Austin Peay and Central Arkansas opened up the 2020 college football season, and all eyes were on them, literally.
The game, which was televised on ESPN, was also the first college sporting event to happen since early spring when the NCAA made the decision to cancel all spring sporting events.
Not only that, but the college football season has been a topic of controversy all spring and summer as to what will happen.
The Big 10, PAC 12, Mountain West, and Mid-American conferences made the decision to cancel their fall season, while the SEC, ACC, and Big 12, and others continue to fight for their chance to play.
TWO of those conferences who chose to play are the Southland Conference and Ohio Valley Conference, which Austin Peay and Central Arkansas play for.
During the game, two Penn State football players reacted to watching other conferences getting to continue with their season, while they can’t.
Soo why can everyone, but the big ten and pac-12 play?š¤£š¤£š¤£

Both Penn State tight end Pat Freiermuth and Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford feel the same way.
Can you blame them?
I can’t.
I feel for them.
They want to play the sport they love, and it’s a tragedy they can’t.
It’s a decision many players, and coaches, are fighting to get the Big 10 to change.
As of right now, the SEC is still planning to play.
Alabama will open up the season on September 26th in Colombia, Missouri to take on the Mizzou Tigers in the opening game of their conference only schedule.
