Penn State football vs Ohio State: Channel, Time, TV Schedule for Week 8

Don't miss the highly anticipated matchup between Penn State and Ohio State, two undefeated teams in the Big Ten. Catch it on Fox!

In the midst of an exhilarating 2023 college football season, the Big Ten has witnessed the rise of three national championship contenders. With a flawless record of 6-0, No. 6 Penn State is about to face its most formidable challenge yet as it goes head-to-head against No. 3 Ohio State at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.

This clash between two top-10 teams holds immense significance not only for the Big Ten championship but also for the College Football Playoff race. Both the Nittany Lions and the Buckeyes are among the elite eight remaining Power Five teams with undefeated records entering Week 8.

Unfortunately for Penn State, recent history has not been in their favor when facing Ohio State. The Buckeyes have emerged victorious in the last six encounters and have secured 10 out of the last 11 wins against the Nittany Lions. Penn State's only triumph in this streak of defeats came in 2016 in State College. Interestingly, the Nittany Lions' first two losses in this six-game skid against the Buckeyes were by a mere one point each, and none of the six defeats were decided by more than 13 points, including last season's 44-31 setback.

Penn State has encountered minimal resistance this season, boasting an average margin of victory of 36.3 points and only one game decided by fewer than 23 points. The Nittany Lions possess the second-best scoring defense in all of FBS, allowing a mere eight points per game, and they lead the nation in total defense, conceding just 193.7 yards per game. Their mission is to stifle an Ohio State offense that has failed to meet the lofty standards it set over the past decade, currently ranking 20th in scoring offense with an average of 36 points per game.
