  "account": "The Penn State Nittany Lions have officially announced the details of their annual White Out game for 2026. The highly anticipated matchup against the USC Trojans will take place on October 10th at the iconic Beaver Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET and coverage on NBC.\n\nThe last encounter between these two teams was in 2024, where Penn State emerged victorious with a thrilling 33-30 overtime win at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. USC's previous visit to Happy Valley was in 1994, where the Nittany Lions handed them a decisive 38-14 defeat.\n\nUnfortunately, last year's White Out game did not go as planned for Penn State, as they suffered a double-overtime loss to the visiting Oregon Ducks, marking their first defeat of the season and ultimately leading to the dismissal of head coach James Franklin. This year's game against USC represents the inaugural White Out game under the leadership of Matt Campbell.\n\nPenn State's 2026 schedule kicks off with this high-stakes clash against the Marshall Thundering Herd on September 5th.",
