Penn State Prepares for USC in White Out Game Amidst Injury Challenges

Penn State football is set to host the No. 19 USC Trojans for a White Out game at Beaver Stadium on Saturday at 7:30 p.m., following disappointing losses in their first two Big Ten games against Wisconsin and Northwestern.

The Nittany Lions have struggled offensively, leading to a subdued atmosphere for this year's White Out. Key players, including receiver Koby Howard and several defensive ends, will be absent due to injuries, with Howard out for an extended period and others sidelined for the season.

Historically, Penn State trails USC 6-5 in their all-time series, although they lead 4-3 in regular-season encounters. The last meeting saw Penn State overcome a halftime deficit to win in overtime. Despite their recent struggles, Penn State is a 1.5-point favorite for this matchup, with an over/under set at 54.5 points.
