Gameday Coverage: Penn State vs. Northwestern

It’s gameday, Nittany Lion fans! Penn State will travel to No. 21 Northwestern this week, the second time this season the Nittany Lions will play a currently-ranked team. This is the first time Penn State have visited Northwestern since 2011.

Here’s all of the media information you’ll need for today’s affair.

Kickoff: Noon, Eastern time. 11 a.m., Central time.
Television: ESPNU
Weather: It should be a pleasant day in Evanston on Saturday. The high is 52 degrees, and it will be mostly sunny.
Last time they met: Penn State got demolished last season by the Wildcats, losing 29-6 on Homecoming in Beaver Stadium. That’s all we’re going to say about it.
Injuries: Nyeem Wartman-White is still out of course. Franklin said that his team practiced a bit less this week and focused more on walkthroughs to provide time to recover. Penn State hasn’t had a bye week yet this year.

About the Author

Alex Robinson

Alex Robinson was Onward State's Acting Managing Editor/Resident Old Man. He lived in Harrisburg almost his whole life, but he says he's from California -- where he was born -- because that's more fun. He loves cats and Chinese food, but only separately. He met both Ben Affleck and Kanye West within a half hour, so the three of them are basically best friends. If you want to hear his #scorching #hot #takes, you can follow him at @ARobinsonPSU or email him at [email protected].
