One thing’s for certain about San Diego State football heading into its matchup at Penn State on Saturday: The Aztecs are thrilled.
“We have an exciting week this week,” head coach Rocky Long said. “I think our team is excited about going to a place that we’ve never been. I am excited about going to a place I have never been.”
Most coaches wouldn’t use the same rhetoric as Long if they were the ones headed to Beaver Stadium. It seats 106,572 crazed fans and it’s where the Nittany Lions boast a 267-71 all-time record.
Regardless of his enthusiasm, Long hasn’t lost sight of the challenges Penn State presents.
