Great breakdown fellas.. Now hold my beer.. West Virginia returns around 70% of their starters from last season while Penn St. returns around 50%. West Virginia has invested a ton into that secondary, they brought in some stud CBs from Northwestern.. I’ve watched film on a lot of these guys and I’m telling y’all this defense is gonna be good.. Ayden Garnes and Kekoura Tarnue are gonna be absolute studs CBs.. LB Josiah Trotter might end up being the best LB we’ve had in 10 years, his brother just got drafted last season. coach Brown is moving our best returning Safety Aubrey Burks to Spear if that tells ya anything.. Our best RB Jaheim white didn’t even play in that game last season.. An upset is very possible in this one I’m tellin y’all
Love it. Cannot wait for this one.
WVU can win-PSU no WR's no downfield passing game-WR's terrible
@thomasorzack5795
WVU can win? Sure. Upsets happen.
“PSU no WR's no downfield passing game-WR's terrible”
This is a living in the past comment. Coach K is a game changer. His O is one of the most explosive.
WVU built their preseason perception (pretense?) on a season playing the bottom of the Big12. Psu isn’t a bottom half team.
Ha, ha... "stud" CBs from NW! Please... that's the team PSU beat 41-13 last season.... even worse that the WVU win. So, how are they gonna help the Mountaineers?😂
@stevegirard-voiceaudiopodcasts
Everything is relative. The CB that transferred out was a low 3* (83), and the 4 that transferred in are higher 3* (86-88), so it should be an upgrade. Not a 4*, which would be the minimum standard for a psu-stud, but still should be better.
WVU will need to throw the ball 🏈 We (WVU) will find out how good our receivers are.
Last year at Penn state both teams ran for 146 yards. Freshman (last year) #22 White didn’t even play yet. Should be a interesting battle. HailWV!
The only team that ran for more yards against PSU than WVU last year was Michigan...
Lol west Virginia is garbage
And, you guys still got curb stomped!!!!
@@kevinchandler179 Curb stomped, huh? What's this? WWE from 2005? People still say that?
@@mrhagerbomb7035 Would you prefer, that my Nittany Lions 🦁 are going beat your asses 38-13??? I can say it any way you want to hear it, and after two weeks from tomorrow except it???
West Virginia is bieng underated and I Love it. Its going to be a special night..
Special noon kickoff 😢
It’s not going to be a special night. Penn state is superior. You’re gonna be heart broken
@@sannadoamytiue6102 well, they aren’t superior this year. They are leaving with an L!
Supeior!! Lol! The team and fans cant wait!!!
Underrated but not by PENN STATE. They know WVU is tough
WVU could very easily upset the Nittany lions- I have this one as my week one upset.
Nice way to lose money
@samsnyder4433
“very easily”?
Now that’s funny. 😄
Lol. Penn State by 50.
@@dgoody84we will 1000% not lose by 50
@@hearthstonebattlegroundsfu1568 51. WE ARE 💪
The difference in this year's game vs. Last year's game? JAHIEM WHITE! that young man alone makes me like WVU's chances a lot more!
Agreed, white gives WVU more explosive juice, and they will need to try to get PSU out of position with given psu’s aggressive style and hit big plays off that. White helps with that compared to Donaldson who is more of the power guy.
@@rocboysfootball Agreed. Excited to see them both play together. Haven't really gotten to see that much yet as when Jahiem came on in the back half of last season CJ was battling injury. Expecting to see some two back sets with them this year tho. The new Penn state OC definitely worries me with what He did the last time he was in Morgantown, Kansas was scoring at will that game! But great breakdown all around guys, enjoyed the video!
Who??????? Us real blue blood program Nittany Lions 🦁 fans never heard of him!@@ Now, reality we have Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen the best damn running back duo in the nation, good luck trying to stop that!!!!
@WVUWILD
“The difference” would imply that there’s only one difference, as opposed to “a difference”, meaning there is more than one.
Coach Kotelnicki is another difference. He had the Jayhawks among the most explosive in the nation last year and that was with mostly 3* talent, compared to all the 4* at psu. Could be lots of fireworks.
Lot's of ppl sleeping on WVU!! This is gonna be a Banger in Morgantown!!
Lots of ‘errs buoyed by a bottom half heavy schedule last year.
PSU isn’t a bottom half team.
2 and a half quarters, maybe!!! Then, you aren't in Wonderland with Alice!!! 38-13 Nittany Lions 🦁 curb stomp!!!
Guys, good job.
Here’s my #1argument for a PSU win: WVU nation is so excited that their teams is bringing back 90% of its ‘23 offense, and 72% of its defense. Why???
Aren’t they the squads that couldn’t get a 2nd TD until the PSU scrubs were in with 4 minutes to go? … and couldn’t stop PSU from scoring 38 pts??
