Kickoff times announced for 3 Penn State football games, including season opener

The Big Ten announced three kickoff times for Penn State football Thursday afternoon after the Nittany Lions announced one Wednesday morning.

The Nittany Lions will play the Purdue Boilermakers on the road Sept. 1 — a Thursday — at 8 p.m. in their season opener, which will air on Fox. They’ll then take on the Ohio Bobcats at noon Sept. 10, which will air on ABC.

Their homecoming game — an Oct. 22 matchup with the Minnesota Golden Gophers — will kick off at 7:30 p.m and air on a to be determined network.

The three announcements come just over 24 hours after it was announced they’ll play the Auburn Tigers at 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 17. That game will air on CBS, the first time Penn State has played on the network in 22 years.

Those four games are the only ones of the NIttany Lions’ 12 that have a scheduled kickoff time.
