the top five ranked teams in an ESPN.com early preseason Top 25 poll.
Coverage will begin with No. 2 Boise State, entering the season with a 14-game winning streak, against No. 5 Virginia Tech from FedEx Field, home of the Washington Redskins Monday, Sept. 6.
Nationwide Insurance will become the presenting sponsor of the Memorial Tournament, beginning with the 2011 event, the insurance giant, tournament officials announced Friday.
The Buckeyes made it look easy in their season opener, manhandling Marshall 45-7, but know it won't be that easy next Saturday, when the 13th-ranked Miami Hurricanes come to Ohio Stadium.
Guillermo Barros Schelotto scored a 98th-minute penalty kick and the Columbus Crew reached their first U.S. Open Cup final since 2002 with a 2-1 overtime semifinal victory over short-handed D.C. United on Wednesday.
Like a sure-footed runner eluding tacklers, Ohio State head football coach Jim Tressel avoided weighing in on an ongoing controversy over rescheduling the OSU-Michigan game to some time other than the final weekend of the regular season.