… and with those guys are gonna be a bunch of younger, less experienced guys??
I also don’t care one bit about the other RB White being available this season… PSU played a ton of quick backs last year without much problem.
And oooh, you got 2 DB trans from NW?? Scary.
Isn’t that the team PSU beat 41-13 last year?
I think PSU’s D will be scary again this year, with a better D line… and I feel that Kotelnicki’s O will be much more explosive… and these guys are excited to run it.
What's scary about my Nittany Lions 🦁 is, the new OC is definitely going to get the offense going, and our elite defense is not going to miss a beat!@@
Still so jealous of you luring Coach K away. Even his press conferences were more interesting.
Its def a tough game for WVU and will require them to deploy a more balanced attack on offense. I think Greene takes a big step forward in his second year, no longer throwing the ball to 3 true freshmen which should all improve(Ray, Clement, & Gallanger), White's game expands to also be a threat out of the backfield, Bray & J Robinson WR portal additions offer some meaningful production, Taylor improves and is a dependeable 3rd down option at TE for Greene, and a healthy CJ. I think Greene's production this year takes a big step forward not just because of his individual improvement but also all the talent around him improving.
With as much change to this PSU team(roster, staff, concepts), I think it could be a few qtrs before they find their timing & rhythm. I have WVU winning in a close upset. WVU 34 - PSU 30. I think WVU takes advantage of a slow start for PSU, but PSU come back around the start of the 4th qtr to make it a hard fought game.
WVU returns a lot on defense, and also added some quality pieces in the portal. I think this defense plays much better this year, which is also helped by a balanced offense that will help slow the game down and maintain superior ToP in most games. This game however is not one where WVU can just grind it out in the running game. Theyll need to be more balanced, make some big plays, and maintain good efficiency/consistency.
If this game was played as the 3rd or 4th game of the season I think PSU would win, as I do think this PSU team will continue to improve as the season progresses. However opening week in Morgantown with a new offense and a new defense, while theres is a film advantage for Andy K, can PSU take advantage of that and come out being in sync.
Overall itll be a close game, def one of the best matchups in the first week.
When WVU was balanced on offense they looked awfully good. If Greene can be efficient and they can threaten that aggressive Penn st defense in a variety of ways I think WVU has the chance to put some points on the board and put some pressure on a PSU offense that has to prove they are revamped with kotelnicki taking the wheel. Also a tough environment to break in a new system, I know it’ll be rocking in Morgantown
The WR room wasn’t that bad last year. It was the first part of the season and when they put the younger guys in permanently it got a lot better. Traylon Ray and Hudson Clement aren’t out there dropping balls guys….
@@TheYates27 Totally agree, two of the WRs that played against Penn st left the team right after this game because our freshman beat them out.. We also had a CB that got his job taken after being out of position and giving up 2 TDs in that game. These are things people from outside WVU don’t know. Plus our RB Jaheim White didn’t play that game either.. It’s literally not even the same team
@@BJtheMountaineerguy They think Zach Frazier was the team 🤷♂️
@@TheYates27 Exactly. Don’t get me wrong Frazier was a big loss but we still have a veteran O-line that’s very solid, we all saw it in the UNC game without Frazier
I think he's thinking of the year before last they dropped a bunch. I don't remember a whole lot of drops last year.
I really think they can run on Penn State though!
I believe in WV and I think people will look at the Mountaineers in a different way and no matter your view you don’t no what you got till that first game. We don’t want to run the ball down Penn. St throat but what we do to level the play calls. Just sit down shut up and hold on ppl
Go WVU
We can’t move the ball ? No we won’t just run. We’ll mix it up. We can mix it up. Like this is not a game Penn St. should want to play. Mountaineers 24 - Penn St 21 You heard it here first
If WVU scores more than 14 points this year I will donate my left Kidney. Their O-line is not the same, PSU defensive line is way too overpowering, studs at every level as well
@@PSUSPORTSNOW Bro you’re about to be donating that kidney
@@PSUSPORTSNOW Oh yea ? All they have to do is score more than 14 ? Dumb bet. And you wouldn’t do it anyway. Don’t write checks your ass can’t cash 🤷♂️
@@BJtheMountaineerguy my point is the offense will struggle lol Penn States won’t be as boring as last year. I think if you guys had a decent chance it was last year if it was at ur place
So I don’t want your kidney. I want you to Venmo me $100 if they score 14 or more. I didn’t make this bet or talk about something I haven’t done real homework on so I will not match you. However my word as a man if they score 13 or less I’ll send $30 to a e-wallet of your choosing. Take the bet as it is or leave it idc 🤷♂️
Truth be told, James Franklin is very nervous about this game. He should be.....
