With Big Ten media days in the rearview mirror and fall camps opening up around the conference, all sights are now set on the start of the 2021 college football season. The Big Ten will officially get things started at the end of the month with Nebraska and Illinois kicking off their seasons against each other. Penn State will start the following week on the road against Wisconsin, and the Nittany Lions are hoping to return to what they believe their form is after a down 2020 season.

So what did they have to say about the Nittany Lions?
