Penn State is entering its penultimate week of preseason preparation before Marshall week begins. The Nittany Lions are 14 days from kickoff, with the opener against Marshall approaching after this final stretch of camp. The remaining preseason period gives Penn State limited time to settle its depth chart, install its opening plan, and prepare for the first game. No specific personnel decision or injury update is included in the current update.
“Penn State, the outofconference schedule is a disaster, and there is no excuse for it. Marshall, Temple, Buffalo, and then there is no Ohio State in conference. There's no Oregon. There's no Indiana.”
