Good morning Penn State fans!

The Penn State football team is set to take on Akron today at noon in James Franklin’s first home game as head coach. Both teams won their first games last weekend and are coming into the matchup undefeated. The Nittany Lions beat UCF 26-24 in James Franklin’s debut last weekend in Dublin, Ireland. Sam Ficken was 4-4 on field goals, including the game-winner as time expired, and Christian Hackenberg broke Zack Mills’ single-game passing record, throwing for 454 yards. Akron defeated Howard University last weekend 41-0 behind quarterback Kyle Pohl’s 308 yards and 3 touchdowns.
