UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State's Homecoming clash with Minnesota is set for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff on Oct. 17 in Beaver Stadium, the third start time announced by the university.
The contest with the Golden Gophers will be an ABC regional telecast, with ESPN or ESPN2 airing it in the rest of the nation.
The Nittany Lions’ Sept. 26 Big Ten opener with Iowa previously had been announced as an 8 p.m. kickoff in Beaver Stadium on ESPN or ABC. Penn State’s Oct. 31 contest at Northwestern is set for 3:30 p.m. on ESPN or ESPN2.
The Nittany Lions and Golden Gophers will be meeting for the first time since Penn State captured a 28-27 overtime win in 2006 in Minneapolis. The Lions lead the series 6-4.
Future Penn State contests may be selected by the networks under the six-and 12-day provisions of their contracts with the Big Ten Conference.
The Nittany Lions open the season on Sept. 5 against Akron.
