Penn State football is 6-1 in 2022 and ranked 13th in the country. The only loss the Nittany Lions have suffered was to Michigan in Ann Arbor.

And now they are scheduled to play the No. 2 team in the country, Ohio State, at noon inside Beaver Stadium.

With a "White Out" in place last week, Penn State beat Minnesota 45-17 to set up its showdown with the Buckeyes. This week, instead of a "White Out," PSU fans are planning a "Stripe Out" with hopes that it'll have the same effect.
