Following a five-game road stretch where Penn State went 3-2, the squad will return home this week.
On Friday, the Nittany Lions will compete in front of their home crowd for the first time since Feb. 24, taking on No. 1 Northwestern at 8 p.m.
Strangely enough, the blue and white has a worse record at home than on the road, sitting at an exact .500 at Panzer Stadium.
A loss on Friday could drop the team below .500 at home for the first time this season, compared to its 3-2 record on the road.
This is very well possible against the Wildcats, as they are currently sitting at an 8-1 record on the season with their only loss to then-No.
