No.7 Penn State faces Illinois on Saturday, September 16, 2023 (9/16/2023) at University of Illinois Memorial Stadium in Champaign, Illinois.
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Penn State will play in a hostile environment for the first time Saturday, opening its Big Ten season on the road at Illinois in a nationally televised game.
“It should be a great atmosphere at Illinois, a great environment for college football,” he said. “We opened our Big Ten season last year at Purdue. There was a black-out there.”The Nittany Lions have beaten West Virginia 38-15 and Delaware 63-7, and are opening their Big Ten season on the road for the eighth straight season and 13th time in 14 years.
“They’re always trying to find ways to get the ball in No. 1′s hands,” Franklin said of Williams, a former quarterback who has caught at least one pass in all 27 games he’s played as a receiver since switching positions before the start of the 2021 season. For Illinois coach Bret Bielema, this was a week of reflection. The loss to Kansas didn’t sit well with the Illini, and his team is underdogs by 14 1/2 points according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
That’s good news for the leaky Illini secondary. Bailey impressed last season as a freshman, picking off three passes and scoring on a fumble recovery while covering a punt return.
