Penn State football will (or should) breeze by Weeks 1-3 before taking a "well-earned" rest during Week 4. Essentially four easy weeks to start the season should mean that the Nittany Lions go into Week 5 refreshed and ready to go.
The pressure's on for Penn State as it comes out of its first bye week with the 2025 rendition of the White Out game. Head coach James Franklin will have to redeem himself from the 2024 Big Ten Championship and pull out a win against Oregon. It's one of the most telling games of the season and can offer a good projection as to how well the Nittany Lions will perform under pressure.
