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.
Meyer was on the show as an analyst for the first two seasons, but left after the 2020 season to take the Jacksonville Jaguars head coaching job, and was replaced by former Oklahoma Sooners head coach Bob Stoops for the 2021 season. Meyer returned for the 2022 season replacing Stoops. Bush left after the 2022 season,[1] with 2009 Heisman Trophy winner running back Mark Ingram II joining the cast for the 2023 season.[2]
