How to watch Penn State-Delaware; spread, pregame info, kick time, more: Gameday Central
Penn State football continues the 2023 college football season today. The Nittany Lions are set to hose FCS foe Delaware at Beaver Stadium. It is the program’s second non-conference game of the season. Head coach James Franklin’s side, which is ranked No. 7 in both the Associated Press top 25 and the USA Today Coaches poll, beat West Virginia 38-15 in Week 1. The Blue Hens, who are No. 19 in the latest FCS Coaches Poll, kicked off the season by beating Stony Brook 37-13.
“One of the things that we’re going to talk about with the team is this week of football Thursday through Sunday shows our staff and our players that you’d better appreciate winning and what winning takes,” Penn State coach James Franklin said Tuesday. “You’d better respect it, and you’d better appreciate it and what winning takes, because it’s hard to do. It’s hard to do. I want to thank our fans. The environment was phenomenal. It was a great crowd. Obviously one of the larger crowds, especially for an opening weekend, that we’ve ever had. So that was awesome.
“What a statement it would be this weekend if we’re able to do it again. So challenge all of our fans to come out, and let’s enjoy another Saturday in Beaver Stadium, and we’re very, very appreciative of the environment and the type of support we get.”
