Penn State fans have good reason for excitement as the 2023 season approaches. Could the Nittany Lions be a sleeper contender for the College Football Playoff?

For the first time in forever, Penn State has a solid offensive line headed into the new season, headlined by Olu Fashanu. If the line continues its upward trajectory, running backs Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen figure to have strong sophomore campaigns on the ground.

Ultimately, Penn State’s season will hinge on its performance against Ohio State and Michigan. Watch as we discuss our thoughts on the Nittany Lions in 2023.
