BWI Live: A Penn State football podcast from Blue White Illustrated

Penn State opened the Matt Campbell era with a clean, dominant 45-0 win over Marshall, and we're breaking down what stood out.   Koby Howard had a breakout performance — 161 yards and five explosive plays — and we discuss his growth in consistency and ball security. We also dig into the run game's room for improvement with Carson Hansen and James Peoples, and a front seven that flashed real promise led by Max Granville and Caleb Bacon, even without piling up sacks. Finally, we discuss why building depth and confidence now matters as Penn State heads to Temple in week two.   0:00 – Intro & Overall Reaction to a "Clean" 45-0 Win 9:31 – Koby Howard's Breakout Game & Ball Security Growth 17:30 – Run Game Review & Defense Breakdown: Front Seven Standouts 27:34 – Building Depth Heading Into Week Two & a Temple Preview   Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqK   Check out the site too! - https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/?utm_source=publisher&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=subscriber_referral&ref=418462   Get 20% off and free shipping at Fanatics with our affiliate link: https://fanatics.93n6tx.net/OeZg2z   Use Code BWI20 to get 20 percent off Rhoback’s Gameday Collection: https://rhoback.com/collections/pennsylvania-state-university-licensed-collection   Want breaking news like this delivered straight to your inbox for FREE?

Penn State football emphatically opened the Matt Campbell era with a dominant win over Marshall.   We break down sophomore Kobe Howard's breakout performance — 161 yards and a touchdown on six catches — and how Penn State got him so open in the passing attack. We also cover why that success came at the expense of the ground game, with Carson Hansen held to 4.1 yards per carry at halftime. On defense, D'Anton Lynn put on a clinic, generating eight tackles for loss and seven QB hits while containing Carlos Del Rio-Wilson as a runner. We highlight the players who made plays, discuss what happened to Zion Tracy and Marcus Neal, hand out our defensive player of the game, and look ahead to Temple.   0:00 – Instant Reaction: Penn State Shuts Out Marshall 45-0 5:07 – D'Anton Lynn's Option Defense & Kobe Howard's Breakout Game 17:07 – Chat Reaction: James Franklin Comparisons & Lynn's Multiple Fronts 22:47 – Offensive Line Evaluation: Donkoh, Cousins & Burh 30:37 – Defensive Player of the Game: Caleb Bacon's Dominant Day 45:03 – Running Back Evaluation: James Peoples, Hansen & Quinton Martin 49:35 – Safety Rotation Breakdown: Marcus Neal, Zion Tracy & Jeremiah Cooper 54:21 – Cam Wallace's Comeback & Comparing Lynn to Manny Diaz 59:12 – Closing Thoughts & Looking Ahead to Temple   Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqK   Check out the site too! - https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/?utm_source=publisher&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=subscriber_referral&ref=418462   Get 20% off and free shipping at Fanatics with our affiliate link: https://fanatics.93n6tx.net/OeZg2z   Use Code BWI20 to get 20 percent off Rhoback’s Gameday Collection: https://rhoback.com/collections/pennsylvania-state-university-licensed-collection   Want breaking news like this delivered straight to your inbox for FREE?

Penn State head coach Matt Campbell spoke to the media on Tuesday morning, minutes after his team finished up practice for the day. The team is one day away from concluding four weeks of training camp, and Campbell spent his 12 minutes with the media discussing what he’s learned about his team — and, importantly, what he doesn’t know about his team — heading into the season opener against Marshall on Sept. 5. On Today’s BWI Live show, we’ll do the same thing. We’ll recap Campbell’s press conference and the notable quotes he gave. Then, we’ll tell Penn State fans what big-picture things we’ve learned about the team through camp.  Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqK Check out the site too! - https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/?utm_source=publisher&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=subscriber_referral&ref=418462 Lusk and associates: https://www.luskandassociates.com/area-info/state-college/ Use our code for 10% off your next SeatGeek order*: https://seatgeek.onelink.me/RrnK/BWI Sponsored by SeatGeek. *Restrictions apply.

Penn State wrestling Class of 2026 signee Jayden James will compete at the U20 Worlds Championships this weekend in Slovakia. The Delbarton, N.J., standout is the Team USA rep at 74 kilograms (163.1 pounds). He seeks his second age-group World title after winning gold at U17s last summer in Greece. James will take the mat sometime after 4 a.m. ET on Saturday. His first opponent will be Samuel Vokal of Slovakia. The future Penn State wrestler will be heavily favored to win that match. Assuming he does, James would face former Delbarton teammate Alessio Perentin in the Round of 16. The Cornell Class of 2026 signee is Italy's U20 rep after winning its national tournament earlier this year. Whoever wins that match would then face a to-be-determined opponent in the quarterfinals.

Over the first two weeks of Penn State football’s fall camp, we got to see the team practice four times. It was an incredible amount of access compared to years past and gave us a strong insight into the team’s progress through the first half of camp. Now that it’s over, we have a good picture and enough information to start judging how camp has gone. Today, we’re ranking the players with the most stock up and the most stock down. We’ll discuss what we know and how it affects the team. We’ll also discuss what we don’t know about the team in the second half of today’s show. What’s still left to learn?

Three days into Penn State's fall training camp, we're breaking down the three biggest things we've learned so far. No. 3: Caleb Bacon has spent the first week of camp working at defensive end instead of linebacker. Matt Campbell explains the multiplicity behind the move. No. 2: Tony Rojas and Andrew Rapp are both back from injury and making their presence felt immediately — Rojas has been clogging up the middle of the field in coverage, and Rapp looks like the most physical version of himself in years. No. 1: the receiver room remains talented but unproven, and we break down exactly where that group stands heading into Monday's first padded practice. 0:00 – Intro & Caleb Bacon's Surprise Move to Defensive End (No. 3) 5:50 – Tony Rojas & Andrew Rapp's Returns Make an Impact (No. 2) 13:59 – The Penn State Receiver Room's Prove-It Mode (No. 1) 19:12 – Looking Ahead: Pads Go On Monday Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqK Check out the site too! - https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/?utm_source=publisher&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=subscriber_referral&ref=418462 Get 20% off and free shipping at Fanatics with our affiliate link: https://fanatics.93n6tx.net/OeZg2z Use Code BWI20 to get 20 percent off Rhoback’s Gameday Collection: https://rhoback.com/collections/pennsylvania-state-university-licensed-collection Want breaking news like this delivered straight to your inbox for FREE?

We’ll discuss his comments and then rank the class ourselves by giving out a grade for each position. Where does this group compare to previous years? Where does it fall apart? We’ll discuss.

Penn State wrestling had an outstanding weekend at Final X in Newark — sending five wrestlers to the 2026 Senior World Wrestling Championships in Kazakhstan this October. Greg Pickel joins Thomas Frank Carr to break down every result, starting with Marcus Blaze's clutch win at 61kg over Jax Forrest of Oklahoma State, earned on a late takedown at the edge of the mat in round three. They also cover Luke Littledahl's competitive series loss to Spencer Lee — and why the result says more about Spencer Lee's level than any deficiency in Littledahl heading into his junior season. Then a full breakdown of Penn State's complete world team haul and what to watch for when competition begins in October. The show closes on a significant rule change: the five-for-five eligibility rule now appears to eliminate redshirts, Olympic redshirts, and medical waivers — and what that means for how Penn State constructs its lineup going forward is a conversation the program has been having for longer than most fans realize.

The Penn State football recruiting class of 2027 was hit with another decommitment on Monday, and this is the biggest blow yet.

What sort of impact did the team make on the national prospects who joined them for the weekend? We’ll also discuss the wildcards and commitment from Elijah Guertin on Sunday.

Penn State football fills one of its biggest needs in the 2027 class as defensive end Elijah Guertin of Bishop Hendricken High School in Warwick, Rhode Island commits to the Nittany Lions. At 6'5" and 250 pounds, Guertin fits exactly the mold Danton Lynn has been building toward — a big, versatile defensive end who can play every down and develop into a franchise-level pass rusher. Sean Fitz breaks down how the recruitment unfolded, why Penn State beat out Florida and Tennessee, and why Guertin's ranking undersells what he actually is. Then Thomas Frank Carr takes you to the film room for a full breakdown of what makes Guertin special — and why his physical potential puts him in the same conversation as players like Abraham Cissé and Luke Waffle at the college level. 00:00:10 - Elijah Guertin Commits to Penn State: The Announcement 00:01:38 - Why Rhode Island Prospects Go Under the Radar 00:04:05 - How Penn State Beat Florida & Tennessee for Guertin 00:07:18 - Film Room: What Makes Guertin a Potential Franchise DE 00:11:17 - Where Guertin Fits Penn State's Defensive End Blueprint 00:15:15 - What's Next for Penn State's 2027 Class Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqK Check out the site too! - https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/ Get 20% off and free shipping at Fanatics with our affiliate link: https://fanatics.93n6tx.net/OeZg2z Use Code BWI20 to get 20 percent off Rhoback’s Gameday Collection: https://rhoback.com/collections/pennsylvania-state-university-licensed-collection Want breaking news like this delivered straight to your inbox for FREE?

