Penn State's October 21 showdown against Ohio State in Columbus will officially be a noon kickoff and be Fox's Big Noon Kickoff game for week 8.
The Nittany Lions and Buckeyes are both undefeated heading into week seven. The Nittany Lions are 5-0 and are coming off their bye week for the season while Ohio State outlasted Maryland 37-17 thanks to scoring 27 points in the second half.
This will be the second time that Penn State is Fox's top game of the week. The Nittany Lions were also featured as Fox's top game earlier this season in a 30-13 win over the Illinois Fighting Illini.
Penn State is looking to snap a six-game losing streak to the Buckeyes. Ohio State has won each matchup since the Nittany Lions upset the Buckeyes 24-21 on October 22, 2016. The Nittany Lions have beaten the Buckeyes just twice since 2010 and have lost 23 of 37 matchups to Ohio State all time.
Penn State has been featured on Fox's Big Noon Kickoff show six times since the show's inception in 2019. The Nittany Lions are 2-4 in those six games. Their matchup against Illinois earlier this year was the network's top game, however, the pregame show was broadcasted from Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado for Colorado and Colorado State's rivalry game instead. The Nittany Lions and Michigan Wolverines matchup on November 11 is also set to be a Big Noon Kickoff game.