Yea very nervous about playing a team the got blown out four times last year lol
@@anthonyr6269 You mean like that 41-39 last second Hail Mary blowout versus Houston?
@cameron77723
Losing to Houston.
Regardless of the rest of the comment - that’s funny.
I am sure Franklin is really worried!!! I mean you guys have obviously dominated the series in history????? Lol 😂😂😂😂WE ARE you aren't
WVU will be hard-pressed to keep PSU under 50 pts.
If the Mountaineers could slay Goliath…let’s face it, Penn St is and always has been WVU’s boogy man. Couches would burn all over the country. I was a middle schooler and in attendance when WVU beat them in 84 and that was nuts.
It’s Morgantown so it’s possible
If these is one things I learned from WVU last year is to not count them out. Week 1 in Morgantown is going to be rocking as well
40 years of dreaming. At least that’s not as bad as dumb and dumber’s “so you’re saying I have a chance?” 😉
Couches in Appalachia might be worried, but not the rest of the country.
As a die hard Nittany Lions 🦁 fan, and the confidence in a lot of W. Virginia fans, I think the 2 most important players will be the ghost transfers named God and Jesus!!!!! Lol 🤦 WE ARE going to curb stomp your asses 38-13!!!!
You guys did your homework! This is gonna be a good one!
Penn State leads the series 49-9-2. PDU has much better talent and a dominating defense. There’s a reason they are a 10.5 point favorite even in Morgantown.
Line is now 10. Rumors it may drop to 9.5. What’s that mean when the line skews downward as you approach game day?
The line doesn't mean shit!!!! It could drop to 1 point for all of us Nittany Lions 🦁 fans care!!!!! 38-13 Nittany Lions 🦁!!!! WE ARE 🏈 Unrivaled
@cameron77723
“What’s that mean when the line skews downward as you approach game day?”
It means a fan base has been drinking too much, moonshine, koolaid, or something, and don’t realize the schedule this year isn’t filled with bottom half teams.
F all the doubters. Let’s gooooo Mountaineers !!!
Greene mistake-prone? He threw 4 picks last year and one hit his receiver's hands.
and he only got sacked 4 times lol. dude has no idea what he's talking about.
They have no clue, how much heat my Nittany Lions are going to bring!!!!@
@kevinchandler179 I daresay Greene is the best qb you guys will face all season by a good margin. Should be fun.
Picks are the only mistakes a QB can make. Being off target so much that no one catches the pass is also a mistake.
What washis completion percentage? 50-something. That’s a lot of mistakes even if receivers are dropping a lot.
@@johnlee7085 they're clearly referring to turnovers. Which makes it in line with pretty much everything they said, being they don't really know anything about WV
49-9 series record
Wvu has plenty of fans, but cmon.
WVU had a really good O-line last year, they lose 3 starters. Will be interesting to see how they handle Penn States deep D-line. Only chance WVU has is if Penn States offense is worse than last years somehow and I think it will be much more explosive and aggressive with new OC Andy Kotelnicki, because I don't see WVU moving the ball on offense much at all. Excited to go to this game and see how the energy compares to Penn State!
Penn State wins 38-13
@@PSUSPORTSNOW Nah we only lost 2 starters on the O-line.. We have all veterans returning that’s had lots of playing time.
@@BJtheMountaineerguy I guess it is only two. Still don’t think they will be what they were last year. I really think you had a top ten O-line last year.
@@PSUSPORTSNOW go check out the UNC bowl game, they played fine without those guys
@@BJtheMountaineerguy respectfully, Penn State and UNC defenses are night and day. UNC defense last year wasn’t top 70, Penn State was anywhere from 1-3
Penn state now has the best offensive coordinator in all of football. watch out
This is a really big storyline that not many are talking about. Excited to see the new offense.
So maybe it'll take a game or two to click?
Let's Gooooooooo
Mountaineers!!!!!!
@@homework1167 He is really good I agree. hopefully he waits until after the WVU game to pull out all his tricks lol
Penn State does not have Daniels as their QB.
Coach K has done it without JD6. In fact, most of his accomplishments have been without him. He’s done it run heavy and pass heavy. They probably won’t use “Smoke Break” the first week, but there’s plenty. It is also a really easy install so after a spring and preseason, there’ll be plenty.
Franklin might not have beaten the big 2, but he/they have certainly lived up to expectations beating the rest.
WVU wins 31-24
The real thing is, I respect W. Virginia program, I am just busting your balls, but the truth is, both sides players and coaches don't listen to our bullshit and both will be ready to play and not scared or anything!!! It's the first game of the year, so definitely going to be close for the first half at least!!!
PSU fan. Total respect for WV. In fact, I started following them after that game and became a fan last year. Great potential with Greene at the helm. I don't think WV D will be able to handle Andy K. and his creativity. We still have lots of question marks at WR but our D should be top 5 again. 34-16 is my prediction.
