Iowa and Penn State put on a night-time show in 2017 at Kinnick Stadium.

They will get another game under the lights on Oct. 12. Kickoff time will be at 6:30 p.m., the Big Ten announced on Monday.

The game will be televised on either ABC, FS1 or BTN.

Penn State won, 21-19, in that 2017 game, when Trace McSorley threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Juwan Johnson as time expired.

Iowa had a 19-15 lead with 1:42 left after Akrum Wadley's 35-yard touchdown run.

Penn State is currently No. 11 in the coaches poll and No. 12 in the Associated Press poll. Iowa is 14th in both rankings. The Nittany Lions (4-0) play host to Purdue this Saturday, while Iowa (4-0) is at Michigan.
