On Sunday, ESPN announced it would air “College GameDay” on Saturday from Beaver Stadium for the Iowa/Penn State game in State College, Pa. This was then confirmed in a release sent out by the Penn State athletics department.

The show, which features ESPN personalities Chris Fowler, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, and Desmond Howard, will be shot from outside Beaver Stadium. “College GameDay” is on ESPN every Saturday morning from 9-11 a.m. Central time.

This marks the fourth time “College GameDay” comes to an Iowa football game, and it’s the first occurrence when the Hawkeyes aren’t playing Ohio State.

ESPN took its show to Iowa City twice in 1996 and 2006 for home games against the Buckeyes, and it was in Columbus in 1997 when the two teams faced each other.

Iowa’s game with Penn State will air on ABC later that evening at 7 p.m. The Hawkeyes upset the Nittany Lions in last year’s meeting at Kinnick Stadium, 24-23.
