[Live Blog] Penn State Football’s 2021 Blue-White Practice
Penn State football is back in Beaver Stadium, folks.
The Nittany Lions are enjoying a revised edition of the annual Blue-White Game Saturday afternoon. While it will be more of a practice than anything else, Penn State will still invite the Class of 2024 into the stadium to watch some football as students in-person for the first time.
The game won’t be televised, but Onward State will have you covered on every piece of action this afternoon. Follow us here and on Twitter @OnwardState and @OnwardStSports for updates, photos, videos, and more from Saturday’s spring practice.
