And ESPN+ is subject to blackout, which means you get to pay to maybe not watch what you want (a real minus):

Blackouts. Certain live sporting events and other content available through the ESPN+ service subscription may be subject to blackouts. For example, if you are in the home television territory of a team participating in a game, then the game may be blacked-out for viewing or live viewing as part of your ESPN+ service subscription (or other applicable third-party service). Blackouts will be enforced according to the location from which you are accessing the ESPN+ service or the applicable third-party services, and we may use different technologies and methods to verify your geographic location. If you do not enable location access on your device, you will not be able to access the ESPN+ service.

Subscriptions to third-party products and services that you purchase or access through your ESPN+ service subscription will also be subject to specific blackout policies of the applicable sports leagues (e.g., Major League Baseball or the National Hockey League). Such policies may be made available or communicated to you in connection with your purchases of league-specific content. The blackout policies for services available via ESPN+ are available in the FAQs.

Okay I wasn't even aware of that. That's bullshit.

Since this is the first game ever between Ohio and Howard, the game is interesting for another reason, that no one has mentioned. OCF has done a great deal of research on the subject however, and has been trying with very limited success to bring it to peoples' attention. Ask the question, "Who was the first black qb to play for a major college team?", and no one knows the answer. One suggestion is that perhaps the answer is Robert Robertson, who played for the University of Oregon in 1927.

Another possible answer is Charles West, who played for Washington & Lee in the 1922 Rose Bowl:

In fact, much earlier, in 1903, Arthur Carr was the QB for Ohio. After Ohio, he went on to Howard Medical School, and later taught at Howard. Even there, the ties between Carr and Ohio Football don't end. Carr's family donated to the University the land on which Peden was built. I wish OCF would post some of his research here. I do have a photo of the 1903 team that OCF sent me, but I have to figure out how to post it. Perhaps one of the admins can PM me, and I can send it to them for them to post.

Edit - OCF just let me know that he has at long last had some success (he has been working on this for over a year), and this story will be covered by the Athens News, and perhaps by the Southeast Ohio History Center.
 

Did I see the point spread correctly? We are 43 point favorites?
