How to Watch Northwestern at Penn State

Read More on NCAA

Penn State went from No. 2 in the nation to unranked in the span of two weeks, following up a double-overtime loss at home to then-No. 6 Oregon with a shocking 42-37 loss to previously winless UCLA last week. The Nittany Lions were shredded for 269 rushing yards and 42 points to a squad that had put up 57 points in its first four games. After trailing 27-7 at the half, Penn State got as close as six in the third quarter before the Bruins took an intentional safety with 17 seconds left.

Northwestern returns to conference play after a 42-7 win over visiting ULM last week. Preston Stone threw for 262 yards and three touchdowns while Caleb Komolafe ran for 75 yards and a pair of scores. The Wildcats are 1-1 in the Big Ten and have won their last two games since a 34-14 loss at Oregon on Sept. 13. The Nittany Lions, meanwhile, are 0-2 in conference action.

This is a great college football matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