Penn State football adds another piece to its 2027 class as safety Caleb Cooper of Providence Day High School in Charlotte, North Carolina commits to the Nittany Lions! Cooper is a 5'11" 205-pound safety with a 4.45 forty and a 10-foot broad jump — and his junior season numbers tell the story: 97 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, 6 pass deflections, and an interception. Ryan Snyder breaks down the recruitment story — including how Deon Broomfield got Cooper on campus within 24 hours of reaching out — and what it was about Penn State that sealed the deal. Then Thomas Frank Carr takes you to the film room for a full breakdown of what makes Cooper special, where he needs to develop, and exactly what Penn State is getting in the safety room. 00:00:10 - Caleb Cooper Commits to Penn State 00:00:34 - Who Is Caleb Cooper?

One of the longest-running college football podcasters in the country joins BWI for a full Penn State 2026 preview. Ty Hildenbrandt of the Solid Verbal — a Penn State graduate who has been doing the show since 2008 — sits down with Thomas Frank Carr to break down everything you need to know about the Nittany Lions heading into Matt Campbell's first season. Ty makes the case that Penn State is genuinely dangerous this year — a veteran roster, a favorable schedule, and a quarterback in Rocco Becht who may be the most experienced signal-caller in all of FBS. He projects Penn State going 5-0 before their first true test against USC at home, then a road trip to Michigan the following week. From there, the conversation covers the receiver room, Ben Bramer and the tight end engine, how to evaluate Michigan under Kyle Whittingham, USC's defense problem under Lincoln Riley, and where Penn State fits in the national playoff picture. 00:00:00 - Cold Open: Ty's Penn State Playoff Prediction 00:01:35 - Introducing Ty Hildebrandt of the Solid Verbal 00:02:20 - Ty's Penn State Journey: From Notre Dame Fan to Nittany Lion 00:03:37 - Was It Time for James Franklin to Go? 00:04:16 - How Campbell Fell Into Penn State's Lap 00:04:50 - Big 12 Offense at Penn State: Will the Translation Work? 00:05:57 - Rocco Becht: The Most Experienced QB in All of FBS? 00:06:50 - Building the Scheme Around the Player, Not Vice Versa 00:07:36 - Campbell Gets More With Less: His Biggest Coaching Strength 00:08:07 - Iowa State's Offense Left You Wanting — Will That Change? 00:08:54 - The Blended Family Roster: How It All Comes Together 00:09:43 - Campbell as a QB Developer: The Purdy & Rocco Template 00:10:21 - Rocco vs. Drew Allar: Two Very Different Situations 00:11:54 - Why Rocco Is the Leader: He Knows the System Cold 00:12:56 - James Franklin Just Wasn't Good at Developing QBs 00:13:51 - Sponsor: Way Fruit Farm 00:14:27 - D'Anton Lynn on Defense: Ty's Early Assessment 00:15:23 - Penn State's Defense: Better the Further Back You Go 00:16:47 - The New Defensive Line Template: Size Over Speed Rushers 00:19:00 - Schedule Breakdown: The Three Games That Matter 00:19:31 - Ty's Full Penn State 2026 Projection 00:22:23 - Carson Hansen as a Bowling Ball: What the Offense Will Look Like 00:23:31 - The Receiver Room & Why the Tight End Is the Engine 00:25:05 - Ben Brahmer & the Tight End Room: The Offense Runs Here 00:26:21 - Michigan Under Whittingham: How Beatable Are They? 00:27:14 - Bryce Underwood's Spring Game & What It Signals 00:30:03 - USC Preview: Lincoln Riley's Defense Problem & Gary Patterson 00:32:42 - 10-2 Might Not Make the Playoff: The Crowded Big Ten Problem 00:33:28 - National Playoff Picture: Ohio State, Oregon, Notre Dame & the Big 12 00:36:23 - How Ty Builds His Team Previews in the Portal Era 00:38:54 - Where Penn State Ranks in the Big Ten Tier System 00:39:16 - Washington as a Dark Horse: Most Underrated Big Ten Team? 00:40:12 - Brendan Sorsbu Ruling: A Really Bad Precedent for College Football 00:42:07 - Gambling in College Football: The Pervasive Culture Problem 00:44:25 - Where to Find the Solid Verbal Podcast Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqK Check out the site too! - https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/ Get 20% off and free shipping at Fanatics with our affiliate link: https://fanatics.93n6tx.net/OeZg2z Use Code BWI20 to get 20 percent off Rhoback’s Gameday Collection: https://rhoback.com/collections/pennsylvania-state-university-licensed-collection Want breaking news like this delivered straight to your inbox for FREE?

The Penn State football team is now in its summer work phase, following its return from break in late May. While important things are happening on campus with both the team and recruiting, we’re taking today to look at the bigger picture. Last week, the United States Senate held a hearing on the future of college football as part of its proposed legislation to govern the sport. Reporter Nate Bauer watched that hearing and has been writing about it over the last several days. Today, we’ll discuss the situation facing the sport and what needs to be done in order to save it. We’ll also discuss the current Penn State Nittany Lions’ chances of putting together a strong season by looking at their veteran depth.  We’ll also take your questions throughout the show in the BWI Mailbag! Join us live during the hour-long converation to ask your questions. If you want to know anything about the latest recruiting news, you can ask us in the live chat.  Experience article:  https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/news/despite-massive-roster-overhaul-penn-state-ranks-among-nations-most-experienced-teams/ 00:00:11 - Intro: This Week's Schedule & What to Expect 00:00:38 - Why We're Talking About College Football's Future Today 00:03:24 - Penn State's Veteran Roster: How Experience Was Built Intentionally 00:04:53 - CBS Sports Rankings: Penn State 17th in Roster Experience Nationally 00:05:54 - Ty Hildebrandt Preview: Penn State's Schedule & Playoff Outlook 00:10:00 - What Experience Buys a First-Year Coach Like Matt Campbell 00:12:48 - The Offensive Line Question: Talent vs. Readiness 00:20:00 - Transitioning to the Big Picture: College Football's Revenue Crisis 00:28:48 - The Senate Hearing: It's a Revenue Problem, Not Just a Rules Problem 00:29:53 - The $20.5 Million Cap Nobody Is Following 00:33:32 - TFC's Take: We're Competing at money, Not Football 00:36:34 - The Salary Cap Argument: Why Rules Make Sports Interesting 00:40:53 - How Is Penn State Set Up for This New Era? 00:41:45 - Penn State's Infrastructure Advantage: How It Was Built 00:43:15 - CFP Expansion to 24 Teams: Revenue Solution or Golden Goose Killer? 00:54:47 - BWI Mailbag: USC, Michigan or Washington — Which Win Matters Most? 00:58:18 - Mailbag: Which Position Group Are You Most Concerned About? 01:00:17 - Mailbag: The Brennan Sourcey Situation & Big Ten vs. Texas Tech 01:01:28 - Should There Be Consequences for Rule Breakers in College Football? 01:05:43 - Final Agreement: Rules Only Work If There Are Consequences  Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqK Check out the site too! - https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/ Get 20% off and free shipping at Fanatics with our affiliate link: https://fanatics.93n6tx.net/OeZg2z Use Code BWI20 to get 20 percent off Rhoback’s Gameday Collection: https://rhoback.com/collections/pennsylvania-state-university-licensed-collection Want breaking news like this delivered straight to your inbox for FREE?

National college football insider Pete Nakos of On3 joins Thomas Frank Carr for his second appearance on the BWI YouTube channel — and he comes with news Penn State fans need to hear. Chaz Coleman's future at Tennessee is seriously in doubt, and Pete breaks down exactly where things stand, what Tennessee has done to try to support him, and whether there is any realistic path for Coleman to get back on a college football field in 2026. Then Pete and TFC go deep on the Penn State roster — from Rocco Becht's spring role despite his shoulder injury, to why Rocco chose Penn State over significant Big Ten and SEC interest, to the national media's growing belief that this Penn State team has real playoff potential in Year One under Matt Campbell. They also break down Penn State's two biggest regular season tests — USC and Michigan — with Pete giving his national perspective on Lincoln Riley's must-win year with the Trojans and what Kyle Whittingham brings to Ann Arbor.

