How to watch Penn State football vs. Kent State: Time, channel, streaming info, and more
Penn State returns to the field this Saturday after its first bye week of the 2024 season. The 2-0 and top 10 Nittany Lions welcome 0-3 Kent State to Beaver Stadium. The Golden Flashes are fresh off a 71-0 blowout loss at Tennessee.
“Another very good football team, another top 10 football team in the country,” Kent State coach Kenni Burns said this week. “We’ve got to go in there and just continue to get better as a football program and as an organization. And we will. Very familiar with their coaching staff. (Penn State head) coach (James) Franklin is a guy that, not only do I have a ton of respect for, (but I) have a relationship with, and a man that as a minority coach, you look up to with the success he’s had and what he’s done up to date.
Penn State coach James Franklin also discussed the game this week.
Got Kent State this week and Kenni Burns coming to town,” he said. “Obviously Kenni is very familiar not only with Penn State from what he studied us this year during his time at Kent State, but obviously also from his time at Minnesota with P.J. Fleck. Tremendous opportunity for both programs. We’re excited about having him. Obviously they’ve had some challenges early in this year, but we’ve seen some good things on tape that we need to be prepared for, and we need to be ready for.
“We’re excited about that challenge. They have our attention. There’s no doubt about it. Kind of looking forward to getting to practice on Tuesday.”
