Penn State hosts Central Michigan this weekend in a game that should be a fairly easy win for the Nittany Lions. Several analysts are predicting Penn State to have a big day at Beaver Stadium on Saturday.
The Nittany Lions have plenty of momentum leaning their way after a blowout win at Auburn last weekend. Everything was clicking on both sides of the ball.
One of the most surprising yet intriguing aspects of this Penn State team is the amount of freshmen that have played for them through the first three games of the season. Some don’t really come as too much of a surprise, like running back Nick Singleton, who has been one of the most sensational freshmen to watch thus far.
Heading over to the defensive side of the ball, Penn State has seen plenty of talented underclassmen see the field, and they have been productive. They certainly have the talent to take down Central Michigan on Saturday.
