Summary
- Penn State football team returning key players, including QB Drew Allar
- Expectations are high as Penn State tops preseason Big Ten media poll
- Colin Cowherd predicts Penn State will face Texas in the national championship
As the 2023 college football season approaches, the Penn State Nittany Lions are generating significant buzz. The team made its first appearance in the College Football Playoff last year and is now bringing back a wealth of talent, including experienced quarterback Drew Allar.
Penn State's strong roster has earned the team the top spot in the preseason Big Ten media poll, and they are expected to be ranked in the top-five when the AP Poll is released in the coming weeks. Head coach James Franklin has built an impressive program, and analyst Colin Cowherd is going so far as to predict a national championship appearance for the Nittany Lions.
Cowherd believes Penn State will face off against Texas in the title game, stating that the team will "look like an SEC offense and defense six years ago." With the Big Ten producing the last two national champions, the conference appears poised for continued success, and Penn State is at the forefront of that charge.
