The first week of the 2024 American football season is here and fans can expect a slate of games this weekend, culminating in the Big Ten vs. Big 12 showdown on FOX.

The Nittany Lions-Mountaineers matchup features a number of compelling storylines, including Franklin’s quest to lead his team to the newly expanded 12-team College Football Playoff. Only three teams have reached the CFP in a season that saw new additions to both the offensive and defensive coordinators, and now Penn State is gunning for fourth place — a task made even more complicated by the addition of a new special teams coordinator.

Meanwhile, West Virginia would love to shock the college football world by pulling off a major upset at home. Mountain climbers lost to the Nittany Lions in Happy Valley a year ago, but still made the season a success by winning nine games. Quarterback Garrett Greene and running backs CJ Donaldson JrAnd . Jahiem White are a dangerous trio and can make life difficult for any opponent they face this season – and Penn State is likely the toughest opponent this team will face all year.

It all happens during “Big Noon Kickoff” and we’ll keep you up to date with all the action during Saturday’s game on FOX.
