Undefeated Penn State looks to extend their winning streak when they meet Illinois for the first time since their overtime classic in 2021.

This weekend's college football on FOX: No.7 Penn State hits the road to battle division rival Illinois

The action begins at 10 a.m. ET with Big Noon Kickoff followed by No. 7 Penn State vs. Illinois at noon ET, and at 4 p.m. ET, Western Kentucky takes on No. 6 Ohio State, and in primetime, TCU faces Houston at 8 p.m. ET in a battle of Texas rivals. Penn State will play in a hostile environment for the first time Saturday, opening its Big Ten season on the road at Illinois.

Illinois will have their hands full on the defensive as the unit tries to contain Penn State sophomore quarterback Drew Allar, who has completed 43 of 55 passes for 529 yards and four touchdowns, a 78% completion rate, according to the Associated Press. When these teams met in 2021, it took nine overtimes to decide the winner of the last Penn State-Illinois game. The Illini won 20-18 at No. 7 Penn State in the longest game in college football history, the AP noted. Ohio State is trying to get the kinks out of their offense before their Sept. 25 collision with No. 9 Notre Dame at South Bend. The Buckeyes have a new starting quarterback and three new starters on the offensive linemen.
