Penn State and LSU have had preliminary talks regarding a future non-conference game, which the Big Ten Network's composite schedule lists for 2020.

Spokesmen from Penn State and LSU confirmed discussions regarding a neutral-site game in 2020, though LSU's Michael Bonnette said the teams "are very early in the process."

According to a composite schedule posted by the Big Ten Network (Big Ten football schedules), Penn State is scheduled to play LSU on Sept. 12, 2020.

Penn State opened the season against Syracuse at MetLife Stadium, and Penn State coach Bill O'Brien has said he's a fan of such games.

"It's really important, not every year, but maybe every 2-3 years, to play a neutral-site game," O'Brien said earlier this season. "We've talked about playing down the road at other NFL venues. I think it's really good for your program."

LSU opened this season against Texas Christian at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys. In addition, LSU will play a two-game, "neutral-and-neutral" series with Wisconsin: 2014 at Houston's Reliant Stadium and 2016 at Green Bay's Lambeau Field in 2016.

Elsewhere, here are a few notes from Penn State's 2018-19 conference schedules.

The Lions open Big Ten play on the road in both seasons, for the 16th and 17th times since joining the big Ten.

They close the regular season against Maryland in 2018 and Rutgers in 2019. Penn State also will renew its season-ending game with Michigan State from 2014-16.

Penn State has five conference home games in 2018 and four in 2019.

The Lions play crossover games against Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin in 2018. They play Purdue, Iowa and Minnesota in 2019.
