Penn State football takes on Michigan State on the road on Saturday, Nov. 15 with kickoff slated for 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS. The game can also be streamed on Paramount+.
One team in East Lansing is coming out with its first Big Ten win of the season. Both the Nittany Lions and Spartans hold 3-6 overall records and 0-6 conference records. Unlike Michigan State, this trajectory of the 2025 season was unexpected for Penn State. For the Spartans, it was a disappointing reality they and head coach Jonathan Smith faced after hoping for a better season than 2024 where they finished 3-6 in the Big Ten.
