Despite beating FIU 34-0, Penn State hopefully played its worst game of the season last Saturday. With another easy matchup on the horizon in Happy Valley on Sept. 13, Penn State has to find a way to come out and take care of business, hopefully getting the starters out of the game early.
Villanova enters the contest at 1-0, playing its first game of the season last week in a 24-17 win against Colgate.
Penn State’s offense still hasn’t looked great, which could be a concern if it happens again today. The Nittany Lions will have a bye week next weekend before taking on Oregon on Sept. 27. This is the perfect time to get the offense going and to get ready for a likely top-five matchup in Happy Valley later this month.
