Penn State football fans get their Nittany Lions back in Beaver Stadium − and on TV − this weekend for their annual spring afternoon scrimmage.
Penn State’s Blue-White Game is coming Saturday. Highlights include following the progress of young, up-and-coming stars and seasoned transfers on both sides of the ball, such as new receiver Julian Fleming.
Quarterbacks Drew Allar, Beau Pribula and rookie Ethan Grunkemeyer will lead a hopefully new-and-improved offense under the guidance of first-year coordinator Andy Kotelnicki.
The Blue-White Game is billed as Penn State University’s unofficial annual spring reunion. In 2023, an estimated 63,000 fans were in attendance − the ninth time in 10 years the game has drawn more than 60,000.
