It’s been known for months that college football stadiums would be limited in capacity this season, but that didn’t stop Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler from getting nostalgic about Penn State’s past White Outs vs Ohio State.
The duo mentioned the lack of a White Out several times in the first half, to the point that fans started to get agitated with them.
Ohio State jumping out to a 21-3 lead didn’t help matters, either.
Here’s some of the reaction from Twitter on the consistent references to past White Out games:
ESPN is really obsessed with penn state’s “whiteout”. It’s not a great look.

Ohio State can tie Indiana for first place in the Big Ten East with a victory over Penn State. The Nittany Lions are 0-1 on the season after a controversial loss to the Hoosiers in Week 1.
