The 2024 college football season is almost here, which means it is time to get ready to root for your Penn State Nittany Lions as they chase that elusive College Football Playoffs berth. This will be a big year for Penn State and head coach James Franklin.
In recent seasons the only missteps have come against the Michigan Wolverines and Ohio State Buckeyes. Penn State won’t play the former this year but have an early November showdown with Ohio State at Beaver Stadium. Perhaps the offense will be poised to test the Buckeyes’ defense under new offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki.
For the first time in nine years, Penn State will open Big Ten play at home as they host the Illinois Fighting Illini on Sept. 28. This year’s whiteout game will take place on Nov. 9 when the Washington Huskies come to town for the first time. What a way to welcome them to the Big Ten.
