“It’s proven that the home-field advantage is a real thing. It’s a real thing. It factors into a lot of things that you guys talk about that I can’t ever talk about. “How are they going to handle that? It’s one thing to do it at home in front of 100,000 which is challenging; it’s another thing to do it on the road with 70,000 people that kind of hate you.Penn State is expected to use running back Nicholas Singleton as a kickoff returner again, but the Lions must replace dangerous punt returner Daequan Hardy. Hardy returned two punts for touchdowns last season.
“Obviously, we’re hopeful that he’ll be able to go this week and be full go and be able to factor in for us.”The Lions’ top four receivers are expected to be Harrison Wallace III, Liam Clifford, Julian Fleming and Omari Evans.“I think at wide receiver when you talk about being an ‘11′ personnel set , you know, you’re talking about two-deep at two of the positions and then a swing guy in some ways,” Franklin said.
