Penn State has three offensive starters with injury concerns ahead of its Big Ten opener against Wisconsin: receiver Koby Howard and tight end Andrew Rappleyea are questionable after being hurt against Buffalo, while center Brock Riker is listed as probable.
If Rappleyea cannot play, Finn Furmanek and Gabe Burkle are likely to share tight-end duties; the writer expects Zay Robinson to step in for Howard. Howard has quickly developed a rapport with quarterback Rocco Becht, and the writer questions whether Robinson can match his explosiveness.