Cael Sanderson has done it again. The Penn State wrestling head coach is the Open Mat Division I Coach of the Year — and at this point, the only real question is when they name the award after him. Mitchell Mesenbrink adds the Hodge Trophy to his national championship, capping one of the most dominant individual seasons in college wrestling history. Greg Pickel joins Thomas Frank Carr to break it all down, plus preview what's coming up for Penn State's wrestlers on the international stage this summer. Final X is set, U20 Nationals are this weekend, and U23 Nationals are right around the corner.

Penn State football enters the summer with a reasonably strong indication of where the roster stands after a good month and a half of practice during the spring. Now, the staff will sit down and review what they learned about the team over that timeframe to build the offense around its best players. We also learned this spring that the staff routinely ranks the best players on the offensive side of the ball to remind the group of who they should be building around.  Today, we’ll do the same thing.

Penn State football adds another piece to an already loaded 2027 class as defensive tackle Andy Paiva from Skyline High School in Draper, Utah commits to the Nittany Lions! At 6'3" and 325 pounds, Paiva is a rare true nose tackle prospect — and Ikaika Malloe traveled all the way to Utah to get his guy. Sean Fitz breaks down how the recruitment unfolded, why Penn State beat out Oregon and Arizona, and how Paiva fits alongside Stanley Montgomery on the defensive tackle board. Then Thomas Frank Carr takes you into the film room for a full breakdown of what makes Paiva special, where he needs to develop, and exactly what Penn State is getting in the middle of their defensive line.

Penn State football is in its first year under new head coach Matt Campbell, and unlike some coaching changes, this doesn’t feel like a rebuild for the Nittany Lions. Despite the turnover and turmoil of November and December in 2025, the team emerged on the other side with a blended roster of players from both Iowa State and Penn State heading into 2026. Campbell sat down with On3 recently to discuss his view of the program and team building. Can Penn State emulate Indiana’s success on its way to a National Championship? We’ll discuss that idea, plus discuss how they can get it done on the field with the new offense under Taylor Mouser. We’ll also discuss your thoughts and questions for this week on today’s BWI Mailbag. Join the show today at 10 a.m. to be part of the action!

Penn State wrestling's off-season is anything but quiet. Lucas Cochrane enters the transfer portal as the only Lion to move on during the window.

The Penn State Nittany Lions Football team concluded spring football on Saturday with the annual Blue-White event. The practice was held inside Beaver Stadium, which itself is a construction site with the west side being blocked off for the day’s events. It was also held in a 50-degree downpour, which limited the attendance. Today, we’ll spend the show discussing what we saw and learned from the practice. Join us for 60 minutes of Penn State football talk, including a new commitment to the recruiting class and dissecting what head coach Matt Campbell had to say afterward.  Join us live today at 10 a.m. on YouTube as we discuss all of that, plus answer your questions on today’s show! For fans of the show, we are now returning to a 10 a.m. airtime for the rest of the summer. When the team reconvenes, we’ll switch back to a 2 pm air time for Fall camp and the season.

More than 10 members of the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club, including many who are also on the current team, will compete in the senior men's freestyle division at the US Open on Friday and Saturday to try and claim a spot at Final X, which is the event that ultimately sets this year's Team USA that will compete at Senior Worlds later this year.

The Blue-White game is this weekend, and for once, that’s not the biggest news in Penn State football recruiting leading up to the game. The team offered three-star quarterback Will Wood this week after a marathon recruitment of four-star Peter Bourque. Does that signal thunderclouds on the horizon for Bourque’s recruitment? Or is there something else going on with the team’s 2027 quarterback recruiting?  We’re discussing that, plus why the Blue-White Game isn’t a big deal this year for recruiting efforts. Finally, we’ll discuss Ryan Snyder’s recruiting conversations from last week and give you a heads up on the latest recruiting visits going on this week.

Penn State football is in the final stretch of spring practice after Tuesday morning’s workout, with just four practices left.

We’ll go “Between the Lines” of Campbell and defensive coordiantor D’Anton Lynn’s comments to the media, plus we’ll discuss which players at standing out so far through camp.  We’ll also take your questions and comments throughout the show to discuss what’s on your mind as spring football heads towards the Blue-White Game.

Campbell spoke for roughly ten minutes, and we’ll cover the most important replies he gave the media, plus we’ll play them for you on the show!  Today, we’ll discuss the Penn State defensive line.

Campbell spoke about how much they’ve been able to do with the senior passer so far.  Plus, we’ll discuss the running back battle and how it’s shaping up this spring. Of course, we’ll have a special guest appearance from Lynn to discuss his comments about the defense so far through spring practice.  Which Penn State players are standing out through camp  Next, we’ll discuss the players who have made noise so far through camp.

The Penn State Nittany Lions football team is now halfway through spring football. The team is now transitioning to the second half of its first set of practices under new head coach Matt Campbell, and we’re discussing that on today’s show. So far, we’ve discussed plenty of young players through the first half of camp. From young wide receivers stepping in for injured players, to the team’s third-string quarterback, there are names you are hearing now who may disappear over time as players become healthy. But which ones have a chance to stick in the lineup thanks to this work? We’re discussing that, plus the latest recruiting news, and a special preview of film breakdown on today’s show.  Join us live at 2 pm with your thoughts and questions as well! We’ll be taking your questions live on the show throughout our hour-long Penn State football discussion.  Want to get the latest news when things break?

The team will host the media for a full open practice, and we’ll be there to take it in.  Next, we’ll transition into today’s main topic. Penn State’s offense has a good number of players who we expect to start this fall, yet are injured during the spring. We’ll discuss the players who are having a big impact on camp so far and have a chance to transition that into a role with the team this fall. We’ll also sort through the names that may fade into the background once the team fully comes together and players return from rehab.  We’ll discuss the situation at quarterback and receiver, where the team has been hit the hardest. We’ll discuss key players at tight end and the battle for playing time at tackle before switching to the defensive side of the ball.  Finally, we’ll close up our discussion about the team by giving you a preview of our latest film breakdown at Blue White Illustrated. We dove into the film to discuss why Campbell gave defensive back Zion Tracy so much praise during his opening press conference this spring.  Weekend recruiting update  Finally, we’ll close out the show by discussing the latest news on the recruiting front, which dominated the conversation this weekend. Penn State got two more commitments on Saturday. Are they poised to get more this week? We’re discussing the reaction to Penn State’s biggest recruiting weekend of the spring and what fans should know about the team’s push to catch up in the Class of 2027.  0:00 Intro — Opportunity Is Now Here for Depth Players 1:49 The Spring Quarterback Picture — Who's Getting Reps? 9:52 Fact or Fiction WR: Karon Brookins, Zay Robinson, and Koby Howard  17:25 Fact or Fiction TE: Cooper Alexander and the Tight End Competition 21:26 Sponsor — Liberty Lumber Products 23:22 Fact or Fiction RB: Quinton Martin and the Running Back Competition 27:13 Fact or Fiction OL 37:09 Subscribe — Like the Video to Help the Algorithm 39:07 Fact or Fiction: D-Line Rotation  45:31 Fact or Fiction: LB 49:32 Fact or Fiction CB  53:27 Fact or Fiction: Safety Room — Jamison Payton, Jeremiah Cooper and the Flux 55:41 Film Breakdown — Zion Tracy Making Plays on the Ball 1:01:21 Recruiting Update — Landon Blum, Blattner Measurements and What's Next   Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqK Check out the site too! - https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/ Get 20% off and free shipping at Fanatics with our affiliate link: https://fanatics.93n6tx.net/OeZg2z Use Code PSU20 to get 20 percent off Rhoback’s Gameday Collection: https://rhoback.com/collections/pennsylvania-state-university-licensed-collection Want breaking news like this delivered straight to your inbox for FREE?

