For the second straight season, there's a battle for Penn State's starting placekicker spot.
Prior to the 2024 season, James Franklin announced Cooper Cousins and Dejuan Lane will burn their redshirt this season.
"Home field advantage is a real thing."
Franklin spoke on Pat Kraft, West Virginia, and more ahead of the team's season opener.
Despite losing notable starters, both the offensive line and the tight ends return with solid depth.
Both veteran and rookie Penn Staters took the field during the NFL preseason.
