Penn State’s October 12 road matchup against USC will kick off at 3:30pm on CBS, Penn State Athletics announced this afternoon:
With the Ohio State-Oregon matchup set for prime time, the 3:30 window was the logical choice here. Penn State and USC will meet for the 11th time, with the Trojans leading the series 6-4. The Nittany Lions last defeated USC in 1996.
No. 11 USC has had a solid, but imperfect, start to the season. After a 27-20 win over current AP No. 13 LSU, the Trojans added an easy 48-0 win over Utah State before starting conference play.
