Penn State and Nevada face off to begin 2025 as teams that finished the 2024 season on opposite ends of the football spectrum.
The Nittany Lions went 13-3 and lost in the College Football Playoff semifinal match last year, while the Wolfpack went 3-10 and finished last in the Mountain West with a 0-7 conference record.
All eyes will be on Penn State quarterback Drew Allar after he returned to University Park for the season. The Nittany Lions lost key 2024 contributors like Abdul Carter and Tyler Warren to the NFL Draft but kept seven players from last year's squad.
Nevada will start Chubba Purdy, the younger brother of 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, under center. This is Purdy's third team after he started at Florida State, then transferred to Nebraska before joining Nevada.
