The game time and TV broadcast information was just announced today, and the Terps play another Noon game on Saturday in Happy Valley. Penn State is coming off of a double-overtime loss to Ohio State at home last week. Christian Hackenburg is one of the best quarterbacks in the country, but the Nittany Lions have struggled to get a run game going this season. That portion of their game took a massive hit last week as well, as starting RB Zach Zwinak injured his left leg and was carted off of the field. The severity of his injury is unknown.
Penn State's record on the season so far is 4-3 (1-3 Big Ten Conference). The Nittany Lions have lost 3 straight games: vs. Northwestern, @ Michigan, and vs. Ohio State. Their wins include vs. UCF (in Dublin), vs. Akron, @ Rutgers, and vs. Massachusetts. Their only convincing win came over UMass, who they beat 48-7.
