A new season means new expectations and new life for college football programs across the country. That’s no different for the Penn State Nittany Lions or Idaho Vandals. But on Saturday, preseason expectations go out the window as the two programs separated by over 2,000 miles and a whole subdivision of college football face off on the gridiron for the first time.
Saturday’s matchup will mark Penn State’s first game against an FCS opponent since 2010 when the Nittany Lions took on and defeated the Indiana State Sycamores 41-7. The result by the end of Saturday’s game shouldn’t be much different.
