There’s only one thing better than college football — college football earlier in the week than normal. Penn State fans may have to adjust their normal Friday evening plans this week, as the Nittany Lions will be in action in primetime.
As part of the Big Ten’s new schedule, Friday night games are now a regular part of the conference schedule for some teams. Penn State will get its first crack at a Friday game this week in Champaign.
The Nittany Lions open conference play as big favorites against the Illini. Still, the different schedule could have the team thrown off a bit to start.
