Forty dollar student tickets will be sold this week for Saturday's homecoming matchup against Northwestern. Attendance has seen dramatic increases this season, averaging 5,395 more people than the first two games of last year.
Penn State showed what it was capable of at Beaver Stadium on Saturday afternoon, demolishing the UMass Minutemen to the tune of a 48-7 victory and an undefeated 4-0 start. Before that game, the Nittany Lions were ranked No. 30 in the AP poll and No. 34 in the USA Today Coaches Poll. One week later, the squad is knocking on the door of the Top 25 in both polls, reaching No. 27 overall in each.
