This week marks the beginning of college football, and a prominent team from the Big Ten is kicking off their season against a previously unplayed opponent. The Nevada Wolf Pack is traveling east to challenge the Nittany Lions of Penn State at their home turf.
Penn State is currently ranked 3rd in the Big Ten, and I really think they have a strong shot at winning the conference. A good number of their players are back this season, including senior quarterback Drew Alara. He’s entering his third year as a starter and is one of just nine FBS quarterbacks with over 6,300 passing yards and more than 53 touchdown passes in his time.
The Wolf Pack, on the other hand, is undergoing significant changes. They’ve only retained one defensive starter from last season’s disappointing 3-10 record, which included a tough 0-7 run in Mountain West play. This season, they have over 50 new players on their roster, making for quite the shake-up.