Donkoh will be out for the spring, following tight end Andrew Rappleyea, who posted a post-surgery photo at the end of February. We’ll discuss the situation, the impact, and what to expect from the team’s spring football situation, with so many injured players that the team will realistically consider starters in the fall.  Recruiting Update Next, we’ll discuss the latest recruiting news, now that the calendar has flipped to March. While spring practice hasn’t started yet, teams can still host prospects for visits now. We’ll discuss the players you need to know both before camp and after spring break, which is next week. Of course, check out Blue White Illustrated for a comprehensive list of players coming to campus over the several weeks.  Allen Trieu Joins Rivals Finally, we welcome Trieu, the latest addition to the Rivals national team, who joined the company on March 1. Tieu has been a Midwest reporter for decades and has extensive knowledge of the former Iowa State staff that now occupies the Lasch Building at Penn State. He and reporter Sean Fitz discuss Campbell’s approach, the strengths of the staff, the team’s ace recruiters, and where the group will need to bridge the gap between what they did in Ames, and the new pressure they face in Happy Valley. He’ll also discuss the blended approach of where Penn State’s targets will come from in this first cycle and how much time fans should give the staff before making decisions about how the staff is recruiting with their in-region recruits.  Use promo code psufans to get 10% off your first purcharse from Liberty Lumber Products: https://libertylumberproducts.com/search?options%5Bunavailable_products%5D=last&options%5Bprefix%5D=last&options%5Bfields%5D=title%2Cvendor%2Cproduct_type%2Cvariants.title&q=penn+state    00:00 Show Intro 01:05 Anthony Donkoh injury news 10:32 Penn State's offensive injury situation 13:00 Liberty Lumer products Ad break 15:25 Penn State recruiting: Matt Campbell's timeline of recruit commitments 20:05 New England recruiting is different than other regions 22:30 Is spring football a time to finally get rolling in recruiting? 29:55 Closing the deal in recruiting during official visit negotiation 33:00 Does every high school prospect have an agent? 37:33 Allen Triue interview 42:05 Can Campbell and his staff maintain relationships with Midwest schools 49:22 Who are the best recruiters on this staff? 51:07 Campbell staff sticking to evals and not chasing stars 57:00 Leap from Iowa State to PSU in eval and NIL 102:45 Difference between Franklin staff and Campbell staff.    Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqK Check out the site too! - https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/ Get 20% off and free shipping at Fanatics with our affiliate link: https://fanatics.93n6tx.net/OeZg2z Use Code PSU20 to get 20 percent off Rhoback’s Gameday Collection: https://rhoback.com/collections/pennsylvania-state-university-licensed-collection Want breaking news like this delivered straight to your inbox for FREE?

The Penn State Nittany Lions football team starts spring football in just about three weeks so we’re getting fans ready with our spring preview of each position. So far, we’ve covered the running backs, defensive tackles, and pass catchers in the lead-up to the first spring football under new head coach Matt Campbell. Today, we’ll be taking on the most important position on the team: quarterback. Also, there’s a concern among Penn State football fans that the team lacks elite playmakers, especially on defense. We’ll discuss which players are the likeliest candidates to step up and fill that void. Join the show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube. If you haven’t yet, subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel right now and enable notifications. That way, you’ll receive alerts when we go live or post content on the channel.  Of course, now is your chance to get Blue White Illustrated for half off!

Click here and get access to this special offer while it lasts.  Penn State Spring Preview: QB  We continue our spring preview series today by discussing the team’s quarterback position. We’ll discuss the impact of starter Rocco Becht’s injury timeline returning from surgery and how that is both a positive and a negative for the team this spring. How can he lead and bring the team together from the sidelines? How will his return partway through spring football affect the dynamics for the team? From there, we’ll discuss the team backup, Alex Manske. What does he need to work on during his second season in Taylor Mouser’s offense? We’ll discuss where his progression can come and how the extra reps can help him progress as a thrower.  Finally, we’ll look at the young quarterbacks in the room between freshmen Kase Evans and Peyton Falzone. We’ll disuss each player's profile from their high school film and see what kind of quarterback they are and how they fit into the templates we’ve seen from Campbell and his staff.  Potential defensive stars Even on a defense that doesn’t have future first-round NFL Draft picks, each scheme picks a player to feature. Opportunity to make plays comes from the decisions of who the defensive coordinator puts in position to make said plays. On today’s show, we’ll preview the potential defensive stars for the team this upcoming year. Many fans are concerned about the lack of raw high-end talent, so we’ll pinpoint three candidates who can make plays and elevate their profiles among the fan base through their output.  Of course, we also want to hear from you! Join the show live at 10 a.m. on YouTube, ask your questions in the live chat, and we’ll answer them throughout the show!  00:00 Show intro 02:54 NFL Mock Draft preview 05:42 Spring Preview: QBs 09:30 Rocco Becht breakdown 15:15 Rocco Becht film breakdown 22:22 Alex Manske preview 29:40 Kase Evans and Peyton Falzone preview 35:35 Final thoughts on QB Room 38:47 Potential defensive stars 42:24 Marcus Neal film breakdown 46:58 Tony Rojas and Caleb Bacon 49:23 Daryus Dixson and Yvan Kemajou 55:14 Best Bets Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqK Check out the site too! - https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/ Get 20% off and free shipping at Fanatics with our affiliate link: https://fanatics.93n6tx.net/OeZg2z Use Code PSU20 to get 20 percent off Rhoback’s Gameday Collection: https://rhoback.com/collections/pennsylvania-state-university-licensed-collection Want breaking news like this delivered straight to your inbox for FREE?

BWI Mailbag: Young players stashed for later Penn State head coach Matt Campbell discusses his recruiting and team-building plans for his February conversation with the media. He discussed the team’s objective of building a foundation for now and for the future. To this point, we have focused primarily on the team’s starters coming from the transfer portal, but there is a second layer of players who will make a contribution this year and will also be part of the team’s future. We’ll highlight some of those players on today’s show, thanks to a question from one of our Lions Den Message Board members, who asked this question on the BWI Mailbag thread.  Other topics we’ll discuss today include:  * How the staff plans to handle reps during spring football * When can fans expect more information about the Adidas switch? * Mississippi removing tax on NIL funds Don’t see a topic you want to discuss?

Penn State at the NFL Combine: Recap  Next, we’ll recap Penn State players' performances from the NFL Combine last week. On-field workouts ramped up on Thursday and concluded on Sunday with the offensive line. We’ll discuss who stood out, who made their mark, and which players didn’t do much either way to help or hurt themselves.  Of course, the biggest name to make his debut after an injury that ended his season in October was Penn State quarterback Drew Allar. The former starter threw at the Combine on Saturday and got positive reviews, which have catapulted him into the online discourse and debate over the last 48 hours. We’ll discuss what’s true and what’s hype around his draft stock.  Getting to know Penn State’s new Linebackers and the battle at center Finally, we’ll recap our work from last week, including our conversations with new and returning players from last week. Sean Fitz spoke with returner Dom Rulli about his quest to become the starting center at Penn State and his decision to stay despite the team adding a center in Brock Riker. We’ll also discuss the Iowa State linebackers and how their scheme in 2025 may have masked some hidden talents thanks to its unique style.  Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqK Check out the site too! - https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/ Get 20% off and free shipping at Fanatics with our affiliate link: https://fanatics.93n6tx.net/OeZg2z Use Code PSU20 to get 20 percent off Rhoback’s Gameday Collection: https://rhoback.com/collections/pennsylvania-state-university-licensed-collection Want breaking news like this delivered straight to your inbox for FREE?

One of Penn State’s top QB target back on the market It wasn’t long ago that Bourque was a regular on Penn State’s campus during the James Franklin era. Bourque visited the campus seven times during his first two years on the recruiting trail, more than any other team. Then, he made a surprise decision to commit to the Wolverines last summer. After a coaching change at both spots, Bourque has decommitted from Michigan and is reevaluating his options, including other schools as well.  What opportunity does this present to Penn State? How should Penn State fans feel about this, given all the changes in recent months? We’ll discuss the landscape for one of the top 2027 quarterbacks in his second go-around.  Spring visit schedule is filling up Over the last two weeks, players from across America have made their spring visit schedule known, including some from the Midwest and West Coast who plan to visit Happy Valley starting next month.

The Penn State Nittany Lions Football team is busy building its team chemistry during the true offseason of February. The team is preparing for the grind of the season, which starts in March with spring camp. Today, we’re previewing spring camp and the battles that will set the table for the coming year. Join the BWI Live Show as we break down the Penn State defensive tackle position and preview the camp battle for snaps at the heart of new Penn State defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn’s defense.

One of Penn State’s top recruiting targets, quarterback Peter Bourque, decommitted from Michigan this week. Does Penn State have a shot with the coveted four-star passer from the Northeast? We’ll discuss the recruiting movement, which is one of the first big positive events for the new Penn State staff.  Next, we’ll get into our main topic for today’s show. We’re previewing one of the team’s most interesting camp position battles. We’ll take a look at the defensive tackle battle that will determine the personality and complexity of the team’s front under Lynn. We’ll take you through the players that have the advantage on the starting spots to begin the year and the group of defensive tackles who can challenge them for snaps this spring. We’ll outline the player categories, how they fit together, and what we can reasonably expect from this group in 2026.  Finally, we’ll discuss the position's overall strengths and areas it needs to prove or improve this offseason.  Star Power? Defensive examination  One criticism of the Penn State roster is that it lacks obvious star power or difference-makers on either side of the ball. Today, we’ll count down the top three defenders we think have the potential to make a star turn in Lynn’s defense. Who could be the focal point, racking up stats this fall? Which players have the most physical potential and upside? Reporter Greg Pickel will name his top three players with star potential.  Next, we’ll discuss Pickel’s Best Bets for the week. Finally, we’ll wrap up with a preview of the Penn State Wrestling team’s Senior Day bout against Princeton to end the 2025-2026 regular season. The team wrapped up its Big Ten regular season championship by destroying Ohio State at the BJC last Friday. We’re discussing the juggernaut on today’s show because we will not have a Wrestling Show on Thursday.  Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqK Check out the site too! - https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/ Get 20% off and free shipping at Fanatics with our affiliate link: https://fanatics.93n6tx.net/OeZg2z Use Code PSU20 to get 20 percent off Rhoback’s Gameday Collection: https://rhoback.com/collections/pennsylvania-state-university-licensed-collection Want breaking news like this delivered straight to your inbox for FREE?

