Live Score Updates: Highlights from Penn State football’s first home game against Bowling Green
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – A new and improved Penn State football offense will debut Saturday at Beaver Stadium.
The possibly even better defense than last year will also be on display in the 2024 home opener against the Bowling Green Falcons.
It was certainly a promising start for new coordinator Andy Kotelnicki and his group, led by quarterbacks Drew Allar and Beau Pribula. The offense, which struggled to find big plays for most of last season, came up with play after play in a dominating 34-12 win in week one over West Virginia.
