Kickoff Windows Announced for Oct. 18 Games

The SEC released kickoff windows for several Oct. 18 games: Texas at Kentucky is slated as a night game to start at either 6:00 or 6:45 p.m., with the exact start time and network (SEC Network or ESPN) to be set on Oct. 11. Oklahoma’s trip to South Carolina has been slotted in an early window, with reports listing either 11:00/11:45 a.m. or 12:00/12:45 p.m. start options on ABC or the SEC Network and a final kickoff time to be announced next week. The Oklahoma–South Carolina game will be played at Williams‑Brice Stadium during the South Carolina State Fair, which officials say could affect gameday traffic and scheduling. Ohio State’s Oct. 18 game at Wisconsin is set for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff in Madison. Texas is 3-2 and playing its second night game of the season; Oklahoma is 5-0 coming off a bye and seeking to avenge last season’s 35-9 loss to South Carolina, while the Gamecocks are 3-2 and returning from a bye.