The Penn State football team held its Winter Media Day last Wednesday, and we’re still piecing through the quotes and conversations from last week’s event. On today’s show, we’ll discuss what we learned from two coaches we didn’t discuss last week after the media session. We’ll be diving into our conversations with offensive line coach Ryan Clanton and special teams coordinator Justin Lustig on today’s show. We’ll also get a recruiting update from this past weekend, including some bad news for the team regarding a top target in 2027.  Join the BWI Live Show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube!

We’ll discuss the game and what we thought of the night.  One of the most interesting conversations from last week was with offensive line coach Ryan Clanton. The new Penn State offensive line leader discussed what he wants from each position up front, how he sees certain players working out based on their skills, and revealed some fascinating details about transfer center Brock Riker. We’ll discuss that conversation and some of those details on today’s show.   Recruiting weekend update Next, we’ll discuss the news from the weekend orbiting Penn State’s recruiting staff. There have been both good and bad updates for the Nittany Lions this week concerning the 2027 class. Who is back in the picture and who didn’t include the team in their top four schools? Reporter Sean Fitz will discuss those topics on today’s show.  Finally, we’ll end today’s chat with fans by discussing special teams coach Justin Lustin.

Penn State football is on to the second phase of the 2026 offseason now that national signing day is in the books. We’ve got a jam-packed show with plenty of information, breaking news, and more. Today, we’ll be discussing our impressions and the biggest takeaways from the staff introduction during the Winter Media Day on Wednesday. We’ll discuss the latest news with the 2027 recruiting class, a commitment from this past weekend, plus breaking news that will impact the team in a big way this year.  Join the BWI Live Recruiting Show today at 10 a.m. to discuss all of that and more! We’ll be taking your questions and comments throughout the show in our live chat on YouTube. Be sure to subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel right now so you don’t miss any breaking news, commitment videos and more!  Penn State receiver room is snakebit The breaking news this morning is that just after being introduced to the Penn State media on Wednesday, wide receivers coach Noah Pauley is leaving the program to become the receivers coach of the Green Bay Packers. Pauley developed a reputation at North Dakota State and at Iowa State as a developer of game-breaking receivers and will now head off to coach one of his former pupils, Christian Watson, with the Packers.  The move leaves a huge void at a critical position, which new Penn State head coach Matt Campbell will have to scramble to fill. We’ll discuss the impact and what comes next for the team, which hasn’t had positive wide receiver news in about five years.  Class of 2027 updates and a commitment  Not all of the news this week is bad. The team picked up a commitment from a 2028 cornerback from McDowell High School, Deonte Flemings. We’ll discuss the impact of picking up a player two years out, his potential and what else we know about the newest Nittany Lion.  From there, we’ll pivot to discuss the other recruiting news on today’s show, including a top Penn State target decommitting from a rival school, more predictions for Penn State to land a top linebacker, and where Penn State goes from here for running back in 2027.  Between the Lines From there, we’ll transition into discussing the things we saw and heard from the Penn State staff on Wednesday. We’ll discuss three key points from Campbell about his staff and roster-building on both sides of the football. Next, we’ll discuss what we heard from coordinators Taylor Mouser and D’Anton Lynn during the breakout media sessions.  Finally, we’ll discuss which other coordinators we found interesting and intriguing, including GM Derek Hoodjer, who spoke to the media alongside the positional staff during the event.

We get our first introduction to Matt Campbell’s staff this week, with the team hosting a National Signing Day press conference with the full staff in attendance on Wednesday of this week. It will also be our first chance to meet with Campbell since his introductory press conference in early December. On today’s BWI Live Show, we’re previewing what we expect from tomorrow’s press conference, discussing what we want to learn, and recapping the last two months since Campbell took over. We’ll also discuss the latest recruiting news, including the unfortunate update for Penn State that five-star running back Kemon Spell committed to Georgia this week.  Join us today, live at 10 a.m. on YouTube to discuss those comments and more! We’ll take your questions and thoughts live on air during the hour-long show to get the pulse of Penn State fans. Want to know when breaking news hits during the offseason? Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable notifications! That way, you’ll receive alerts when we post breaking news, commitments, and more.  Penn State misses out on Spell, preview of tomorrow’s event  The stated reason for Wednesday’s press conference is that tomorrow is National Signing Day for college football. With that in mind, we’ll start today’s show with the news that Penn State lost out on a top regional prospect for the Class of 2027. Spell, an elite recruit and one-time commit to Penn State, committed to Georgia on Monday afternoon. Recruiting reporter Sean Fitz will discuss the twists and turns in Spell’s recruitment that had Penn State in the lead, before quickly fading to the Bulldogs.  Next, we’ll preview what we expect to learn from tomorrow’s press conference. Despite it’s stated reason, we expect to discuss recruiting very little. Tomorrow will be the first time that the media will meet Campbell’s fully assembled staff. We’ll also get our first extended sitdown with Campbell since his introductory press conference. We’ll discuss the things we expect to learn, what we want to learn and what storylines we expect to come from the event. Two-month superlatives In the last two months, Campbell had to assemble his staff, learn the old Penn State roster, build a retention plan for the players he wanted to keep, execute that plan, recruit his old players from Iowa State, and find key players in the wider transfer portal, all while trying to recruit for 2026 and 2027.  With February here, it’s the first dead period in recruiting and the first, presumably, normal schedule after Campbell had to speed-run building Penn State in his image over the last two months. In that light, we’ll do a check-in at this turning point by giving out some superlatives. We’ll track the best, worst, and most underrated moves of the last two months.

The Penn State Wrestling team has set incredible marks of achievement under head coach Cael Sanderson.

Currently, the team has six wrestlers, Luke Lilledahl, Shayne Van Ness, Mitchell Mesenbrink, Levi Haines, Rocco Welsh and Josh Barr, who are all number-one ranked at their weight classes.  Reporter Greg Pickel discusses the "halfway" point superlatives of the season on today's show, recaps the win over Iowa, and previews the upcoming weekend against Indiana and Maryland.  Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqK Check out the site too! - https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/ Get 20% off and free shipping at Fanatics with our affiliate link: https://fanatics.93n6tx.net/OeZg2z Use Code PSU20 to get 20 percent off Rhoback’s Gameday Collection: https://rhoback.com/collections/pennsylvania-state-university-licensed-collection Want breaking news like this delivered straight to your inbox for FREE?

A native of Bayville, Reeder was a late addition for Matt Campbell during his time at Iowa State, adding the Central Regional prospect on Dec. 3, the day the early signing period opened. The 6-foot-6, 210-pound defensive end took an official visit to Iowa State just two days prior. “He’s got a unique trait, size, 6’8 wingspan, a guy that’s got great size, great ability,” said Campbell during Iowa State’s signing day event. “We brought him in this weekend when we got back from Oklahoma State. He’s got a great mom, great family, great skill set. It’s going to be really fun to see where he’s got the ability to go.” By The Numbers: Sizing up Penn State football’s 2026 spring roster During his senior season, Reeder totaled 50 tackles, 19 tackles for loss and eight sacks. He picked up an offer from Missouri after backing out of his commitment to Iowa State. Rutgers also showed interest, but Reeder decided to take just the one official visit to Penn State. He joins Pennsylvania native and four-star prospect Jackson Ford as the two defensive line commits in Penn State’s 2026 class. According to Rivals’ Industry Rankings, which combines Rivals, 247Sports and ESPN for a cumulative grade, Reeder is ranked No. 525 nationally, making him the highest-ranked commit among the former Iowa State signees. He’s ranked No. 53 nationally at defensive end and ninth overall in New Jersey. #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Penn State Recruiting Adds another MASSIVE Edge Rusher to Class 2026: Elijah Reeder Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It’s January and time for Junior Days on campus for Penn State, which is roughly two weeks behind, thanks to the team’s need to build its 2026 roster in the transfer portal. Today on the BWI Live Recruiting Show, we’re discussing the latest recruiting news, including the report that the team is in the lead for five-star running back Kemon Spell. We’ll also discuss the other visitors coming in this weekend to meet the new coaching staff, plus the team’s travel schedule. Where have the coaches been in the last week or so?

