For the first time since November 2019 Penn State was able to host 107K+ at Beaver Stadium. As expected, especially coming off a thrilling victory over Wisconsin to open the season, this led to an electric atmosphere inside Beaver Stadium.
Due to this atmosphere Ball State never had a chance in this game. Not only is Penn State the far superior team talent wise, this crowd was never going to let the Nittany Lions lose. Hell, it was never going to let this game be anything short of a blowout.
This may have been the most electric Beaver Stadium crowd I have ever seen for a non-Power 5 non-conference opponent.
