Penn State is taking a brief break from Big Ten play this weekend.
The No. 6 Nittany Lions (5-0, 3-0) will host the UMass Minutemen (1-6) in their final non-conference game of the regular season on Saturday.
James Franklin's team is coming off somewhat of an upset scare. The Nittany Lions fell behind Northwestern 10-3 last week and entered halftime in Evanston, Illinois, tied 10-10. But Penn State flexed its muscles in the second half, pulling away for a 41-13 victory.
With a showdown against No. 3 Ohio State looming, the unbeaten Nittany Lions will be looking to avoid a letdown against the struggling Minutemen.
