The Buckeyes’ next road game officially has a set kickoff time.
No. 4 Ohio State’s Nov. 2 matchup against the No. 3 Penn State Nittany Lions will be a noon kickoff, the Ohio State athletic department announced Monday.
The Buckeyes have defeated the Nittany Lions in each of their last seven encounters, most recently claiming a 20-12 victory in The Shoe Oct. 21, 2023.
In their most recent game, the Buckeyes suffered a 32-31 defeat in the closing seconds against the now-No. 1 Oregon Ducks at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon.
But before an expected top-five matchup at Penn State, the Buckeyes will take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers at noon on Saturday at Ohio Stadium.
