Penn State and West Virginia will collide in a Week 1 matchup that could turn heads around the college football world if the Mountaineers pull off the upset.
The 2024 season presents a "put up or shut up" scenario to coach James Franklin and the Nittany Lions. Penn State has not reached the Big Ten championship game since 2016, when it won the fourth conference title in program history.
While West Virginia isn't considered an elite non-conference opponent, Franklin made it clear that his squad isn't overlooking the Mountaineers. The Nittany Lions know that a loss early in the season could come back to haunt them as they pursue a spot in the College Football Playoff bracket.
"I think [West Virginia coach] Neal Brown's done a really good job," Franklin said earlier this week. "I think it's a very, very challenging place to play. For an opener, that's going to create some challenges and issues for us."
