2 Penn State Seniors Trending Up, Another Down Before Ohio State Game

Penn State faces a tough challenge in its remaining five games, starting with two against Indiana, followed by matchups with Michigan State, Nebraska, and Rutgers. The Nittany Lions must win at least three of these games to become bowl eligible. However, even if they qualify, the focus will remain on the search for a new head coach in Happy Valley.

Interim coach Terry Smith said, "Howard and redshirt freshman Tyseer Denmark will see more time in the receiving corps moving forward."
