​It is the beginning of fall in Happy Valley and a ranked opponent is making the trip to Beaver Stadium. That can only mean one thing. It is time for a whiteout game in Happy Valley. Penn State (3-2, 0-2 B1G) hosts No. 17 USC (5-1, 2-1 B1G; No. 19 in AP Top 25) for a primetime game on Saturday night, and the whiteout will be in full effect for one of college football’s best scenes.Penn State has lost each of its first two Big Ten games in the past couple of weeks, including last weekend’s Friday night blowout loss at Northwestern. Penn State is still without key wide receiver Koby Howard, so quarterback Rocco Becht will have to his other options, including tight end Ben Brahmer and wide receivers Brett Eskildsen and Chase Sowell.USC has lost once this season, against Oregon, but faces some concerns with its defense. The Trojans survived a cross-country trip once this season already against Rutgers, but the USC defense had a tough game against a struggling Rutgers offense. The offense has enough firepower at its disposal with the Big Ten’s leading passer, Jayden Maiava, star freshman receiver Kayden Dixon-Wyatt and running back King Miller.Penn State vs. USC ScoreQuarterQ1Q2Q3Q4ScoreUSC—–Penn State—–Penn State vs. USC updates, analysis, highlightsRefresh this page for the latest updates as the Penn State vs. USC game plays out on Saturday evening for updated scores, highlights, and more in-game commentary.Kevin McGuire is the lead writer for Nittany Lions Wire, part of the USA TODAY Network.
