While Penn State football enjoys a bye week for the second time this season in Week 8, following a thrilling Week 7 win over USC, the Nittany Lions and their Week 9 opponent, the Wisconsin Badgers, have learned their kickoff time.

The Nittany Lions and Badgers will face off in primetime at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin, with a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff. The game will be televised nationally on NBC as the network's weekly Big Ten Saturday Night game of the week.

The Nittany Lions will likely enter the game as the No. 3 team in the country after defeating USC this past weekend, improving to 6-0 on the season. In the latest polls ahead of Week 8 of the college football season, the Nittany Lions are ranked behind only No. 1 Texas and No. 2 Oregon.

Wisconsin was written off by some after back-to-back losses to Alabama and USC but has won their last two games in impressive fashion, defeating Purdue 52-6 and Rutgers 42-7 over the last two weeks. This weekend, the Badgers, now 4-2 on the season and 2-1 in conference play, will take on the 3-3 Northwestern Wildcats.

The October 26 matchup at Camp Randall will be the 21st meeting between Penn State and Wisconsin. The Nittany Lions are 11-9 all-time and have won each of their last five games against the Badgers, including 3-0 under head coach James Franklin.
