Penn State welcomes FIU to Beaver Stadium for just the second time in program history on Saturday. The two sides are meeting for the first time since 2007, when the Lions won 59-0. The home team is yet again a massive favorite and seeks another big win after opening the year with a 46-11 romp over Nevada.

“We’re going to have to be prepared just like we were last week, offense, defense, special teams,” James Franklin said on Monday. “There will be things that show up in this game that we can’t prepare for or anticipate based on film breakdown and study.

“We need to take a significant step compared to where we were last week.”

How to watch, stream Lions-Panthers

Penn State is back on the Big Ten Network for the first time this season. In fact, it’s something of a major anniversary for the Lions. They first played on BTN in 2007 against, you guessed it, FIU. They were part of a multi-game debut day for the conference’s new network TV arm.

Guy Haberman is handling play-by-play duties. Yogi Roth is the color commentator. And, Rhett Lewis is the sideline reporter.

The Penn State Sports Network will also be on the radio airwaves with Steve Jones, Jack Ham, and Brian Tripp. It airs on 99.5 & 103.7 FM/1450 AM locally and at GoPSUSports.com online.
