Penn State football takes on Delaware today at noon in front of another great Beaver Stadium crowd. With a noon kick does the student section show up on time? That’s about the only worry Penn State should have against an FCS opponent with a top-ten team taking the field in front of a home crowd. But this week is less about the opponent and more about the Nittany Lions showing improvement in select areas from last week. 

Join the Penn State Football Tailgate Show at 9 a.m. to get you ready for the action. Former Penn State defensive tackle Aeneas Hawkins breaks down the game from a player level and gives you his expertise on what he’s looking for this afternoon.

Penn State stacking days heading into Big Ten schedule

Penn State Head Coach James Franklin continues to push his team each day, and week of the 2023 calendar. After Wednesday’s practice, he had a clear message that he delivered in his press conference with the assembled media. 

“I showed a film to the team today before coming out, and it was talking about guys like Tom Brady and guys like Michael Jordan and LeBron, who not only had successful careers but did it for 10-20 plus years, and Tiger Woods, and how hard that is to do. So it’s a great message about consistency. And I think that’s really what we’re all trying to do in college football is, how do you teach young people, college players and college teams, how to practice and play on a consistent level. And that’s our challenge right now. We practice good. We practice like a really good football team. Are we practicing yet and displaying the habits and behaviors of a great or elite team? And that’s a challenge for me and the coaching staff and leaders.”
