This year marks the 16th consecutive season College GameDay Built by the Home Depot is originating from the site of the day’s best game. College GameDay airs every Saturday at 10:00 a.m. during the football season. Fowler, Corso and Herbstreit are in their 14th season together on College GameDay.
Saturday’s broadcast marks the third time College GameDay has originated from Penn State in the past five seasons and the fifth time overall. College GameDay was in Happy Valley for the 2005 and 2007 Ohio State contests, as well as the 1999 Pigskin Classic against Arizona and the 1997 game against Michigan.
In addition, College GameDay has originated from Penn State’s games at Michigan State (2005) and Ohio State (2008) during the past five seasons, with the Nittany Lions winning the Big Ten Championship and a BCS berth both years.
