Penn State football’s September 6 matchup against FIU is set for a noon kickoff on the Big Ten Network, the conference announced Thursday.

The two programs met for the first and only time in series history in 2007, where the Nittany Lions dismantled the Panthers 59-0 in Beaver Stadium. Despite this, FIU is still the most recent Conference USA opponent Penn State has faced, with the next closest being a 49-17 win over Louisiana Tech in 2002.

Penn State will have the chance to remain perfect against the Panthers in the Week 2 matchup in Beaver Stadium.
