Penn State Football: Auburn Game Set for 7:30 Kick at Beaver Stadium

For Penn State is will be the 191st all-time appearance on ABC, the Nittany Lions are 110-78-1 all-time record in games broadcasted by ABC. The contest also marks the 22nd consecutive season Penn State will play at least one regular season night game with 308 of its last 310 games being on TV., including every game in the last 17 seasons.
