Summary

Jackson Ford has a major opportunity for Penn State against Buffalo. With Max Granville out, the freshman defensive end has a real chance to prove he belongs in the rotation and can be trusted with meaningful snaps before Big Ten play begins. The biggest question isn't Ford's size or athleticism — it's whether he can diagnose plays, handle assignments and show the awareness needed to stay on the field.
