Assessing Penn State’s first three games: Many positives, plus a couple of concerns

Penn State is at the quarter pole of its regular season. The Nittany Lions are three wins in, with nine Big Ten Conference contests staring at them the rest of the way.

Unbeaten Oregon (3-0, 1-0) visits Beaver Stadium on Saturday night. James Franklin’s program will face a stiff test against a Ducks team that will play a fourth game today vs. in-state rival Oregon State.
