The Penn State Nittany Lions will take on the Ball State Cardinals at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at home.

It was all tied up nothing to nothing at the half for the Nittany Lions and the Wisconsin Badgers last week, but Penn State stepped up in the second half for a 16-10 victory. WR Jahan Dotson and RB Noah Cain were among the main playmakers for Penn State as the former caught five passes for one TD and 102 yards and the latter punched in one rushing touchdown.

Meanwhile, Ball State had a touchdown and change to spare in a 31-21 win over the Western Illinois Leathernecks last Thursday. WR Justin Hall was the offensive standout of the matchup for Ball State, catching eight passes for two TDs and 137 yards.

Their wins lifted both teams to an identical 1-0. Watch the game and check back on CBS Sports to find out who keeps up the positive energy and who hits a stumbling block.
