CENTRAL FLORIDA — Nothing says Labor Day weekend like the return of college football -- and some of the action will happen right here in Central Florida.
It's week one of college football season and Channel 9 is the place to catch all the action!
From the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff in Mercedes-Benz Stadium to a pair of top 25 showdowns, here are the games airing on Channel 9 this Labor Day weekend.
The Beavers and the Buckeyes face off at Ohio Stadium. It'll be the first time new head coach Jonathan Smith appears on the sidelines for Oregon State. Meanwhile, Ohio State comes off its sixth straight season with 10 wins or more.
The bigger story: Ohio State coach Urban Meyer won't be on the sidelines Saturday. He was suspended for the first three games of the season after a report surfaced that he knew about allegations against former assistance coach Zach Smith and abuse against his wife.
