The Penn State Nittany Lions visit West Virginia in one of the top games of college football's Week 1 schedule. How to watch, preview, predictions.
James Franklin spent the entirety of Penn State's training camp calling it tough and physical. After the fact, players tended to agree. Defensive tackle Dvon J-Thomas even called it the most challenging camp of his six seasons at Penn State.
Which seems like the perfect segue into the 2024 Penn State football season, which begins with more playoff hope than ever. An experienced roster, a reasonably favorable schedule and a 12-team College Football Playoff field should benefit the Nittany Lions this year. As should Saturday's season opener at West Virginia, where Penn State will reach the jet stream of its schedule right away.
Penn State will introduce Kotelnicki's offense with the new tech tools that the NCAA approved for this season, including communications devices between Kotelnicki and Allar. Penn State has used the microphones both in practice and Beaver Stadium scrimmages. The team contracted with an outside company to cut the mics at the 15-second mark, as per NCAA rules. And the Nittany Lions have tested backup systems, like signals and wristbands, in case the mics don't work.
In July, Franklin established the mission statement for Penn State this season: "For us, we’ve got to play our best when our best is needed most, in the biggest games and the biggest moments." That starts Saturday.
