Our sports staff is pretty confident that the Nittany Lions will pass their first big test of the season.

Ahead of the upcoming nine-game conference slate, we took a glimpse at each of the opponents on Penn State's schedule and how much of a threat they'll be to derail the Nittany Lions hopes of another Big Ten title and possible College Football Playoff run.

For the second week in a row, No. 5 Penn State welcomes a team who features a Panther as its mascot to Beaver Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 on Big Ten Network.

Our sports staff doesn't see Georgia State posing much of a threat to the Nittany Lions.

No. 4 Penn State will welcome a much different team to Beaver Stadium Saturday afternoon than the one it saw last fall in Pittsburgh.
