No. 2 Penn State opens its 2025 season Saturday afternoon against Nevada within the friendly confines of Beaver Stadium. This will be the first meeting all-time between the Nittany Lions and the Wolf Pack.

Max Ralph and Johnny McGonigal will go live on the Blue-White Breakdown at noon Thursday to make their picks for the game. They’ll also dive into James Franklin’s decision to name Ethan Grunkemeyer as his backup quarterback in Week 1.

Penn State Athletics is ready to host Nittany Lion fans for the football team’s seven-game home schedule that starts next Saturday when Nevada rolls into Beaver Stadium for a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff on CBS.

Penn State's Beaver Stadium will feature more than 7,000 temporary seats this season, as the Nittany Lions play through a long-term renovation.
