The Nittany Lions will open the season with two exhibition games this season. As of today, they’re playing Bloomsburg on Sunday, November 5th, and will now play The Lafayette Leopards on Saturday, November 4th in an NCAA-approved exhibition game to raise funds for hurricane relief.

According to the GoPSUSports release, Penn State and Lafayette partnered with the One America organization, which initially raised efforts for hurricane Harvey relief, but has now been expanded to hurricane Irma and Maria as well.
