All four of the state’s FBS schools will see football action on Saturday:

Head Coach Mike Neu’s Ball State Cardinals face 11th-ranked Penn State in Happy Valley at 3:30 p.m. on FS1.

Penn State isn’t taking the reigning MAC champs lightly.  Ball State is bringing 20 returning starters riding an eight-game winning streak, with two against Top 25 teams, to Beaver Stadium. The capacity 106,000-plus venue is expected to be packed for the first time since COVID-19 forced fans to watch last season from home.

Penn State is favored by three-touchdowns.  Both teams are 1-and-0 on the season.

Elsewhere:

  • #8 Notre Dame welcome’s the MAC’s Toledo Rockets for a 2:30 p.m. kickoff on Peacock – the NBC streaming service.
  • Purdue visits Connecticut for a 3:00 p.m. showdown on the CBS Sports Network.
  • And Indiana returns to Memorial Stadium to take on Idaho for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff on the Big Ten Network.
