Penn State prepares for Buffalo in final tune-up before Big Ten play
Summary

Penn State will play Buffalo on Saturday in its final tune-up game before starting Big Ten play. Currently, the Nittany Lions are 40.5-point favorites against the Bulls, who are coming off a win over Albany and a loss to FIU. While Penn State's opener against Marshall was dominant, last week's matchup against Temple proved more challenging. The team aims to improve its performance heading into conference play, particularly looking for a clean game and continued development from quarterback Rocco Becht. This matchup at Beaver Stadium will be essential as the team gears up for tougher opponents.
