Penn State’s next game is a big one. It is arguably the game of the year for the Nittany Lions and the biggest litmus test for where this team stands on the national stage. And they will get the national spotlight in a big way in Week 10 when Penn State hosts Ohio State.
Penn State’s contest with Ohio State was previously locked in for a noon eastern kickoff on Fox, so it was only a matter of time before the inevitable follow-up news was confirmed. Fox finalized the details by announcing its traveling road show, the Big Noon Kickoff pregame show, will be broadcasting live from State College ahead of next week’s mega contest with Penn State and Ohio State.
The Fox pregame show doesn’t always air from the site of the network’s headliner early kickoff game, although it does far more often than not. This was widely expected to continue for next week’s game in Happy Valley.
And the Fox pregame show will not be the only one in town. ESPN has also announced its pregame show, College GameDay is making its way from Bloomington, Indiana this past weekend to State College this week. This will be the 10th time College GameDay has come to Happy Valley in the show’s history.
It should be a big stage for Penn State as they look to get past an Ohio State team that has caused the Nittany Lions so many frustrations over the years. Penn State is a home underdog according to the early line this week.
