Ohio State is scheduled to play at Penn State on Wednesday at 6 p.m.
The Buckeyes usually travel the day before games. That was the case again Tuesday, but based on tweets from the managers of the team they're having a little difficulty getting to State College because of some weather issues. It appears they're currently stranded somewhere in Pennsylvania.
The team had 25 pizzas delivered to their stranded plane to tide them over.

After adding 25 large scalding hot pizzas to the very confined plane, the approximate temperature is 337 F #DeathTrap

Things are about to get weird, people are considering loosing clothes to beat the heat. Any guess who the first culprit will be?

The planes drink supply is dwindling, we might have to break open the locked cabinet with those innocent looking small bottles #LetsGetWeird

We'll see how this thing plays out.
UPDATE (1:52 A.M.): According to this tweet from the manager account, Ohio State made it into State College just before 2 a.m.
The Buckeyes flew into Latrobe — the closest airport their plane could land — which is roughly 110 miles from State College. They had to wait for a bus to come to their plane and drive them the rest of the way.
As of now, Ohio State and Penn State will go on as scheduled tonight. What is usually an hour-long flight turned into much more than that, though, for the Buckeyes.
Shoutout to the bus driver #YouTheRealMVP
