Penn State vs. West Virginia is set to be a thrilling highlight of the 2024 college football season as Week 1 kicks off with a packed schedule of games, featuring a highly anticipated Big Ten versus Big 12 clash on FOX.
This matchup between the Nittany Lions and Mountaineers is filled with intriguing narratives, particularly as Coach Franklin seeks to guide his team into the newly expanded 12-team College Football Playoff. Historically, only three teams have made it to the CFP under similar circumstances, where new offensive and defensive coordinators were introduced. Now, Penn State aims to become the fourth team to achieve this feat, a challenge made even tougher with the recent hiring of a new special teams coordinator.
On the other side, West Virginia is looking to create a major upset on their home turf. After losing to the Nittany Lions in Happy Valley last season, the Mountaineers bounced back impressively, finishing the year with nine victories. The dynamic trio of quarterback Garrett Greene, along with running backs CJ Donaldson Jr. and Jahiem White, poses a significant threat to any opponent, and Penn State stands out as their toughest competitor this season.
The excitement builds for “Big Noon Kickoff,” where fans can catch all the action from Saturday’s game on FOX.
