How to watch Penn State-Indiana; spread, pregame info, kick time, more: Gameday Central
Welcome back to game day, Penn State fans! The Nittany Lions hit the road today to take on Indiana. Both teams are aiming to bounce back after losing last week.
“That’s where we are,” Penn State coach James Franklin said this week. “On the road, a challenging situation. Got to get our guys ready, practice well, and go find a way to be 1-0 this week.”
Hoosiers coach Tom Allen also addressed the matchup.
“New team, new guys, new faces on both teams,” Allen said. “Great opportunity for our team. Any time you have a chance to play a top team in the country, that’s what you want to be able to do.
“Our guys have a big week ahead of us to prepare for that. Just got to find a way to continue to get better and finish games.”
