2004 Big 10 Conference Record 2-6
2004 ATS Record: 5-5-1
Returning Starters: 18

Penn St. ended the 2004 on a good note beating Indiana and than crushing Michigan St. and their bowl aspirations with a 37-13 victory. This year the Nittany lions will look to build on that momentum and very well could start the season out 4-0. Only 1 of Penn State’s first 4 opponents had a winning record in 2004 and a 4-0 start would give the Nittany Lions a great shot at returning to a bowl game. They have 18 returning starters, 13 of which are seniors making them a veteran laden ball club. The defense will again be solid, and expect a boost in production on the offensive side of the ball thanks to 2 new freshman wide outs. All in all Penn St. fans have good things to look forward to this year.
