ESPN’s ‘College GameDay’ announces Week 8 destination

ESPN’s “College GameDay” announced Saturday it is headed to Columbus, Ohio, next week for Ohio State-Penn State.

No. 6 Penn State got a warmup Saturday after Drew Allar threw for three touchdowns and ran for another score to lead the Nittany Lions past UMass 63-0. Theo Johnson caught two touchdown passes, Tyler Warren, Kaytron Allen, Trey Potts and Beau Pribula scored, and Daequan Hardy returned two punts for touchdowns to lead the Nittany Lions to their 11th straight win since last season.

Coming off a bye week, and with next week’s trip to No. 3 Ohio State looming, Penn State (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) recovered from a sloppy start in a cold downpour at Beaver Stadium.

Meanwhile, Kyle McCord threw three touchdown passes and Dallan Hayden rushed for 76 yards and one touchdown in relief duty, leading No. 3 Ohio State to a 41-7 rout at Purdue. The Buckeyes remained unbeaten by winning their first road game in the series since 2013. Hayden made his season debut because Ohio State’s top two running backs sat out with injuries and Chip Trayanum was injured in the first quarter. T
