Penn State football’s November 1 matchup against Ohio State is set for a noon kickoff on FOX, the Big Ten announced Monday.

The Buckeyes have taken the last eight consecutive and last 12 of 13 matchups against the Nittany Lions, most recently with a 20-13 win in Beaver Stadium last November. Penn State only beat Ohio State once in James Franklin’s tenure, with the sole win coming in a 24-21 nail-biting upset in 2016. The all-time series now stands at 25-14 in Ohio State’s favor as the Buckeyes aim to pad their lead to a dozen.

Penn State is 3-4 and winless in Big Ten play following its 25-24 loss to Iowa on October 18. Ohio State is 7-0 following its 34-0 win over Wisconsin. The Buckeyes have firmly held the No. 1 spot in the AP Poll since week two.

Penn State will play in Columbus for the first time in two years in what should be a boisterous home crowd for the defending national champions and what was supposed to be one of the premier Big Ten matchups of the season.
