Week 3: Penn State Football vs. Auburn

The annual ‘Whiteout’ will return to Beaver Stadium after a hiatus last year due to the pandemic.

It’s not often that an SEC power comes to Happy Valley, so the crowd should be rocking.

Auburn will be breaking in a new coaching staff and dealt with quite a bit of roster turnover because of the coaching change.  Bo Nix returns at quarterback for the Tigers, but he will be without his top three receivers from last season and will be learning a new offense.

Auburn is still a talented team and has some great names on the roster like Tank Bigsby and Smoke Monday. It will definitely be a fun game, but with a whiteout crowd and an Auburn team that will still be trying to figure out its identity, the Nittany Lions should prevail in the end.
