Change your alarms for the Michigan State-Penn State kickoff time this weekend. The two teams will be playing earlier than previously scheduled.

Saturday’s regular season finale will have a 12 p.m. ET kickoff time, which was previously set for 3:30 p.m. The game will air on ABC instead of ESPN, as well. Changes come with both Ohio State-Michigan and Purdue-Indiana being called off due to COVID-19 related issues.

Both Michigan State and Penn State have won two games this season, though its the Nittany Lions who come into this one hot. Penn State has defeated Michigan and Rutgers in back-to-back weeks and is looking to make it three-straight victorys to improve to 3-5.

Michigan State was blasted by Ohio State last weekend but the Spartans have been surprising at times this season. Mel Tucker’s bunch defeated Michigan in the second week of the season and handed a ranked Northwestern team its only loss of the year in November.

Saturday marks the final day of the B1G’s “regular season” before closing out the year next weekend with the B1G Championship Game and “Champions Week.”
