Penn State Football: 3 players who will need to have a big day against Minnesota

Penn State football is looking to turn the page as it faces Minnesota in the annual White Out game this upcoming Saturday. 

Penn State football could use some big performances from star players if the team is going to bounce back from the loss to Michigan.

The Nittany Lions were more or less embarrassed by the Wolverines last week, losing 41-17. Adjustments need to be made and players need to play better.

This week presents another challenge for Penn State as it faces the 4-2 Minnesota Golden Gophers. The Gophers are built somewhat similar to Michigan is the way that they rely heavily on the run game and have a stout defense. Penn State cannot have a repeat of last week.

This game being at night and being the annual White Out game will certainly help the Nittany Lions, but it will not ensure a victory.

Minnesota starting quarterback Tanner Morgan may also not play because of an injury, but with the way the Gophers run the ball, it may not matter much who the quarterback is.

If Penn State is going to pull out the win, these three players, and many others, need to have a big day.
