The Penn State Nittany Lions need to improve this season under head coach James Franklin, but it won't be easy. The 2016 Penn State Nittany Lions Football Schedule has a tough second half, which includes three road games plus home tilts against Ohio State and Michigan State.

2015 record: 7-6, 4-4 B1G

2016 season win total: 6.5 wins (via South Point in Las Vegas)

The Nittany Lions are replacing the school's all-time passing leader in Christian Hackenberg, but they do bring back nine starters on offense, including a good receiving corps. The past two seasons have seen Penn State finish 7-6 under Franklin despite hot starts. The schedule features some tough games early this season and Penn State is going to have to play well in order to survive the second half of its schedule.
