Schedule for huge early college football game may have leaked
We may have some more information about when one of the biggest early games on the 2023 college football schedule will be played this fall.
Penn State is set to host long-time rival West Virginia at Happy Valley on Sept. 2, but until now we haven't had any detailed information on the actual kickoff time.
But now it appears that someone may have leaked the time of the big non-conference football matchup on social media recently.
Penn State linebacker Abdul Carter posted a picture to his Instagram with a countdown clock to the WVU game, set to 7:30 p.m. Eastern.
While we appear to know that this old rivalry game will be a primetime showcase, we still don't know what channel we'll be able to see it on.
NBC could be one option for the matchup after the network got into the Big Ten football business and scheduled to start showing the league's games this season.
The conference is opening up its new media rights deal with NBC alongside Fox and CBS in addition to the Big Ten Network. Fox will keep its traditional Big Noon game and CBS is set to maintain its 3:30 p.m. slot.
Penn State and West Virginia have not met on the football field since the 1992 season, but before then were intense regional rivals in a series that dates back to 1994.
The Nittany Lions own an extant four-game win streak in the rivalry and dominate the series against the Mountaineers overall with a 48-9-2 lead.
This year's reunion promises to be must-see TV for college football fans in what should be a raucous, white-out atmosphere at Beaver Stadium.
