The new Ryan Field is here! Northwestern (2-1, 0-1 Big Ten) hosts Penn State (3-1, 0-1 Big Ten) in the first game at the new Ryan Field.

Kick is at 7:13 pm CT and the game will air on FOX.

I would've expected it to be more full, but if it's loud, that works for me. Student section looks amazing.

Cool opening! But why have Penn State come on the field after NU?

Like we are wearing the class purple & white unis. Beautiful stadium. Beat PSU!

Yeah... a little surprised people aren't in their seats to see that opening.

Good drive, but too bad they couldn't finish with 7. Lots of injured guys is going to make this tough.

The TV mix makes me suspect jts extremely loud because there is basically no field noise picking up over the crowd noise and RG3 is yelling

I’m just heard that Rocco Brecht has played more college football games than Tim Tebow. Where is Rocco’s Heisman Trophy??

And he really drilled it down the middle. Wow, is that nice for a change.
Nice thing about kickers is you don’t have to extrapolate performance from lower levels. He has he same accuracy history as Olsen but a much bigger leg

Bragging that you are the winningest coach at Iowa State is like bragging you are the tallest dwarf!

I HATE, HATE, HATE those PI calls on underthrown balls. That's the rule, so I'm not faulting the refs, but I hate that the rules reward a bad throw like that. The NCAA needs to think about how to adjust for that.