🤝🤝
Coach K running the offense is a game changer for this team. Nobody seems to be talking about it, but if he can get the most out of this PSU offense we are looking at one of the most dangerous teams in the country.
Coach K fan.
WR might feel like a question mark for psu, but I’m guessing Coach K thinks they’re an upgrade.
West Virginia 20, Penn State 12!
Sept 1 wvu fans are gonna be screaming fire brown
Lets go Mountaineers!
Lee Kpogba couldn’t cover worth a shit. Our LB’s are young and much more Athletic…
WVU ran for more yards last year against Penn then anyone else that they played
And it got them 15 pts?
Got double that to have a chance or maybe have a passing game too.
WVU 28-20

We all know Penn state’s road numbers under James Franklin in the past struggles but Penn state will steam roll WVU… I already have Penn state ml in this game in multiple parlays
Penn st will win, but it can either be close or a blow out though. Who knows
@@brettk9316then you woke up that pennstate bums are on a down year🤣🤣
I won't be shocked if Penn State wins, but steam roll? First game of the year coming off a great season, the Mountaineers and Milan Puskar Stadium are going to be juiced. Penn State didn't really start turning it up on an untested WVU team in Beaver Stadium until the 4th quarter last year. Got a slice of humble pie waiting for August 31st, I'll even keep it warm for you!
Why didn't you just pour gasoline on your money and at least stay warm?

Among the best linemen in the country according to some sources but one lineman is not going to be decisive.
@@johnlee7085 What about Tomas Rimac, who was a freshman all American. Or Xavier Bausley who was a freshman all American. Or TJ Yates and Jacqui Hubbard both multi-season Starters and solid players ? That do anything for you ? WVU is fucking stacked and I LOVE that you all refuse to do enough homework to see it ! I get it it’s a lot of work diving into a team you don’t care about but I break down all our opponents. Penn St is a hell of a football team. But so are we. This “ no path to victory “ nonsense is just that. Are the odds in our favor ? I don’t think so. But they aren’t that far off. I give WVU a 40 % chance of winning this game.
Lifelong Penn State fan,age 60. This is a great test for us. I've been preaching for months that WVU is a legit contender for a league title. Morgantown is a hornets nest and we know that (least we older ones do,lol). I've also said that WVU's offense will carry this team for a few games and once the defense catches up,look out. I truly believe that. That all being said, Penn State wins this game in the fourth quarter,35-21. Can't wait to get started!
I am a die hard Nittany Lions 🦁 fan forever, you do realize your saying W. Virginia contender for the weak ass Big 12???? Lol 😂😂😂😂😂WE ARE
Mature comments about this game unlike other comments I see that is just based on love for your team. I’m flipping a coin in this game. As a WVU fan I know I’m too optimistic. It’s Morgantown this year and you’re right…a hornets nest. I predict it being the best game to watch week 1.
@@cameron77723 I respect you sir, being a die hard Nittany Lions 🦁 fan, but buddy if you are flipping a coin and thinking your team is good enough to have confidence to say it is a toss up, then well good luck buddy, your going to need it!!!! WE ARE 🏈 Unrivaled 38-13
@kevinchandler17
W. Virginia is NOT a contender for the Big 12, and most of their fans seem whiny about it. They beat most of the bottom half teams last season and think that suddenly makes them legit. Unfortunately, they only play a couple this season so reality will likely bite them when they only miss Utah and play every other top half team. They’ll be lucky to split them even in the weak azz league.

Can u hear the words that is coming out of my MOUTH!!!!! WVU will win this game. U guys are missing what we r seeing. Not gonna point out the obvious to us wvu fans. Too much too mention. Wvu is way better than u know. U dont see psu fans here like we r. There is a reason. Psu fans know they r in trouble. They r nervous. Keeping there mouths shut.
Nervous!!!! My Nittany Lions 🦁 are going curb stomp W. Virginia 38-13!!!
Man, we should just cancel the season and award the W. Virginia team the national title???? Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hard to believe you’ll be that much better than last year. Greene has a ceiling & he’s already hit it.
One great center didn’t help your O last year, one great tackle won’t do it this year.
PSU faced a bunch of great backs last year, so we’re not overly concerned about White being back.
You’re returning 72% of a
D that gave up 38 pts to us last year… so who cares.
You’ve pulled in 2 DBs from Northwestern - so?
We beat them 41-13 last year, so we’re not exactly shakin’.
We have reloaded, with perhaps more depth than last year.
So forgive me for having this strong feeling that you’re gonna have a tough time scoring 20, and keeping us under 50.
@@stevegirard-voiceaudiopodcasts Very good points!!!! WE ARE
Penn state will win. Not because their better, but because we have Neal Brownspot as a coach.
