No. 8 Nittany Lions eager for Big Ten opener at Indiana
By The Associated Press undefined
No. 8 Penn State opens the highly-anticipated 2020 season Saturday at Indiana. It’s the latest season-opener for the Nittany Lions since 1918 when they didn’t open until Nov. 2 because of the influenza pandemic. The Hoosiers are coming off their first eight-win season since 1993 and are looking for their first upset of a top-10 team since a 31-10 blowout at Ohio State in 1987. Penn State could be without starting running back Journey Brown. Coach James Franklin says Brown could miss the entire season with an undisclosed medical condition that was diagnosed during an unusual offseason. If Brown doesn’t play, Noah Cain and Devyn Ford would be the likely replacements.
