Today's Penn State football news headlines feature a game-by-game season projection and a spot in a recruiting target's top schools.
ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI) has game-by-game win probabilities listed, and Penn State projects as an early favorite in 11 of 12 games. The only exception is a Nov. 3 road trip to Michigan, which has a 58.2 percent chance of winning the game at Michigan Stadium. The Lions are a 51.4 percent favorite to beat Ohio State at home on Sept. 29 in a key early-season showdown.
