"Oh, What a Night"

In a not-so-surprising news, this upcoming season's Penn State-Iowa game on Sept. 26 is set for 8 p.m.

It marks the second straight season the Nittany Lions open up conference play with a primetime home game. Last season, PSU beat Illinois, 38-24 in front of a "White House."

Although it is not yet known if the game will be shown on ESPN or ABC, the Lions will be looking to avenge its only Big Ten setback last season. In Iowa City last fall, Penn State's national championship hopes ended with a 24-23 loss.

It has also been announced Penn State's road game against Northwestern on Oct. 31 will be played at 4:30 p.m. ET and will be on either ESPN or ESPN 2.

Penn State has not played the Wildcats since 2006, when the Lions won, 33-7.

Matt Fortuna is a sophomore majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Collegian. He has previously covered the men's tennis, soccer and basketball teams. A traditionalist, he would like nothing more than to see Joe Paterno throw it back to his Brooklyn days and install the single-wing offense this season.

Nate Mink is a sophomore majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Daily Collegian and a 5-foot-10 sesquipedalian from Allentown who has tried to grow facial hair for 20 years. Sadly, he has been unsuccessful thus far. He is anxious to get a new driver's license in September and hopes the bartenders at Zanzibar in Ann Arbor believe he's 21.
