Giger's Kickoff: Lions look to keep rolling vs. Chippewas

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- At 3-0 with two good road wins under their belt, there's little doubt Penn State is an extremely confident team right now.

The Nittany Lions would seem to be a shoo-in to gain even more confidence Saturday as 28-point favorites over Central Michigan. No one expects this to be a close game, and if it is, it most likely would mean that Penn State came into the game with too much confidence and taking the Chippewas lightly.

The Lions typically don't do that, thanks in large part to James Franklin's incessant 1-0 mantra, which keeps the team grounded against these kinds of opponents.
