Penn State vs. Illinois Matchup Breakdown
Penn State Nittany Lions
Penn State has a feel-good win under its belt with Saturday’s 56-0 triumph over a spectacularly ill-equipped Kent State team. The Nittany Lions came off a bye and were able to rest key veterans in preparations for their Big Ten Conference opener.
And get this, Penn State’s first league game in 2024 comes on its home field! That’s a rarity, as coach James Franklin likes to remind everyone, and an advantage for the Nittany Lions, who can lean on their home crowd in key moments.
Illinois Fighting Illini
Franklin said on Monday that Illinois quarterback Luke Altmyer is one of the Big Ten’s most improved players. He is also the new Big Ten co-offensive player of the week after completing 21 of 27 passes for 215 yards and four touchdowns in a 31-24 overtime win. The Illini rank No. 3 nationally in turnover margin and No. 15 in scoring defense, allowing just 12.5 points per game over their 4-0 start.

Franklin wants Whiteout Energy, but this isn’t an official Whiteout. Rather, it’s just an intriguing night kick at Beaver Stadium where the crowd figures to show up big and wearing white anyway. This weekend is also Homecoming, where the 1994 team will be recognized.
