: Penn State previously planned on facing No. 7 Michigan that night, but a university-wide athletics pause for the Wolverines derailed that matchup.
The Nittany Lions’ matchup with Ohio State was previously postponed due to positive COVID-19 tests within Penn State’s program.
Penn State (5-6, 2-5 Big Ten) is coming off two straight wins over Rutgers and Northwestern. A third straight victory over the nationally-ranked Buckeyes would bring them to .500 for the first time since December 23.
