The Michigan-Penn State rivalry will be renewed on November 11 this year and Fox will be going all out to make it a spectacle.
According to Brett McMurphy of The Action Network, Michigan at Penn State will be Fox’s Big Noon kickoff, meaning it will kick off at noon locally.
Some fans are disappointed (to put it lightly) that the game isn’t going to get a primetime slot. No small argument has been raging on social media over whether the Big Ten is sacrificing November primetime games out of concerns over the cold weather.

“it rocks that fox decided to make its high-profile game slot noon, thereby taking the air out of the biggest games it gets on its network. i find that very sick,” one user replied sarcastically.
“That should be a night game in prime time,” another said more bluntly.
“TV execs rigged this season for Michigan to win a natty god bless them,” a Michigan fan wrote.
“I feel like noon is our standard kickoff time!! And usually always on Fox like we are a regularly scheduled program!” wrote another Michigan fan.
Michigan have won the rivalry game two years in a row. Can they make it three or will Penn State end the streak?
