How to watch the Penn State Blue-White game; pregame info, kick time, more: Gameday Central
It’s Blue-White game day, Penn State fans! The Nittany Lions will hold their annual spring finale scrimmage at Beaver Stadium this afternoon. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. ET, and the game will return to its regular two-team format.
“I think there’s value in it,” head coach James Franklin said. “I also think that we’re one of the unusual schools where when 75,000 people show up to watch a spring game I would like to be able to give ’em a spring game. We’re one of the unique places; we’re going to have more people at our spring game than most people have for a regular game in the fall. So whenever we can create a spring game atmosphere, we want to do that for the fans.
“But, I also think there’s value for me in seeing the guys play under the lights and in front of the fans and with the media there and with everybody’s eyes on ’em and watching. Because some guys rise to that occasion, and some guys feel the pressure and anxiety from that. So figuring that out is, there’s value in that.”
Regardless of whether or not you’ll be in State College today, get ready for the Blue-White game below.
