UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (WJAC) — A new era of Penn State football is just days away as head coach Matt Campbell is getting ready for his first game with the Nittany Lions.

Penn State will open the season on Saturday against Marshall, and Coach Campbell used this week's press conference to set the stage for his first game as the Nittany Lions’ newest head coach.

Coach Campbell says Saturday will be a chance to see what this team is really made of.

With a new coaching staff, new players and a new system, he says there’s still a lot to learn.
