There are only seven days until (in no particular order) tailgaters light the grill, the Blue Band marches its way to Beaver Stadium, QB1 leads the team off the Blue Buses, the smell of gameday wafts through the Happy Valley air, the FLoating Lion, the drum major flip, the silly superstitious rituals, cracking that first cold one, throwing on the blue and white jerseys, singing the Alma Mater, hearing the roar of 107,000 fans, and watching the team exit the tunnel to spring on the field for the first time in 2018. Just one more short week.
Only seven days until Koa Farmer, Penn State’s most experienced and invaluable linebacker, if flying all over the field and leading a new-look defense.
