When is Penn State’s White Out game in 2022? That and more theme games for the Nittany Lions
Penn State announced its theme games for the 2022 football season Wednesday afternoon, including its White Out game.
The Nittany Lions will take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Oct. 22 in the White Out, in a game that will also serve as homecoming at Beaver Stadium and the yearly “Generations of Greatness” game — featuring Penn State’s alternate uniforms. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. for the game.
The White Out was one of seven theme games announced by the program in a video on its Twitter account.
One of the other key games announced was the Stripe Out game against Ohio State on Oct. 29. The game against the Buckeyes will be the first with fans at Beaver Stadium that isn’t a White Out since 2009 when the program chose Iowa for the yearly game.
This year’s game against the Buckeyes does not have a scheduled kickoff, but it is not expected to be a night game.
The Nittany Lions will also honor the 1982 National Championship team on Sept. 24 when they take on Central Michigan. Members of the team will be honored on the field during a special ceremony.
