Gameday Coverage: No. 10 Penn State vs. No. 3 Michigan

Penn State football’s season comes down to this.

The No. 10 Nittany Lions will host the No. 3 Michigan Wolverines at noon on Saturday, November 11, at Beaver Stadium in the annual Stripe Out. It’s one of the biggest Penn State home games in recent memory, with hopes of a Big Ten title and a trip to the College Football Playoff riding on the showdown.

Whether you’re going to the game or not, there are plenty of ways to keep up with the heavily anticipated showdown between these two giants.

Penn State is on FOX for the fourth time this season and is getting the network’s primary crew for the third time this season.
