Penn State’s season opener at MetLife Stadium against Syracuse on August 31 has been set for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff.

Announced today, this brings the total number of known kickoff times for the upcoming season to four.

The game will be aired on ABC and ESPN 2. It will be the first time the two teams have met since 2009, where Penn State defeated Syracuse 28-7 at Beaver Stadium.

Penn State’s other announced kick times are all primetime games against UCF and Michigan at home, and Ohio State away.

The home opener against Eastern Michigan’s kickoff time will be announced later this month.
