Mark your calendars. One of the biggest games on the B1G schedule now has a kickoff time.
No. 5 Iowa and No. 6 Penn State will kick off at 3 p.m. CT on Oct. 9, FOX announced Saturday. The game was announced as a sellout earlier this month. Now, the 70,000 or so fans know when they’ll need to be at Kinnick Stadium.

FOX also announced Big Noon Kickoff will be in Iowa City for the Top-10 showdown. The hype surrounding the game is sure to increase, especially with both teams playing well right now.
Penn State leads the all-time series 17-13, but Iowa won last year’s matchup 41-21 at Beaver Stadium. With both teams ranked in the top 10 this time around, it’s safe to expect a closer game than last season.
You’ve got two weeks to get ready.
