Penn State announces White Out, other theme games for 2023 football season
Penn State announced its annual White Out on Monday afternoon and it will once again be a night game.
The Nittany Lions’ matchup with the Iowa Hawkeyes on Sept. 23 will be this year’s iteration of the game. It is set to kick off at 8 p.m. and will be aired on CBS. The game will be Penn State’s first home Big Ten matchup of the season.
The White Out wasn’t the only theme game announced Monday. The program announced its themes for all seven home games this year. The contest against West Virginia will be a “helmet stripe” game, where most of the stadium wears white, but one area on each sideline will wear blue to make the crowd look like the team’s helmet. That game will kick off at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 2 on NBC and will be the team’s season opener.
One other stadium-wide color theme will take place Nov. 11 when the Nittany Lions take on the Michigan Wolverines. The program will have a “stripe out” game with each section alternating blue and white. A time and broadcast network have not been announced for that game.
Here are all seven themes for Penn State’s home games this season.
Sept. 2 vs. West Virginia — White Out (7:30 p.m., NBC)
Sept. 9 vs. Delaware — Thon game (TBD)
Sept. 23 vs. Iowa — White Out (8 p.m., CBS)
Oct. 14 vs. UMass — Homecoming (TBD)
Oct. 28 vs. Indiana — Military Appreciation (TBD)
Nov. 11 vs. Michigan — Stripe Out (TBD)
Nov. 18 vs. Rutgers — Senior Day (TBD)
