Good afternoon from State College where the Penn State Nittany Lions (2-1) are set to face the Kent State Golden Flashes (1-2) in the last non-conference game of the season. Penn State enters the game coming off of a tough loss in a close battle with Central Florida last Saturday under the lights at Beaver Stadium. Kent State won its first game of the season against Liberty before suffering decisive losses to Bowling Green and LSU over the last two weeks. The Golden Flashes are led by head coach Paul Haynes who is in his first season at the helm. Bill O'Brien is facing Kent State for the first time as Penn State's head coach and will look to add on to the Nittany Lions’ perfect record (3-0) against the Golden Flashes.

Regardless of whether there's a problem or not, it's never a bad idea to step back and reevaluate.
