The episode featuring Penn State is scheduled to be the second in the series and will air on Oct. 9. The series will begin on Oct. 2 with Florida. Arizona State will be featured on Oct. 16 with Washington State being the last of the four on Oct. 23.
HBO’s “Hard Knocks” documentary series in which it follows and NFL team during training camp has become quite popular over the years, and this appears to have a similar concept.
It should be interesting television, for sure.
