- The last three games in Beaver Stadium, dating back to 2014, have been nail-biters with the 2014 game going to double overtime, an unranked Penn State team defeating No. 2 Ohio State in 2016 and a one-point game in 2018.
- Saturday's game will be the fifth-consecutive primetime Penn State-Ohio State game in Beaver Stadium.

- It is also Penn State's second home opener against a Big Ten opponent, as Penn State's very first Big Ten game took place in Beaver Stadium to open the 1993 season (Minnesota; W, 38-20).

- Portions of the net proceeds from this initiative will be donated to THON, as well as Penn State equity and inclusion programs: Bunton-Waller scholarship program and Multicultural Faculty Development Support Funds. The Bunton-Waller scholarship is named in honor of Mildred Settle Bunton (1932), recognized as the first African American woman to graduate from Penn State, and Calvin Hoffman Waller (1904), believed to be Penn State's first African American graduate. The scholarship is given to students who enhance the broad and diverse student population at Penn State.
