Ohio State will “Scarlet the Shoe” for its matchup against the Nittany Lions, too.

Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt will handle respective play-by-play and color commentary duties. The duo was also on the call for Penn State’s 30-13 victory over Illinois earlier this season.

Last season’s battle at Beaver Stadium resulted in a 44-31 come-from-behind Ohio State victory. The Nittany Lions trail 23-14 in the all-time series, and haven’t defeated the Buckeyes since 2016. Penn State also hasn’t defeated Ohio State on the road since 2011.

James Franklin’s team most recently defeated Northwestern 41-13 in Evanston, while Ryan Day’s squad edged Maryland 37-17.
