James Peoples confident in Penn State's playoff chances after transfer

Penn State running back James Peoples expressed confidence that his team will make the College Football Playoff this season. Peoples, a transfer from Ohio State, did not see much playing time with the Buckeyes but is motivated to prove himself with the Nittany Lions after the team seeks to recover from a disappointing midseason last year. He emphasized his winning experience from his time at Ohio State, where he was part of the national championship team. Although Penn State does not face Ohio State during the regular season, he looks forward to potentially meeting them in the playoffs. With key running backs having moved on to the NFL, Peoples has an opportunity to earn significant playing time.
