Penn State travels to Auburn for its second road game of the 2022 season on Saturady. It marks the fourth all-time meeting between the two schools but only the second in the regular season. The first non-bowl-game matchup was last year when the Lions took a 28-20 outcome at Beaver Stadium. Now, the home-and-home series concludes in SEC territory.

Blue-White Illustrated will have daylong complete coverage from pregame posts to an in-game live updates blog and thread to everything you need to know once the clock strikes four zeroes in Week 3.

Weather report

Weather.com is calling for a high of 87 degrees on a sun-splashed day. Winds are set to be at five to 10 miles per hour. Humidity should not be terrible. But, the Lions will be on the visitors’ sideline, of course, which is in the sun for most of the afternoon. Hydration and rotation will be key to keeping players cramp-free and fresh throughout the contest.
