This will be Penn State’s second game of the season on the Big Ten Network, after the Nittany Lions’ latest win over Northwestern aired on the same network. While none of Penn State’s six regular season games beyond UMass have been assigned to the Big Ten Network, only the Michigan and Michigan State matchups have been assigned broadcasters.

The Nittany Lions’ matchup against UMass will also come at the end of Penn State’s Homecoming Week, which is set to run from Sunday, October 8, through Saturday, October 14.