Penn State trending to retake Kemon Spell’s commitment  Earlier this week, Rivals national reporter Steve Wiltfong put in a pick for Penn State to land five-star running back Kemon Spell. Spell was originally committed to the program before decommitting during the team’s three-game losing streak in October. Now, he’s seemingly on the verge of joining the new staff in Happy Valley. So, what do our reporters think of the situation? Snyder and Sean Fitz will discuss what they know of the Spell situation and what they think the timeline for a decision may be for Spell.  We’ll discuss the broader impact of getting Spell back in the fold for the team’s reputation in the region and as a staff stepping up to a higher level of competition.  Junior Day visits  Of course, Spell isn’t the only player visiting this weekend, and he’s not the only elite player in Pennsylvania for this cycle. We’ll discuss the other players who plan to attend Penn State’s first Junior Day. Is the team making the right moves to make up ground on their late start into the Class of 2027? We’ll discuss how the team shortened the curve by keeping Terry Smith and key staffers on the roster.  Finally, we’ll discuss where the coaching staff has been over the last week since the transfer portal closed and the open period started, where coaches can go on in-home visits.  #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Yesterday, Rivals national reporter Steve Wiltfong put in his prediction for former Penn State commit Kemon Spell to rejoin the team’s Class of 2027. We’ll discuss the impact of that coming true, and what Spell means to the team’s efforts to rebuild its relationships and footing in Pennsylvania early in new head coach Matt Campbell’s time as the team’s leader.  Next, we’ll shift our focus to 2026. There are several way-too-early top 25 team rankings out for next year. Reporter Greg Pickel has aggregated them all into one spot for fans, and today, we’ll talk about them.

Head coach Cael Sanderson's team is already the NCAA leader in all-time consecutive dual meet wins with 78 and counting. Will they hit 80 this weekend and continue their quest to pass NAIA school Grand View for the longest streak in college wrestling history with 117? Host Thomas Frank Carr and Greg Pickel eventually get into that conversation. First, though, the pair review the start of the Big Ten season and what we've learned so far. The highlights of that conversation include new records, a new starter, and that the freshmen are doing just fine so far. Most of the talk centers on junior Braeden Davis taking over for classmate Aaron Nagao, who is now hurt and out for the season, at 141 pounds. #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Penn State Wrestling vs Iowa Preview Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The team has acquired 38 players via the transfer portal in the last two weeks, with the latest coming on Wednesday night. Today, we’ll wrap up the portal with the latest commit, then turn the page to 2027. Finally, we’ll circle back to 2026 to discuss the final prospects the team is trying to add in the late signing period. Join recruiting reporters Sean Fitz and Ryan Snyder on today’s show as they discuss the team’s pivot to try to acquire talent for the upcoming recruiting class.    If you haven’t yet, subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel right now so you don’t miss any final breaking news from the portal, recruiting, or other areas of the program.

Penn State adds another Iowa State defender One of the last remaining starters from the Iowa State defense in 2026 joined the program on Wednesday night. Defensive lineman Ikenna Ezeogu committed to Penn State out of the portal, making him the second Cyclone defensive lineman to join the team. We’ll discuss his skills, fit, and potential role in the team’s new-look defense.  From there, we’ll discuss the defensive line and what we see with the defensive front and how it fits together.  2027 Recruiting hits high gear this weekend January is usually a big month for Penn State football recruiting, featuring coaching visits on the road during the week and junior days during the four weekends of the month. However, the new staff had to compress the timeline and focus on the transfer portal in earnest. Now that it’s closing, the staff will pivot to focus on 2027. Snyder and Fitz will discuss where head coach Matt Campbell and his staff will be starting today, as the staff can get out and see recruits.  This cycle is a bumper crop in the region, with top prospects like Max Hiller, Kemon Spell, and Kahlil Taylor in the state. How far behind is the new Penn State staff in the recruiting game? We’ll discuss how those relationships are playing out and how the team can make up ground.  Finishing out 2026  Finally, we’ll return to the Class of 2026 and the remaining players the team is targeting in this cycle. There are a few names who will visit the program in the next few days, which Snyder will discuss with the team today. Can Penn State make a final push for legacy wide receiver prospect Samson Gash?

The transfer portal officially closes on Friday afternoon and the team is nearly done adding players to its roster for the coming 2026 season. On today’s BWI Live Show, we’ll discuss the work the team has left to do on its current roster, with unannounced players, and final touches from the portal. We’ll also discuss the latest news and information about the team to start today’s show.  Join us live at 10 a.m. on YouTube and be part of the action!

The team officially welcomed running backs coach Savion Huggins on Tuesday evening. Huggins was the final on-field coach the team needed to replace as part of the roster transition that happened after Campbell took over this December. The team also added a new analyst to the roster, which reporter Greg Pickel will detail for fans to start the show. Of course, today’s show is about the portal closing, so we’ll detail exactly how much time is left for Penn State to make moves and add the finishing touches to its roster before the window closes.  Portal needs and retention wins left to address The team still has over a dozen players who have not made an announcement about their intentions in the transfer portal. At this stage, it’s safer to assume they’re staying than not, but anything can happen. We’ll detail the biggest wins from the undeclared group that would be the biggest benefit to the program if they are on the roster as of next Monday.  Which positions and players make the most sense? We’ll give ours on the show, and fans are free to give their thoughts in the live chat.  Next, we’ll talk about the team’s remaining needs in the trasnfer portal. While there are plenty of areas where the team can sharpen its roster, we’ll pick out three spots that the team can still address in the portal.  Best bets and rule changes  Finally, we’ll end the show with our weekly best bets segment. Which teams and games is Pickel interested in this week? Join the show to findout what mix of teams, leagues and games he has on his plate for this week.  Lastly, we’ll discuss the latest news from the AFCA convention and the rule changes that coaches want to implement in the sport for the coming year. How can the redshirt rule change this offseason? We’ll discuss the future of the sport and where eligibility standards are heading.  #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Penn State’s Final Portal Checklist: What’s Left as the Window Closes Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

As always, we’ll recap the news and tell you what it means on the BWI Live Show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube. Today, we’ll recap the most recent reversals and departures from the program, recap the transfer additions to the team since last Thursday, and then discuss the new-look Penn State defense.

After announcing his commitment to stay at Penn State, redshirt freshman running back Tikey Hayes decommitted from the program this weekend and quickly found his way to South Carolina. In a reversal, running back Cam Wallace chose to withdraw from the transfer portal and rejoin the team. We’ll discuss the impact of those moves on the roster and what it means for the Penn State running back room in 2026.  Next, we’ll recap the list of transfer additions since last Thursday after the show. The team has been hard at work gaining the commitments of key players and reserves on both sides of the football. We’ll discuss those players and give our thoughts on the most important or best additions in the last five days. Is safety Jereminah Cooper the missing piece on defense? Will Texas State’s Brock Riker be the starting center next year? We’ll discuss.  Return of LBU Today’s main topic is a look at the Penn State defense and how the team will transform under Lynn as the new DC. We’ll primarily focus on the team’s linebacker room after redshirt freshman Cam Wallace announced that he’s returning to the team for the upcoming season. After studying the defense, we’ll discuss how the team’s infusion of Iowa State talent meshes with Tony Rojas and the Penn State roster under Lynn.  #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Why Penn State Is Reinvesting in Linebackers on Defense + Portal Update Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Yet with all of that, the team is also working on building for the future with recruiting. We’ll tackle both conversations today on the BWI Live Recruiting Show. Join reporters Ryan Snyder and Sean Fitz as they discuss the team’s efforts to find the right players for the short and long term in the first year under Penn State head coach Matt Campbell.  Join the show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube!

