(BLOOMINGTON, IN) - IU and Ohio State will kick off the 2017 college football season on Thursday, August 31.
Both schools agreed to move the game up from its original scheduled date of Saturday, September 2.
"Opening the season on a Thursday night against a great Big Ten opponent is quite an opportunity for our program," IU athletic director Fred Glass said in a press release. "The atmosphere at Memorial Stadium will be electric as we usher in the 2017 season under the lights against the Buckeyes."
It'll be the fifth time Indiana has opened their season against Ohio State and the first ever in Bloomington.
