Opening day is here for the Penn State program.

A non-conference date with a team from the Mountain West conference in State College should provide James Franklin’s Nittany Lions with an opportunity to get off to a strong start.

PSU is loaded with NFL prospects and Franklin has bolstered some perceived weak areas – wide receiver and linebacker -- with shrewd transfer portal additions.

Penn State begins its season with three consecutive home games against non-conference foes.

The Lions also have a bye before squaring off with defending conference champ Oregon at Beaver Stadium in prime time on Sept. 27.

First up for PSU is Jeff Choate’s Nevada Wolf Pack.
