After playing in temporary homes for the past two seasons, the Northwestern Wildcats debut their brand-new, $875 million, Ryan Field on Friday night, when they host the Penn State Nittany Lions. First-year Penn State coach Matt Campbell faces his first bounce-back opportunity after his team blew a 17-point lead in a Big Ten opening 24-20 loss to Wisconsin last weekend. Northwestern, with first-year offensive coordinator Chip Kelly calling plays for head coach David Braun, opened Big Ten play with a narrow 29-23 defeat at defending national champion Indiana.
