Penn State-Delaware: What does Peacock cost to stream the game? How to sign up, kick time, more
Penn State returns to the field on Saturday for Week 2 of the 2023 college football season. The Nittany Lions welcome Delaware to Beaver Stadium for their second of three non-conference games this fall. It is the first meeting between the two programs. All-time, PSU is 116-79-12 against FCS foes. The Blue Hens are the first program Penn State is playing from that level since beating Villanova in 2021.
“One of the things that we’re going to talk about with the team is this week of football Thursday through Sunday shows our staff and our players that you’d better appreciate winning and what winning takes,” Lions coach James Franklin said Tuesday. “You’d better respect it, and you’d better appreciate it and what winning takes, because it’s hard to do. It’s hard to do.
“I want to thank our fans. The environment was phenomenal. It was a great crowd. Obviously one of the larger crowds, especially for an opening weekend, that we’ve ever had. So that was awesome. What a statement it would be this weekend if we’re able to do it again. So challenge all of our fans to come out, and let’s enjoy another Saturday in Beaver Stadium, and we’re very, very appreciative of the environment and the type of support we get.”
