Army vs. Ohio State 2017 live stream: Time, TV channel, and how to watch online

Saturday’s game between the Army Black Knights and the Ohio State Buckeyes will mark the first time in history these two programs will meet on the gridiron. Army is heading into this matchup at 2-0, with the Buckeyes trying to move on from their 31-16 Week 2 loss to Oklahoma when they welcome the team from West Point to Ohio Stadium at 4:30 p.m. ET on FOX Sports (live stream it on FOX Sports Go).

Army currently ranks No. 2 in the FBS in rushing yards per game, averaging 417.5 yards each contest. The Buckeyes are second in the Big Ten (No. 13 nationally) defending against the run, allowing 60.5 rushing yards per game and just one rushing touchdown so far this season. Where both teams struggle is with passing.

The Buckeyes could be the perfect Week 3 opponent for Army, which in its first two outings of the season has attempted only 10 passes with two completions. You’d expect the Black Knights to take advantage of a rather green secondary to expand their passing game.

“If the punter sees a bunch of open grass in front of him, he’s allowed to take off. If the area’s covered, he punts. Last year, SMU caught Houston in a similar circumstance and got an easy conversion. As rollout punts become more popular, so can these fakes.”

“Now, it’s not fair to put 100-percent of the blame on Barrett. But, it’s a quarterback driven game and being a three-year captain with 38 games under his belt, he needs to sometimes put the team on his back in these big games, and it just hasn’t happened in a very long time.”

Despite a Week 2 loss, several Buckeyes had career games

The team might not have come away with the win against Oklahoma, but a few players for the scarlet and gray set new standards on their stat sheets. True freshman running back J.K. Dobbins followed up his record-setting collegiate debut with his first career touchdown in Week 2. Receiver K.J. Hill tied his career-high five receptions on Saturday, and senior middle linebacker Chris Worley tied his career-high as well, with 11 tackles.

The Buckeyes should come away with the win. Let’s put it this way: If they fail to win, at home. Twice in a row. The pitchfork mob will likely descend on Columbus calling for the heads of both Urban Meyer and J.T. Barrett.
