When Ohio State travels to Penn State on Sept. 29, the Buckeyes will face what head coach Urban Meyer has called "one of the top five atmospheres in college football."

The Nittany Lions are encouraging all 106,572 fans to "White Out" Beaver Stadium for what will certainly be their biggest home game of the season. 

Penn State is 7-7 all time when hosting a "White Out," including 2-2 against Ohio State. The programs have alternated wins in such conditions, with the Nittany Lions last getting the best of the Buckeyes in 2016, 24-21.
