The Big Ten has released its availability report for Penn State’s season opener at West Virginia, and the Nittany Lions will be without one of its veteran offensive players. Khalil Dinkins, who’s played in a total of 22 games at tight end over the past two seasons, is out against the Mountaineers. James Franklin told…

It’s that time of the year again. No. 8 Penn State (-8) will begin its 2024 season at unranked West Virginia on Saturday, the first game of a campaign filled with plentiful opportunities for both programs. The contest is set to kickoff at noon EDT and will be broadcast on FOX. The storylines are endless.…

A tipped pass found its way into the hands of Tyler Warren. He secured it and raced 75 yards past the Ole Miss secondary for a first down just feet away from the goal line. It was technically the longest pass play of Drew Allar’s first season as Penn State’s starting quarterback. But it equally…

Drew Allar remembers warmups. There was an hour before kickoff in Penn State’s 2023 season opener against West Virginia and the stands were already packed.

NFL teams cut down their rosters on Tuesday to fit the 53-man limit, and a handful of former Penn State players have found themselves on the open market. Sean Clifford, the Nittany Lions’ longtime starting quarterback, is reportedly one of them, having been released by the Green Bay Packers, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Clifford…

Cooper Cousins did the extra work. He crunched tape after every spring practice, stayed in the facilities until absurd hours of the night and refined his pass sets on the practice field even after the lights had been shut off. There’s a reason he’s been selected by James Franklin as one of two Penn State…
