The Penn State Nittany Lions are off to a fabulous start, but they haven’t played anybody through 2 games, so the jury is still out. The Butler Bulldogs didn’t play anybody either in their season opener, but they’re an experienced roster with some rough riders who won’t be intimated in this spot. Butler should be up for this game, win, lose or draw. Give me the points.
