Penn State plays Minnesota tonight, and we might be getting a snow game.
Well, sort of.
As of 10:30 Saturday morning, AccuWeather projected traces of snow at 8 p.m.
Ok, so it won’t be how it was in East Lansing five years ago, when Penn State’s white jerseys blended in with the weather. It also won’t be line the Penn State-Michigan game in Beaver Stadium in 1995, when fans shoveled snow out of the stands the day before the game, or the 2024 College Football Playoff game against SMU, which was similar. But, what the heck. Snow is snow.
Frankly, snow is hardly the biggest storyline coming into Saturday’s game.
The biggest storyline has been travel.
A nationwide ground stoppage caused Minnesota to turn around while enroute to State College, but ultimately, the Gophers flew in the norm and, from there, made it to Happy Valley.

Penn State is getting into a rhythm, and can keep it going against Minnesota Saturday night at Beaver Stadium.
As Lou Brown said in Major League II: “We won a game yesterday. If we win today, it’s called ‘two in a row.’ And if we win again tomorrow, it’s called a ‘winning streak.’ It has been done before.”
Penn State is in the “two in a row” stage right now, and if Vegas is right, it will become a “winning streak.” Vegas moved the line to 12.5 in favor of Penn State, compared to -9.5 Friday afternoon and -7.5 when the lines opened the previous Sunday.
Penn State-Minnesota is scheduled to begin at 7 on FS1.
