Today marks one of the best days of the offseason - the start of the countdown that will bring us a brand spanking new season of Penn State Football.
There is one big wrinkle for the countdown this year - for the first time, it will end on a day besides Saturday. Penn State will kick off the 2022 season at Purdue on a Thursday evening on the first day of September. This will be the first non-Saturday game for the Nittany Lions of the modern era (Penn State was scheduled to play Virginia on Thursday, Sept. 13, 2001, but the game was postponed following the aftermath of 9/11).