We’ll discuss the latest players to visit Penn State and what they would mean to the program should they sign with the Nittany Lions. Today we’ll feature defensive tackle Xion Chapman, who visited the program this past week and spoke to Snyder about the experience.  We’ll then broaden the conversation to the other prospects that our guests think are important to add to the roster for the upcoming season. Want to submit a name for consideration? Join the chat and give your take! Finally, we’ll outline the positions that most need to add bodies for the upcoming season. While the answer right now is “all of them,” we’ll narrow the list down to the top three or four positions that have the biggest needs on the roster.  Penn State gets another commit in the Class of 2026 In the flurry of news about the team’s portal action, it would be easy to miss the news that Penn State signed another Class of 2026 prospect this week. State College native D’Antae Sheffy committed to the program. The running back was on the previous staff’s radar but was not part of the original Class of 2026. We’ll discuss what’s changed and what Fitz and Snyder know about Sheffy, and the situation at running back.  Of course, it’s a good time to review the Class of 2026 and where it stands heading into the middle of January.  Finally, we’ll preview the next phase in recruiting for the new staff. How can the staff fit junior days into the equation with the portal at full blast? We’ll discuss the team’s next phase in recruiting to end the show.  #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Penn State’s Portal Blitz Rolls On: New Commit, Visits & Big Needs Remain Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Penn State added 19 former Cyclones to the roster in the last three days. Should fans be worried about the number of Big 12 players taking a step up in competition to the highest level of the Big Ten? We’ll discuss the nuance of the situation and what to make of the additions.  Of course, not every player will come from Iowa. There are plenty of other players on campus this weekend, and we’ll discuss some of the names to know, including Keanu Williams, who committed to the program from UCLA on Monday night.  Some fans are concerned that the team isn’t aggressive enough in targeting “star” players in the portal. Is that true, and if so, why? Athletic director Pat Kraft set out a vision and a large sum of money for the team to use. Do we think they’re using it?  Portal retention and departures In the midst of that, several key players on the Penn State roster also made decisions about their futures. We’ll discuss the impact of Amare Campbell's departure from the program and Malachi Goodman's stay on board. Of course, Tyseer Denmark also decided to stay, so we’ll factor that into the list of players who have decided since the last time we sat down for a show.  Coaching updates  Finally, we’ll review the coaching news from the last several days, which finally gave fans clarity on the defensive staff. We’ll discuss what we’ve learned about defensive line coach Ikaika Malloe and how he fits into the plan going forward with the rumors of another defenisve line coach joining the staff. We’ll also address the same situation at linebacker with former Cincinnati defensive coordiantor Tyson Veidt joining the staff that already includes Dan Connor as linebackers coach.  Finally, what’s the latest update on the running backs coach? We’ll give you the news you need to know about the pursuit of the next RB coach. Join the show at 10 a.m. to discuss all of that and more!  #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Penn State Adds 20 Transfers: What the Portal Flood Really Means Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

While those players are critical to the team’s immediate success, how they fit—and what their additions say about the team’s future—are becoming clearer. I’ll be providing breakdowns of each position and player in the coming days, but this weekend I spent my time scouting defensive line targets. Not only is the defensive line’s transition a key part of the team’s success next season, but most of that talent won’t be coming from Ames. On top of that, the team is incorporating a new defensive scheme under coordinator D’Anton Lynn. Identifying what Penn State is prioritizing along the defensive line will tell us more about the types of players and traits the staff values. It will also provide insight into the kind of front they want to build. With so much information to sort through, we’ll be doing this in stages. Today, we’re disucssing four defensive line targets in the portal. Learn more about Keanu Williams, Alijah Carnell, Joe Hjelle and Anto Saka.  Want breaking news like this delivered straight to your inbox for FREE? Sign up today for the BWI breaking newsletter!

Penn State head coach Matt Campbell and GM Derek Hoojer have been working to get to know the current roster and develop a retention plan for the team ahead of the 2026 portal. How has that plan gone so far? We’ll grade each offensive position for its ability to keep quality players in the Lasch Building so far. While many have announced their intentions to leave or return, there’s a handful of players at each position who have yet to make their plans known. We’ll issue a grade now, but reserve the right to update it as we learn more about the undecided situations over time.  Today, we focus on the quarterback and offensive tackle positions with the loss of Ethan Grunkemeyer to the portal, but the retention of Anthony Donkoh and several other offensive tackles.  Check out the full article: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/news/grading-penn-states-offensive-portal-retention-so-far/ Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqK Check out the site too! - https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/ Get 20% off and free shipping at Fanatics with our affiliate link: https://fanatics.93n6tx.net/OeZg2z Use Code PSU20 to get 20 percent off Rhoback’s Gameday Collection: https://rhoback.com/collections/pennsylvania-state-university-licensed-collection Want breaking news like this delivered straight to your inbox for FREE?

Key players on offense and defense chose to stay with the program under first-year head coach Matt Campbell for the upcoming season. Still, the team also lost players who intended to test the portal and find a new home, including a key quarterback. We’ll discuss all of that, plus the latest on which players will join the program out of the transfer portal today.  Join the BWI Live Transfer Portal Show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube! Blue White Illustrated reporter Sean Fitz joins us for an hour to discuss the activity this week and what he makes of the situation heading into the first official weekend of the 2026 roster-building season.  Two Penn State targets emerge on Day One There are a number of places we could start today’s show, but we’ll begin with the latest news, which includes the players that Penn State is now predicted to get out of the portal now that it’s open. It’s no surprise that Iowa State quarterback Rocco Becht and tight end Benjamin Brahmer already have predictions placed that they will sign with Penn State. We’ll discuss the news and the fit within the program now that we know more about what will be around them.  The coaching staff has also done an excellent job of retaining key players in the week heading up to the transfer portal. We’ll review the names that have announced their return this week. Who stands out, and which players are most pivotal to the team’s ability to compete in the coming season? We’ll break down the situation for Penn State fans on today’s show.  Portal hits Lions hard on Friday  Of course, the largest number of players making a move today are leaving the program. We’ll outline the players moving on from the Penn State football team and which players are the biggest loss to Campbell and his staff. Of course, the biggest blow came on Thursday evening when starting quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer announced that he’s entering the transfer portal and looking for a new place to start this upcoming season.  Finally, we’ll circle back to the biggest news of the week. Penn State hired USC defensive coordinator and alum D’Anton  Lynn to lead the defense. We’ll discuss the situation as he settles into his role and the coaches he’s added to the staff since coming on board mid-week.  Join the BWI Live Show to discuss all of this, plus much more!

The team finished the season 4-3 under interim head coach Terry Smith and played one of its most complete games of the season in its final performance.

After a cold, sloppy first half, the Lions battled the elements to get the win in adverse conditions. Join the Labatt Postgame Show to discuss Terry Smith’s final game as the interm head coach for Penn State football, as the team finally closes the chapter on the last era and enters the next under Matt Campbell.  Join the show live immediately following Penn State and Clemson in the Pinstripe Bowl.

If you can’t make the show, you can always watch it on replay 24/7 on the Blue White illustrated YouTube Channel, or listen anywhere you get your podcasts.  Penn State battles the elements and the Clemson Tigers It was a cold and sloppy field for both Penn State and Clemson on Saturday. As a result, offense was hard to come by in the game. Both teams dealt with slipping by receivers and ball-carriers on the slick stadium surface after eight inches of snow fell in New York the night before the game. The slick surface led to less confident cutting by receivers and less open targets for both quarterbacks. The two teams combined for three official drops in the first half, but both quarterbacks finished with a sub-60% completion percentage in the first half.  However, both offenses woke up right before halftime. Clemson tied the game at 3-3 with a 10-play drive that spanned just under three minutes. Ethan Grunkemeyer and the Penn State offense responded with a ten-play 48-yard drive of their own in just over 50 seconds. That drive ended in a Ryan Barker Field goal to give the Lions a 6-3 lead heading into the locker room.  After a short third quarter in which Penn State controlled the clock, the Lions took a 9-3 lead to start the fourth quarter after a run-heavy drive to end the third.  The Penn State defense suffocated the Clemson offense, giving up just three points through three quarters and just 163 yards total through the early part of the fourth when Penn State went up by 12 points with a 71-yard touchdown strike to Trebor Pena.  Postgame content Of course, it’s not just the postgame show that will keep you company as the echoes of the season finale fade.

