Penn State returns home to Beaver Stadium this weekend for a showdown with Central Michigan. The Nittany Lions are a big favorite against its second MAC opponent of the season, and the crowd should be electric after witnessing the Nittany Lions beat Auburn to a pulp last week down south. Penn State has climbed the national rankings and the national perspective is shifting in a much more positive light for Penn State as a result.
But that doesn’t mean this is a week to let the foot off the gas pedal. Here’s how Penn State measures up against its opponent this week as the Nittany Lions look to improve to 4-0 before jumping right back into Big Ten play for the remainder of the season next week.
