USC scheduled to visit Penn State for Big Ten matchup
USC was scheduled to visit Penn State on Saturday, October 10, for a Big Ten football game at Beaver Stadium, with kickoff listed for 7:30 p.m. ET. The supplied reports are pregame coverage and do not establish a final score or whether the game took place as scheduled. The matchup was slated to air on NBC, with Peacock and online streaming services also listed as viewing options. The same kickoff was given as 6:30 p.m. CT and 4:30 p.m. PDT. Several streaming providers advertised free trials, while Peacock was identified as a subscription option. USC entered the scheduled game at 5-1 and ranked No. 19, while Penn State was 3-2. The Trojans were coming off a 25-21 win over Washington, and Penn State had lost two consecutive games. One preview described Penn State as a 1.5-point favorite, despite USC’s better record and ranking. The buildup focused on how USC would handle the road environment and improve its discipline. A preview expected a White Out crowd of more than 109,000, but that was an estimate, not a reported attendance figure.
