Gameday Coverage: Penn State vs. Michigan

Penn State is set to face Michigan in the Big House for the first time since 2009. The Nittany Lions (4-1) come into the game off their first loss, a 29-6 debacle against Northwestern. Michigan (2-4) is on a three-game losing streak after dropping games against Utah, Minnesota, and Rutgers.

This will be the first ever Big Ten night game in Michigan Stadium. The Wolverines have only played “Under the Lights” twice at home in their 135 year history — two wins against Notre Dame, in 2011 and 2013.

Penn State hasn’t lost to Michigan since Sept. 22, 2007.

Below is all of the media information you’ll need for Saturday’s game:

Kickoff: 7 p.m. Eastern time.

Television: ESPN2 — Mark Jones, Rod Gilmore and Jessica Mendoza.

Radio: Penn State Sports Network — Steve Jones, Jack Ham, and Loren Crispell. Local: 93.7 FM, and 1450 AM. Sirius: Ch. 84. XM: Ch. 84

Weather: It’ll be chilly for the first time this year, as the temperature around kickoff will be around 49 degrees. The temperature will drop to around 40 degrees by the time the game is over. There’s 0% chance of precipitation.

Last Time They Met:

This.

Injuries: Miles Dieffenbach (knee), Adam Breneman (knee), and Ben Kline (Achilles) are all out for the year for the Nittany Lions. Nyeem Wartman sat out last game with an arm injury, but is listed as the starter on this week’s depth chart and looks to be ready to play.
