Today's Penn State football news headlines feature a PSU-Akron preview from the Zips' perspective and an update on visit plans for top 2019 recruit Jordan Houston.
Akron isn't shying away from the challenge of playing at Beaver Stadium against the nation's No. 6 team. Coach Terry Bowden has been in this position before, taking his 2014 team to Happy Valley and losing 21-3 in James Franklin's first home game as Penn State's head coach.
Bowden talked about trying to defend a talented Penn State offense in a story by George M. Thomas for the Akron Beacon-Journal.
