Penn State is just 10 days out from its most anticipated season since 2017. With the Nittany Lions starting in the Top 10 in multiple polls, James Franklin\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> team is popular pick by many to potentially win the Big Ten and make the College Football Playoff for the first time.<\/p>\n

The success they\u2019ve had in recruiting is a major reason they\u2019re in this position, as PSU\u2019s Class of 2022 \u2013 which finished seventh overall \u2013 is starting to litter the depth chart. But in order to keep that success going, Penn State has to take advantage of this year\u2019s schedule, as its games against West Virginia and Iowa present excellent opportunities to showcase Beaver Stadium and everything Happy Valley has to offer to recruits.<\/p>\n

With the game now just over a week out, Blue White Illustrated\u2019s Ryan Snyder <\/strong>and Sean Fitz<\/strong> have put together an early look and who\u2019s expected to attend. Fans can check out that list below. <\/p>\n
