Penn State Football Morning Briefing: Franklin Wants a White Out, Lions Move Up in Poll, and Other News
Monday’s Penn State football news links contain plenty of coverage of this weekend’s dominating performance at Purdue.
Penn State is coming of a big road win over Purdue this past weekend. The Nittany Lions now have a four-game winning streak and will look to keep it going this week against the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Most of the coverage today focuses on the win over the Boilermakers. With the win, the Nittany Lions have moved up four spots in the AP Poll and also find themselves in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll. Next, there are grades for the win in West Lafayette and a closer look at the quick-strike offense.
Elsewhere, several players got some valuable playing time during the blowout win, and linebacker Brandon Smith has been a big key so far this season.
Finally, the Nittany Lions have opened the new week as a favorite at home against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Scheduled for a primetime start, head coach James Franklin took to Twitter Saturday to call for an unofficial White Out against the Hawkeyes.
