Are people over the rivalry? It used to be huge but had penn state even been good since the whole Sandusky mess?
Penn State has been in the 7-5, 8-4 area of just over mediocre. But their era of sanctions is over, so they should improve.
I thought the restoration of the rivalry would at least merit a national 3:30 time slot. It’s second week of season, so it’s not like taking a risk that both teams could have terrible records for the game.
