In September, the Penn State Nittany Lions ranked #2 in the AP Poll. Following a 3-0 start, Penn State hosted the Oregon Ducks and lost a White Out heartbreaker, 30-24. Since then, Penn State has experienced a significant decline. Last year, head coach James Franklin took the Nits to the Final Four. It was his third consecutive double-digit win season and the sixth in the nine seasons leading up to 2025. Incredibly enough, Franklin was fired after a College Football odds loss to Northwestern. Now, Penn State concludes a disappointing home schedule with a game against Nebraska.
