Western Michigan vs. Ohio State: Game time, live stream, TV

Ohio State nearly lost to Northern Illinois last week, hanging on to win 20–13. They’re now in the midst of a quarterback controversy after Urban Meyer wouldn’t name a starter for Week 4 after the game. Cardale Jones was pulled in favor of J.T. Barrett after going 4 of 9 for 36 yards and two interceptions. Ezekiel Elliot rushed for 108 yards on 23 carries.

Western Michigan picked up their first win of the year, 52–20 over Murray State, after two tough games against Michigan State and Georgia Southern. Quarterback Zach Terrell will look to improve upon his 355-yard, four-touchdown outing last week.
