The date and time for Penn State’s 2016 Blue-White Game has been released by the athletic department.

The newest squad of Nittany Lions will kick off in Beaver Stadium at 2 p.m. on April 16. Last year, an estimated 68,000 fans were in attendance.

This year’s Blue-White Game will not be televised live, but will be streamed on GoPSUSports.com.

It will be Penn State football fans’ first look at head coach James Franklin’s changes on staff, including offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead, offensive live coach Matt Limegrover, defensive assistant Tim Banks and defensive coordinator Brent Pry (in his new role).

Fans and media alike will also get their first look at the quarterback who will be replacing Christian Hackenberg, who never missed a start during his three-year tenure at Penn State.
