Night games at Ohio Stadium bring with them a certain excitement and energy. There’s something about being under the lights that makes anything seem possible (including upsets, which keeps you on your toes).
With Saturday’s upcoming matchup against No. 20 Penn State, we here at Land-Grant Holy Land thought it would be fun to look back at the history of night games between the Buckeyes and the Nittany Lions.
Prior to 2014, night games at Ohio Stadium were rare, as the lights were not permanent fixtures until that year’s renovations.
And while Ohio State and Penn State have faced off in 10 night games since PSU joined the Big Ten — with the Buckeyes winning seven of those contests — only three of those games have been at Ohio Stadium.
