Penn State comes out on the road against what should be a sold out Ross-Ade Stadium and takes a few lumps before the team settles in a bit. After falling behind in the first quarter, the Lions right the ship and the improved offense begins to carry its weight. Sean Clifford is fully healthy, and the run game actually contributes, with Nick Singleton making his collegiate debut. The game is always tight, but PSU has enough in the tank to get the season-opening win.
Penn State 38, Purdue 35
