In case you haven’t heard the news yet, Penn State football has a bye this week.

With a Drew Allar-sized hole in your heart, you might be feeling down this weekend, like something is missing from your fall semester routine. While we can’t whip a home football game out of thin air, we can make a playlist if you’re in need of a quick bye week mood boost.

With songs like “Lose Control” by Teddy Swims and “Paper Planes” by M.I.A., we tried to include a mix of songs that will keep things upbeat and keep your mind off of the fact that you haven’t had a chicken basket in almost two whole weeks. Folks are starving out here.

Put this playlist on blast, rest up, and get ready to roll back into Beaver Stadium in just one week.
