Must read

The Buckeyes are already making Ohio State history with their first-ever December game at Ohio Stadium. Now, they’re planning to achieve another first when they face off against Tennessee.

During the game — between the third and fourth quarters — fans will be treated to a special drone show Ohio State is touting as a record-breaking event.

Ohio State tweeted a claim that the show will be the largest ever in college athletics, stating that there will be “500 (drones), to be exact.” They’ll also have the distinction of being the least mysterious drones in the news in recent weeks.

When is the Ohio State vs. Tennessee game?

The No. 8 seed Buckeyes will host the No. 9 Vols in the first round of the College Football Playoff at 8 p.m. today. The winner plays No. 1 Oregon in the CFP quarterfinals on New Year’s Day.

How to watch the game

The Ohio State vs. Tennessee game will be broadcast nationally on ABC and ESPN. Chris Fowler (play-by-play) and Kirk Herbstreit (analyst) will have the call from the booth and Holly Rowe will be the sideline reporter.

The game also can be livestreamed on the ESPN app or Fubo, the latter of which carries the ESPN family of networks and offers select users a free trial.
