Nebraska vs PSU kickoff time...

Hey, im hearing its gonna be a 0900 CT kickoff on Fox PPV.

Fox executives are extremely excited about this.

NBC night game is my best guess
For the sake of my Husker brethren, I hope not. Pedo fans are insufferable enough as it is and a night game just allows them to go in heavily juiced and frothing at the mouth...just ask anyone that attended a night game in Miserable Valley, they're vile creatures to deal with after dark.
 
Based on Big Ten TV patterns, late-November matchups, and the fact that Penn State–Nebraska is a high-interest draw, the most likely kickoff time is:


Predicted Kickoff: 3:30 PM ET / 2:30 PM CT


Why this time?​


  • The Big Ten typically puts one of its top games of the week in the 3:30 ET window.
  • Penn State home games land in that slot more often than the 11 AM CT window.
  • Nebraska vs. Penn State is strong enough to avoid the early “FS1/BTN” slot but not always pushed to prime time unless both teams are ranked.
  • November cold-weather games in State College more often land in the afternoon than the night window.

Alternate possibilities:​


  • Early window: 12 PM ET / 11 AM CT — possible but less likely.
  • Night game: 7 PM ET / 6 PM CT — possible only if both teams enter that week on a hot streak.

Here’s the weather forecast for Penn State Nittany Lions vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers in State College, PA on Nov 22:
  • Early in the day: Cloudy, with temps around 45-47 °F (7-9 °C) midday.
  • Showers expected, especially during the afternoon and into early evening. Rain chances increase as the game progresses.
  • Later: Temps drop toward 40-43 °F (4-6 °C), with continued cloud cover and periodic rain/showers.
 
NBC night game is my best guess

If Fox decides to air USC @ Oregon in a very late window (10 EST) then I could see the league moving Nebraska at Penn State to the NBC slot.

However, if that's not the case, then the Big Ten would be wasting a massive opportunity to showcase a high profile West Coast game in prime time.

While I'm aware their 12 EST slot is their perceived cash cow, it's also not available on the West Coast.

Lastly, the Networks have to be fuming about Penn State and Wisconsin being a combined 1 - 11 in the conference. Those are two massive products that have really hurt viewership this season.
