Penn State photos: See Abdul Carter, Drew Allar, Kalen King, and more at Peach Bowl practice
Atlanta — No. 10 Penn State practiced inside of Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Wednesday in preparation for Saturday’s Peach Bowl matchup with No. 11 Ole Miss. Both teams enter the New Year’s Six game with a 10-2 record. The Nittany Lions are a 4.5-point favorite. But, the two sides will be ready to play when they meet for the first time.
“Obviously Ole Miss is a really good team, and they’re from a really good conference as well,” Penn State quarterback Drew Allar said Wednesday. “That doesn’t change the fact that they’re a good team. It doesn’t matter what conference they come from. They’re a very solid team on both sides of the ball.
“So we’ve got to do our best and go out and execute the game plan that coaches have put together the past couple of weeks. If we do that, I think we have a good shot.”
Running back Nicholas Singleton also weighed in on the top-15 matchup during a media availability here.
“We’re excited about it,” he said. “Ole Miss is a good team, really good defense, really good offense. Both sides of the ball are really good. But we’re excited we’re in SEC territory. Coach Franklin always preaches about that.
