Andrel Anthony to Make Return Against Temple; Nic Anderson Out for Season Opener

Penn State Set to Open 2023 Season at Home

Nittany Lions Host Temple on September 1st

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Penn State football will open the 2023 season at home against Temple on September 1st. The Nittany Lions will be looking to start the season strong after finishing 11-2 last year and winning the Rose Bowl.

One of the biggest storylines heading into the season is the return of wide receiver Andrel Anthony. Anthony missed all of last season with a torn ACL but is expected to be back at full strength for the season opener.

However, the Nittany Lions will be without another key player in the season opener. Running back Nic Anderson will miss the game with an undisclosed injury. Anderson is expected to be back at some point during the season, but his absence will be a blow to Penn State's offense.

• Penn State will open the 2023 season at home against Temple on September 1st.
• The Nittany Lions are coming off an 11-2 season and a Rose Bowl victory.
• Wide receiver Andrel Anthony is expected to return from a torn ACL.
• Running back Nic Anderson will miss the season opener with an undisclosed injury.

Despite the loss of Anderson, Penn State is still expected to be a contender in the Big Ten this season. The Nittany Lions have a talented roster led by quarterback Sean Clifford and running back Keyvone Lee.

The season opener against Temple will be a good test for Penn State. The Owls are a solid team that finished 9-4 last season. However, the Nittany Lions should be too much for Temple and should start the season 1-0.
