Penn State football heavy favorites over Idaho for season opener

Well, the 2019 NCAA season has finally arrived, folks! It’s been a long time coming, but the moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally here — the season opener. On Saturday, Penn State football will host the Idaho Vandals at Beaver Stadium for the first week of the season.

While it’s just another year for the Lions, this season has quite the different feel, for apparent reasons. For starters, there’s no Trace McSorley leading the offense this weekend. Instead, redshirt sophomore Sean Clifford will suit up as QB1 for the first time in his career.
