Start planning your tailgates now, Penn State fans.

The Big Ten Network announced two more kick times for the 2016 season this afternoon. The Nittany Lions’ opener against Kent State will mercifully start at 3:30 on September 3, and the revenge game/Stripe Out vs. Temple will kick off at noon on September 17. Both games will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network.

With these announcements, kick times are set for more than half of Penn State’s schedule. Penn State’s first away game vs. Pitt kicks off at noon on the ESPN family of networks, the Homecoming matchup vs. Maryland also starts at noon, and the three games vs. Ohio State, Iowa, and Rutgers will all kick off in primetime.

Only seven days until students buy their tickets, and 82 days until kickoff!
