What was different about Penn State during this weather delay compared to the last one?
Penn State football lost a weather delay game in 2017. In 2024, it didn't allow the two-plus hour break to derail it again.
Watch James Franklin's postgame press conference following Penn State's 34-12 win over West Virginia
What did Penn State head coach James Franklin have to say following his team's 34-12 win over West Virginia? Watch his press conference here.
For a first game on the road against a quality? opponent, they did well. Need to clean up the penalties, get more WRs involved, find a fg kicker, and stay injury free. Carter had some growing pains but he will improve rapidly. Nice to see Nick, Drew, and Trey play at a high level.
Tough to get more wide receivers involved when you only throw about 18 passes and two were throwaways in the first half. Fleming and Clifford will probably see some targets early in the next game to make up for it, but can’t complain about Ball distribution with that few passes in my opinion.

Blue White Illustrated's Sean Fitz, Greg Pickel and Nate Bauer break down their thoughts following Penn State's 34-12 win over West Virginia.
Matt Leinert and Urban Meyer are guilty. Then again I think Urban may have been stoned, wouldn't take off those sunglasses.

This result must be incredibly disappointing to the real Penn State fans. Can they still say WE DESERVE BETTER?
They can and will, while quietly awaiting the first loss with eager anticipation.
most of the penalties should be easy to cleanup. officiating was more noticeable, but the offsides should be fixable.
FG kicking seems to be a problem again, so someone else will need to stand up. hopefully we have someone. some of the punts seemed a little short compared to Riley's past.
Carter on DE looks to be a learning experience. seems like he wrecked more havoc from LB spot. he also got erased on the runs a few times. he was also guilty of offsides a few times.
offense checked the boxes for sure. Drew running at key moments made a difference.
Penn State called 'a legitimate Big Ten threat,' Lions speed shows up, and more of what they're saying
Penn State football is in the headlines on Sunday following an impressive season opening win over West Virginia.
And there will be a river of tears next year at this time as Franklin begins a new era as a very rich coach of the Florida Gators.
If that would happen, which I seriously doubt, Saban is available.
Swinney needs a change of scenery too….

dabo has bama roots and could end up in tuscaloosa one day. I’m sure bama athletic supporters would support his views on the transfer portal, NIL.
, etc.Dabo is slowly sabotaging his own program right now by refusing to entertain the portal. The shine of Dabo is off.
It's their job. Telling viewers that WVa sucks and PSU will destroy them wouldn't motivate many people to watch.
I think Carter is more effective against a pure drop back passer. It's difficult to get to a mobile QB. It's also difficult to get to the QB on run plays.
That said, I expected Carter & DDS to get a sack or two once PSU scored on their opening possession of the second half. At that point WVa was forced to pass to catch up.
The Eeyore herd must be disappointed
Beat an unranked team you’re favored against in decent fashion? Sure.
yes there it is- "we deserve better"
First games always have their challenges.
That said, anyone with any basic knowledge of the teams - who honestly thought it was likely to be close (as opposed to just trying to hype a dog game), IDK?
Just as a for instance:
WVU plays with a 5 man secondary.
Their 5 starters were all transfers in to WVU. They came from:
Duquense
Georgia Southern
Abilene Christian
Rochester Community College (Seriously)
and
Northwestern.
WVU didn't have 2 defensive players who could make the chart for the average Big Ten team - and they played like it.
Credit to PSU, they did what you should do to a far weaker "talent challenged" team. You can only play the teams on your schedule.
But WVU will give up plenty of 35-40-45 point games this year. (WVU is better on offense than on defense - and was more of a test for the D, than their D was to PSU's O. But not that much)

Nobody in their right mind thinks PSU is going to win the Natty. Enjoy the wins, don't sweat the losses.
Re-watched the game yesterday and disagree especially in the second half
If Kotelnicki does well, he’ll leave for a head coaching job.
If we’re lucky, Kotelnicki won’t do well so we can keep him as OC.
Wait.
I thought CJF had to go to FL so Saban could come out of retirement to coach at PSU.
Andy is one more failed 2 point conversion and a laid egg vs OSU from being 2nd most hated coach on the staff. Fans would never be like"what have you done for me lately."If Kotelnicki does well, he’ll leave for a head coaching job.
