Penn State schedule: Is Penn State playing today? 

Is Penn State playing today? Here’s a look at the schedule and the games to come. 

Penn State will continue its journey to a possible spot in the College Football Playoff on Saturday afternoon in West Lafayette, Indiana when it faces the Purdue Boilermakers in Big Ten action this afternoon. All indications are this should be a virtual walkthrough for the Nittany Lions as they play the first of back-to-back road games in November.

Penn State won at home in a primetime game against Washington in front of a whiteout crowd last weekend. The 35-6 win was the perfect rebound win after taking its first loss of the season the previous week, and the win helped keep Penn State firmly among the top-ranked teams in the country according to the College Football Playoff selection committee. Penn State remains on course to potentially host a first-round playoff game in December but will likely have to win its final remaining games in the regular season to do so.

That work begins this afternoon with its road game at Purdue. You can watch the game at 3:30 p.m. on CBS, and Penn State is a massive favorite in West Lafayette, Indiana.

Penn State has dominated the all-time series with Purdue, with the majority of the meetings coming once the Nittany Lions joined the Big Ten. The Boilermakers should be no real test for Penn State with just one win this season, but Penn State cannot afford to take anything for granted with the selection committee watching closely in the final weeks of the season.

Here is a look at Penn State’s 2024 schedule with all results so far, and what games remain in the regular season.
