Penn State is back home at Beaver Stadium this week, and just like last week against Maryland, the Nittany Lions get a chance to avenge an upset loss from last season. Penn State played poorly in Champaign a year ago and went home with a stunning defeat. This year, the Nittany Lions will be looking for a much different result when they host the Illinois Fighting Illini.
Penn State enters this week fresh off a thrilling 31-30 road victory over conference foe Maryland. The Nittany Lions have struggled on offense for much of the season but were able to break out in a big way last week.
