James Franklin said Penn State has to be 'honest' about the atmosphere at Northwestern.
Penn State running back Nick Singleton runs a drill during practice on Sept. 27, 2023. Joe Hermitt | [email protected], Penn State will pump in music during its practices. When the Nittany Lions are getting ready to visit a hostile environment, the volume will grow louder and louder. The staff might even mix in a team’s fight song or signature stadium anthem.
“It’s about being honest about what it’s going to be like,” Franklin said of the environment at Northwestern’s Ryan Field. “You look at Northwestern, they’ve typically had good home records. Why? Because it can be challenging to play there. They’re used to the environment; other people may not be. Meanwhile, Northwestern has hosted two games this year. The attendances at Ryan Field against UTEP and Minnesota were 14,851 and 20,148, respectively.
The Joe Moore Award, which honors the top offensive line in the country, has a weekly recognition called the “Pancake Block of the Week.” Penn State’s line won for its efforts on Drew Allar’s six-yard QB sneak.
