Penn State football has a bye this week after starting the season 3-0. Here are some games you should watch in the Big Ten.

Penn State stumbled into the bye week after a narrow 17-10 victory over Pitt.

The Nittany Lions are 3-0, but Penn State fans aren’t satisfied with their last performance. The defense continues to impress, but the offense remains the biggest question mark heading into Penn State’s first break of the season.

Penn State still lacks consistency from the offensive line and running backs alike. Noah Cain appears to be the best in the quadruple-back timeshare, although Ricky Slade has the most potential and was predicted to be Penn State’s best weapon from the running back position.

Sean Clifford has had a solid start to his tenure as Penn State’s starting quarterback. Clifford has 781 passing yards, a 59 percent completion rate and he’s thrown for six touchdowns without an interception. He’s also rushed for a total of 113 yards through three games.

Penn State’s defense has lived up to expectations early. They’ve only given up a total of 30 points through three games played. Micah Parsons has developed into a great leader and physical presence at the linebacker position.

Let’s get into which games Penn State fans should watch this week during a bye.
