PENN STATE ANNOUNCES 'WHITE OUT' AGAINST OHIO STATE

The Nittany Lions are back at it again.

Penn State announced Tuesday a school-sponsored white out of Beaver Stadium when the Ohio State Buckeyes roll into Happy Valley on Oct. 22.

Ohio State is 2-0 under Urban Meyer in white out games in Happy Valley, including 2014's thrilling come-from-ahead double-overtime victory that ended with Joey Bosa using the broken corpse of PSU RB Akeel Lynch as a battering ram for a game-ending sack of Christian Hackenberg.

Penn State has already announced that its Oct. 22 game against the Buckeyes would be its annual "white out" contest, and that's been typical of late for this game in Happy Valley. The 2016 game will be a third consecutive night game between the teams at Beaver Stadium. The Buckeyes are 7-5 all-time at Beaver Stadium, including four consecutive victories there since a 17-10 loss in 2005.

2016 SCHEDULE LOOK AHEAD: OHIO STATE AT PENN STATE

71806_h.jpg,qitok=-yN2Iaty.pagespeed.ce.orUSzQwWks.jpg


From strictly an on-field football standpoint, there is one considerable theme at Penn State heading into James Franklin's third season: Change.

Both offensive and defensive coordinators from the 2015 season are gone, either fired or moved on to a new job. Starting quarterback Christian Hackenberg bolted as quickly as he could to the NFL, Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year Carl Nassib now plays for the Cleveland Browns and multi-year starter at defensive tackle Anthony Zettel graduated.

New faces are everywhere, as Franklin realizes it is now or never for him in State College. Back-to-back 7-6 seasons and a 6-10 Big Ten record mostly with Bill O'Brien's roster is nothing to write home about. Now with three recruiting classes of his own players in the fold and scholarship reductions stemming from the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal lifted, it is time to produce.

Let's take a closer look at the Nittany Lions.

OFFENSE
A messy divorce on Penn State's offense finally ended when quarterback Christian Hackenberg declared for the 2016 NFL Draft shortly following his team's 24-17 loss to Georgia in the Taxslayer Bowl.

He and head coach James Franklin never meshed on or off the field, and Hackenberg reportedly blamed him for the statistical decline during his sophomore and junior seasons at Penn State. Hackenberg threw for nearly 3,000 yards and 20 touchdowns against only 10 interceptions in 2013 for Bill O'Brien but then had a combined 28 scores against 21 picks while his completion percentage plummeted the last two seasons for Franklin.

I'm funding the "roughing the turf" penalty against Penn State for next week. What're you guys covering?

I've got the "unnecessary silliness" and "excessive shenanigans" covered.

Or was it "unnecessary shenanigans" and "excessive silliness"? Either way, somebody is getting slapped with a fish.
