Last week against UCLA, Nick Singleton appeared as questionable on the injury report before kickoff, which led to the Penn State football star missing the matchup last weekend. But against USC, the Nittany Lions will have Singleton back in the lineup to lead the explosive rushing attack for Penn State.

Penn State football is set to kick off the biggest game of the year so far in just a matter of hours. Before kickoff, the Big Ten has released the injury report for both teams, which Nittany Lions will be on the field against the Trojans?

  • Kaden Saunders, WR
  • Cam Wallace, RB
  • Keon Wylie, LB
  • Zuriah Fisher, DE
  • Jake Spencer, WR

Nick Singleton has returned to his form of explosive long runs in 2024. So far this season he has racked up 404 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. He is averaging 7.7 yards per carry as well. Why is this so important today?

USC has lost two games this season. One against Michigan and another against Minnesota which occurred last weekend. Against the Wolverines, USC allowed 290 rushing yards, and against the Golden Gophers, they allowed 193 rushing yards.

Look for a heavy dose of Singleton and Kaytron Allen on Saturday afternoon. Kickoff is slated for 3:30 p.m. on CBS.
