For the fifth consecutive season, Penn State and Ohio State will meet under the lights on ABC, ESPN or ESPN2. The teams will square off in the annual Penn State White Out game at Beaver Stadium at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22.
The Nittany Lions and Buckeyes havemet every year since Penn State began Big Ten competition in 1993.
The last time the teams met in Beaver Stadium, a Penn State Whiteout crowd of 107,895 watched a double overtime game with Ohio State claiming a 31-24 win. Wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton caught a Penn State-record 14 passes for 126 yards to lead the offensive effort. Mike Hull tallied a career-high 19 tackles, including 2.5 for a loss, and Brandon Bell added 13 stops to pace the defense.
Penn State will play at least one regular season night game for the 17th consecutive season. Every Penn State football game has been televised the past 11 seasons and 275 of the last 277 contests overall have been on TV.
In addition to airing on the ABC/ESPN family of networks, the game will also be available on the Penn State Sports Network and GoPSUsports.com. Additional Penn State kick times will be announced later this spring.
