By John Kampf (News-Herald.com) — Ohio State and Colorado are working to solidify an agreement to play each other in the 2011 football season.

OSU athletic director Gene Smith commented on the rumor of the two schools setting up a game.

“We are trying to finalize an agreement on a game for 2011,” Smith said. “We hope to have an announcement on that within the next month. As everyone knows, both schools are working their conference schedules for 2011.”

The Buckeyes currently have home games against Akron and Toledo, and a game at Miami (Fla.) lined up for the first three weeks of the 2011 season.

The Big Ten has added Nebraska and will include the Cornhuskers in next year’s schedule.

Colorado, meanwhile, will be part of Nebraska’s former conference, the Big 12, next year before moving to the Pac-10 in 2012.
