Penn State seek recovery against No. 19 USC in White Out game

Summarised from 2 outlets · 9 reports · Updated 10 Oct, 00:43 · Archive

Penn State host No. 19 USC on Saturday after losing their first two Big Ten conference games.

Penn State host No. 19 USC on Saturday night in their White Out game at Beaver Stadium, with kickoff at 7:30 p.m. The temperature is forecast to reach 60 degrees with no rain expected.

After cruising through nonconference play, Penn State (3-1, 0-2 Big Ten) have struggled in their first two conference games. They let Wisconsin claim victory before being booed off their home field in the conference opener against Northwestern. Plenty of tickets remain available for the usually sold out White Out game, as patience wears thin in the fan base.

Coach Matt Campbell acknowledged the frustration but said he was not surprised by the slow start. "The reality of it is I'm not surprised," Campbell said. "The frustration from my end is you want to give our players, our coaches and this community something to be really proud of and what it represents and we're not there yet." He added that the team must establish a rhythm and find an identity, having scored only four touchdowns while allowing 58 points and 533 rushing yards to Wisconsin and Northwestern.
