Penn State Football: Nittany Lions Set For 3:30 Kick Against Rutgers

No. 9 Penn State football’s final game of the regular season against Rutgers will kick off at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 30, Penn State Athletics announced on Twitter Monday morning.

Unlike the majority of Penn State’s games so far this season, the Nittany Lions’ clash against the Scarlet Knights will air on Big Ten Network. James Franklin’s program was last featured on the network when it took on Idaho to open the 2019 season, while its most recent games have been broadcast on ABC, ESPN, and Fox Sports. 

The game will also honor Penn State’s senior class, which features program standouts such as Garrett Taylor, Antonio Shelton, and Jan Johnson, prior to kickoff. The Nittany Lions’ game against the Scarlet Knights also doubles as Educator Appreciation Day. Parents and teachers interested in receiving discounted tickets and can sign up here.

Parents and families are also invited to a special tailgate ahead of the match-up on Nov. 30. As part of a special ticket package, guests are invited to an all-you-can-eat tailgate and open-skate event at Pegula Ice Arena ahead of kickoff. 

Before Penn State takes on Rutgers, it will head to Columbus this weekend for a highly anticipated showdown against No. 2 Ohio State on Saturday, Nov. 23. Kickoff against the Buckeyes is set for noon.
