West Virginia vs Penn State team news
West Virginia Mountaineers team news
Neal Brown entered the 2023 season under pressure, but the Mountaineers responded impressively, finishing with a 9-4 record thanks to a balanced offensive approach and an improved defense. Garrett Greene delivered a solid performance at quarterback, while WVU's ground game was dominant, averaging 228.9 rushing yards per game, ranking fourth in the FBS.
Although the defense is still a work in progress, it showed significant improvement from its dismal 2022 season and has bolstered its ranks with several experienced transfers. Facing a formidable Penn State defense, the Mountaineers will rely on the experience of dual-threat quarterback Greene and a dynamic running back duo in CJ Donaldson and Jaheim White. Additionally, they’ll benefit from the support of a strong offensive line.
Penn State Nittany Lions team news
Penn State heads into the 2024 season with 23 players who have starting experience, including seven key starters on offense, yet there's still a lot of transition ahead. The Nittany Lions have introduced three new coordinators, with offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki being particularly noteworthy.
The team's success seems to hinge on quarterback Drew Allar, who, as a highly touted freshman last season, showed both promise and efficiency. Expect the Nittany Lions to lean heavily on their ground game with Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen leading the charge against West Virginia, while tight end Tyler Warren will be a primary target for Allar. In the secondary, Georgia transfer cornerback AJ Harris is expected to make his debut as a starter for Penn State.
