Who are the announcers for Penn State’s crucial Big Ten game at Minnesota on Saturday?

Penn State is looking to get to 10-1, and PJ Fleck’s Minnesota program is standing in the way.

The Nittany Lions will take on the 6-4 Golden Gophers on Saturday afternoon in Minneapolis. Kickoff is 3:30 PM (EST) and CBS will televise.

James Franklin’s team is a solid favorite and the Lions are 4-0. PSU has won at West Virginia, USC, Wisconsin and Purdue.

And there’s this: The Lions have played very well this season when Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson were on the air.

They will do it again on Saturday.

Nessler will handle play-by-play duties for PSU-Minnesota, with Danielson, a former Purdue quarterback who played in the NFL for a long time, providing analysis.

Nessler and Danielson were in Los Angeles for PSU’s 33-30 win over USC, and they powered the Lions’ 49-0 win over Purdue in West Lafayette last Saturday.

The duo is CBS’ top announcing team for Big Ten games. Jenny Dell will be the sideline reporter.

PennLive had the opportunity to chat with Danielson last week. Gary shared some of his thoughts on the development of Penn State quarterback Drew Allar and who he thinks is the best team in the Big Ten.
