Penn State may be coming off an appearance in the NCAA Tournament last spring, but fans won't recognize much from that run when the Nittany Lions open their season against Delaware State in University Park, Pa., Monday night.

Last year's head coach, Micah Shrewsberry, left for Notre Dame, and with most of the players having graduated or transferred, new coach Mike Rhoades had to build the team through the transfer portal after coming over from VCU.

Nine players transferred into the program, so it might take a while for supporters to recognize the players' names, especially with football season nearing its peak.
