By PSR Staff | Mon, 11/08/2010 - 12:24
Penn State’s Big Ten clash with Indiana on Saturday, Nov. 20 at FedExField in Landover, Md., has been set for a 12:00 p.m. ET kick. The Nittany Lions will be playing in metropolitan Washington, D.C. for the first time since 1993.
The Big Ten Network will televise the conference contest to a national audience. The game also will air on the Penn State Sports Network and www.GoPSUsports.com. The contest is the Nittany Lions’ 11th announced start time this season. The kick time and television network for Penn State’s Nov. 27 Senior Day clash with No. 10 Michigan State in Beaver Stadium most likely will not be announced until Sunday, Nov. 21. Penn State has appeared on TV in 199 of its last 201 games.
Penn State will be making its third appearance of the season on the Big Ten Network and seventh appearance on the network over the past two seasons.
The Big Ten Network is available in approximately 75 million homes in the United States and Canada on DirecTV, Dish Network, Verizon FiOS, AT&T U-Verse and 300 cable providers, including Atlantic Broadband, Cablevision, CATV Service, Comcast, Consolidated Communications, Kuhn Communications, Nittany Media, RCN, Service Electric, Shen-Heights TV and Time-Warner in Pennsylvania.
Armstrong, Blue Ridge, Adams and MetroCast Cable, though, do not carry the Big Ten Network in Pennsylvania. More than 35,000 Penn State alumni live in the communities served by the four cable providers in Pennsylvania and the Youngstown, Ohio area.
This Saturday’s game at No. 8/7 Ohio State will be an ABC regional telecast at 3:30 p.m., airing nationally on ESPN outside the ABC coverage area. Penn State will take a three-game winning streak to Columbus, rallying from a 21-0 deficit to beat Northwestern, 35-21, for Joe Paterno’s 400th career victory last Saturday. ESPN College GameDay will originate from the PSU-OSU game Saturday morning.
Paterno’s squad beat Indiana, 31-20, last year to take a 13-0 lead in the series. The Hoosiers visit Wisconsin this Saturday before meeting the Nittany Lions.
The purchase of all tickets for the game at FedExField benefits a great cause. Starting October 1, the NFL's Washington Redskins began to generously donate five percent of ticket sales generated for the Penn State vs. Indiana game (up to a maximum of $150,000) to Penn State's Dance Marathon. THON, the nation's largest student-run philanthropic event, benefits The Four Diamonds Fund and pediatric cancer research at the Hershey Medical Center.
Tickets for the PSU-IU game, as well as a limited number of tickets for Penn State’s home game with Michigan State (Nov. 27) are available at www.GoPSUsports.com or by calling 814-865-5555 weekdays from 10 a.m-6 p.m Tickets also are available at the Bryce Jordan Center Ticket office.
