This is the Nittany Lions' second scheduled 3:30 kickoff this season.
The Nittany Lions were 1-for-16 on third down attempts.
The drop comes after the Nittany Lions' 20-12 defeat by the Buckeyes in Columbus.
Penn State's head coach went for it on 4th-and-4 in his own territory with seven minutes left in a close game.
The Nittany Lions' consistent failure to convert on third down wound up costing them one of the biggest games of the James Franklin era.
The matchup between the two top-10 teams will be televised on FOX.
