Big Noon Kickoff: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Big Noon Kickoff is an American college football studio show broadcast by Fox, and simulcast on sister network Fox Sports 1 (FS1). Premiering on August 31, 2019, it serves as the pre-game show for Fox College Football, and in particular, Big Noon Saturday—the network's weekly 12:00 p.m ET/9:00 a.m PT kickoff window.

It is hosted by Rob Stone, and features former national champion and 2004 Heisman Trophy winning USC Trojans quarterback Matt Leinart, former national champion and 2009 Heisman Trophy winning Alabama running back Mark Ingram II, former Notre Dame Fighting Irish quarterback Brady Quinn, and former Bowling Green, Utah, Florida, and Ohio State coach Urban Meyer as panelists, with Bruce Feldman acting as Fox's CFB insider, as well as Tom Verducci, who usually does baseball for Fox, and Tom Rinaldi, both working on feature reports. Radio host Clay Travis serves as a contributor, and 1997 Heisman Trophy winner and former Michigan Wolverines cornerback Charles Woodson will also join the show on select weeks, most notably if Michigan is featured.
