A quick look at the schedule and it hits you: No football in Happy Valley this weekend and no Penn State Football on TV. We are without a game to watch for the first time in six weeks.

Where do we turn? What do we do? Luckily for you we compiled some ideas on how to fill the football void.

Check out some other Penn State sports this weekend 

Penn State women’s hockey takes on Boston University at Pegula Ice Arena this Friday at 6 p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m.

If hockey isn’t your sport, head out to Jeffrey Field to catch Penn State men’s soccer take on Michigan State Saturday at 7 p.m. and women’s soccer vs Purdue on Sunday at 1 p.m.

The fifth-ranked Penn State field hockey team will host Maryland in a Big Ten Matchup on Sunday at 4 p.m., and the game will also feature a White Out at the Penn State field hockey complex.

Do some fall activities

It’s a beautiful time of year, and there’s so much to take advantage of in State College.

You could head to the Arboretum this weekend to check out its Pumpkin Festival. The event will take place Friday night at 6 p.m. and Saturday at 4 p.m. and will feature a Jack-O-Latern display as well as food vendors, music, and fun fall activities. It’s the perfect event to get you in that fall mood.

Want to take in the fall foliage? It’s a perfect weekend to hike Mount Nittany, take in the nature, and see the leaves changing colors before it gets too cold.

Hate the outdoors but love beer? Go on a pumpkin beer bar tour through State College.
