Penn State returns to the television airwaves and continues Big Ten play this Saturday with its first contest of November. The Nittany Lions (3-4) travel to No. 1 Ohio State this weekend with hopes of pulling off a massive upset. Head coach Ryan Day’s team is undefeated and in prime position to earn a spot in the conference title game. A win over the struggling Nittany Lions, who lost two weeks ago at Iowa on Peacock, would only help matters for the Buckeyes, who exit an off week, as well.

“They really have a nothing-to-lose mentality,” Day said this week. “So we have to be on high alert at all times for things. They have two weeks to put together different things on offense, defense, and special teams that they haven’t put on film. We know that. And certainly, when you have a coaching change like they did, we expect that. 

“So you have to expect the unexpected, be on high alert, know that they sort of have that mentality going into the game. And so all of those things matter.”
