Penn State takes on Michigan this Saturday, in case anyone was wondering.

During a normal year – not 2020 – this B1G East matchup would be one of the most watched games of the year. This probably won’t be the case on Saturday, in fact, it will likely not even be close to being one of the most watched on the day.

The Wolverines and the Nittany Lions, two of the most prominent programs in the B1G, both will take the field this weekend with losing records, for the first time ever.

Penn State head coach Mel Tucker has to answer for his team having its worst start, 0-5, in program history. The Nittany Lions had gone 42-11 over its previous four seasons and traditionally looked forward to playing on New Year’s Day around this time of year.

Tucker talked about his team’s need to get better, as well as some of the issues with this difficult season during his weekly press conference on Tuesday.
