Virginia will face Penn State on Saturday for the first time since 2002. The Cavaliers are a 10 point favorite.
The Nittany Lions are coming off a disappointing 24-14 loss to Ohio University in the season opener. Penn State had nine players transfer after unprecedented NCAA Sanctions were handed down in July as a result of the Jerry Sandusky child-sex-abuse scandal.
The UVa players say they won't take the Nittany Lions lightly.
Senior offensive tackle, Oday Aboushi says, "I think they'll come in as an emotional team with a vengeance. They're a great program with great tradition and they've had a lot of great players so we expect a great matchup come Saturday."
Senior defensive lineman, Jake Snyder says, "Its easy to fall into that trip with a team like Ohio that is not in one of the big six conferences but they're a good team they won 10 games last year, we're not overlooking them by any means definitely not Penn State either just because they didn't get a win their opening weekend doesn't mean anything."
Mike London says, "I would hope this game is close to being sold out because of the implications of us trying to be 2-0. I know at Penn State there is a lot of prestige and tradition but we're getting ready for a football team and a football game and not tradition, but our main focus is playing a game and making improvements from this past Saturday."
Saturday's game kicks off at Noon Saturday televised nationally by ABC.