Meanwhile, the team continues to transition from the James Franklin era to the Matt Campbell era as the team steadily works toward January and the transfer portal. This week on the BWI Live Show, we’ll discuss the team's latest roster news, including transfers from the program. Players the team may target in the portal, and the latest coaching news. The team still needs a defensive coordinator, and it still needs to finalize details with several defensive coaches.  With Christmas on Thursday, today will be the only BWI Live Show this week. However, we’ll have a full weekend of game coverage on the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel. Join us at 9 a.m. from downtown State College as we broadcast live from the Scholar Hotel at the Big Springs Spirits Tasting room. We’ll preview the matchup between Clemson and Penn State for 90 minutes heading into the official radio pregame show. You can hear the Tailgate Show on the BWI YouTube Channel, 99.8 The Bus, or on Bigfoot Country Legends. The Tailgate Show is produced in conjunction with Seven Mountains Media.  Penn State roster reveals its new form with transfers  It’s no secret that plenty of Penn State football players plan to enter the transfer portal in the next few weeks, but some of the names are starting to come out publicly this week. Late last week, defensive end Chaz Coleman put his name into the portal, and on Monday evening, starting cornerback A.J. Harris added his name to the list.  Today, we’ll discuss the impact of losing a rising star and a top starter from the defensive secondary for the upcoming season. How many other players could make their way to the portal? We won’t speculate about names, but we’ll give fans an outline of what to expect.  On the flip side, the transfer portal is filling up with potential Penn State football players if the team is interested in bringing in outside help for 2026. The obvious place to start is the Iowa State transfer portal tracker, which has six names expected to join the ranks of players looking for a new home in the new year. We’ll discuss which names you need to know, including starting quarterback Rocco Becht.  Staffing update: Or lack thereof  It’s been very quiet on the staffing front for the last several days. After a flurry of news in the first week and a half, the team’s coaching roster under Campbell has remained silent. What’s the latest on the team’s pursuit of a defensive coordinator? Why haven’t the deals become official with defensive line coach Deion Barnes and linebackers Dan Connor? We’ll discuss what we know about the situation and give fans the latest on the impact of not having those pieces in place. Want to discuss something else?

As a result, we’ll have a full-on BWI Live Recruiting Show today, discussing the latest commitments, available players left to help salvage the 2026 class, and looking ahead to 2027 recruiting efforts, which start in earnest next month. Join reporters Ryan Snyder and Sean Fitz as they discuss the important names in the recruiting efforts under Matt Campbell during his first month on the job.  We’ll also take your comments and questions in the live chat! Join us live at 10 a.m. on YouTube to give your thoughts and questions about the state of the team’s recruiting efforts in the early portion of Campbell’s tenure. This is also the last recruiting show of 2025! With Christmas next week and New Year's Day the following week, we’ll be on hiatus until January. However, that doesn’t mean we’re done for the year! Join the BWI Live show next Tuesday at 10 a.m.  We’ll also have our standard pre- and postgame shows before and after the Pinstripe Bowl on Dec 27. We’ll be back Monday, Dec. 29 and 30th, plus a special Transfer Portal broadcast on Friday, Jan 2. Is that a lot to remember? Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated’s YouTube Channel right now and enable notifications. That way, you’ll receive an alert whenever we go live or post breaking news in the coming weeks!  Iowa State recruiting flips We’ll start today’s show discussing the Iowa State recruiting flips from last weekend as a group. What did Snyder and Fitz think of the players that Penn State gained from Iowa State’s previous class? How do they fit into the locker room and roster? Snyder has spoken with coaches and players and will share his highlights to start today’s show.  Of course, the team still has just six commits for this cycle. Can they find at least enough players to equal roughly half of a recruiting cycle? We’ll discuss the uncommitted players left that the team may target in this next phase, which culminates on the traditional signing day in February. Plus, we’ll review the prospects from Michigan that make sense for Penn State to target.  Penn State targets and offers Beyond the Class of 2026 prospects Penn State is trying to salvage, the team has been aggressive this week with its offers for the Class of 2027. Our reporters have been tracking the players that Penn State has offered and will discuss the names and positions to know for the upcoming cycle that the team has reintroduced into the recruiting ecosystem.  Join the show today to discuss all of that, and more!  #PennState  #NittanyLions  #pennstatefootball  JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Click here to sign-up! https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/newsletter/join/ The Penn State football program enters the Pinstripe Bowl at a unique crossroads, balancing bowl preparation with a major transition under new head coach Matt Campbell. On today’s BWI Live Show, we break down what starting quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer said during bowl media availability, including his approach to the game, his relationship with the new coaching staff, and how the quarterback room is adjusting during a period of change. Paragraph 2 We also dive into the latest Penn State coaching hires, with receivers coach Noah Pauley and quarterbacks coach Jake Waters officially joining the staff. With roster turnover, potential opt-outs, and young players expected to see expanded roles, the Pinstripe Bowl serves as an important evaluation opportunity. We’ll preview the players we’re most interested in watching and explain what this final game can tell us about Penn State’s roster moving forward under Matt Campbell. Due to Grunkemeyer’s media availability time slot, we’ll be broadcasting today at 10:30 instead of 10 a.m. Join us live to be part of the show! We’ll take comments and questions from the live chat throughout the show to get the pulse of what Penn State fans are talking about and want to know.  Finally, subscribe to the BWI YouTube channel now and enable notifications so you don’t miss any of the latest information over the holiday season. We’ll have just one show on Tuesday during the week of Christmas, but we’ll be back the following week with special content as the team heads into the start of the transfer portal. If you enable notifications, you’ll receive alerts when we post news, go live at different times, or have special shows.  Grunkemeyer discusses dynamics with the new coaching staff  Penn State’s starting quarterback spoke to the media as part of the team’s Pinstripe Bowl availability on Wednesday morning. We’ll discuss his most relevant comments when asked about the current situation with the team and his new coaching staff. The full press conference will be available after the show’s conclusion.  Next, we’ll discuss the coaching staff and the latest news. Penn State officially hired two more coaches on Tuesday afternoon, with receivers coach Noah Pauley and quarterbacks coach Jake Waters joining the staff. We’ll discuss the hiring and what we know about the passing game duo so far.  Pinstripe Bowl Preview With so many seniors on the Penn State football team this year, the chance for opt-outs or partial playing time from season-long starters is incredibly high. We’ll end the show today by discussing the players we find most interesting that we’ll likely see in the team’s final game of the 2025 season. We’ll discuss the positions on offense and defense where we think young players will be thrust into the starting lineup or key role player position. From there, we’ll discuss what we can learn about them and who has the chance to audition for a position on the upcoming roster under new head coach Matt Campbell.  #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Why the Pinstripe Bowl Matters for Penn State Under Matt Campbell Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Listed at 6-foot-2, 180 pounds, Chatman did a little bit of everything at North Star High School. He played both quarterback and wide receiver on offense, totaling 2,047 yards and 26 touchdowns over the past two seasons. However, Chatman is expected to be a cornerback for the Nittany Lions after finishing his high school career with 88 tackles, 21 pass breakups and four interceptions. Blue White Illustrated discusses what Chatman brings to Happy Valley and to Penn State.  Want breaking news like this delivered straight to your inbox for FREE?

The team has gained and lost commits and coaches throughout the journey to the early signing day, and now, an unexpected player joins the program this week. Three-star passer Kase Evans committed to Penn State on Sunday, days after new head coach Matt Campbell took the job in Happy Valley. Quarterback is an incredibly important position that requires significant time and attention. While we’d like to have more film, four full games from Evans’ senior season will have to do. We discuss what we've learned about Evans and his fit with Penn State.  #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Penn State Lands A QB Who Can Chuck It Deep | Scouting Kase Evans Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The team has hired several on- and off-field coaches in the last seven days, with more to come. Today on the BWI Live Show, we’ll take stock of where things stand right now and what is left for Campbell to decide. We’ll also track the latest recruiting additions over the weekend in Fitz’s Recruiting Update. Penn State also plays Clemson on the 27th in the Pinstripe Bowl. We’ll discuss the players who have opted out of the game and which players still have to announce their intentions for the final game of the 2025 Penn State football season.  Join us for all of that and more! We’ll be taking your questions on today’s show and discussing whatever else is going on with Penn State football. Subscribe to the BWI YouTube Channel right now so you don’t miss any breaking news, commitment videos, or live shows as we enter the Christmas season.  Note: The BWI Live schedule will be truncated over the next two weeks due to Christmas and New Year's. Check out this week’s episodes for an updated schedule.  Transfer portal is heating up two weeks before it opens, Penn State staff updates  Penn State has yet to be hit hard by the transfer portal, but the news is likely coming. Today, we’ll discuss the flurry of quarterbacks that entered the portal in the last several hours. Should Penn State be interested in any of them to join its 2026 roster?  Of course, the biggest news in the first week of Campbell’s tenure at Penn State is his staff choices. So far, there have been far more off-field decisions than on-field coaching announcements. We’ll review the coaches who have officially joined the staff from Iowa State in the last week, discuss the retention plans we know about for the current staff, and then discuss what remains to learn about the staff in the coming days.  Penn State Pinstripe Bowl Opt Outs Next, we’ll review the news surrounding the current team’s status for the Pinstripe Bowl on Dec. 27. So far, four seniors have announced that they will not play in the upcoming game. Two of those players, Zane Durant and Zakee Wheatley, will attend the Senior Bowl in Mobile next year. Two more, running back Kaytron Allen and Dani Dennis-Sutton, have not made a decision on the Pinstripe Bowl so far.  We’ll discuss why players would opt out of a bowl game, but then play in the Senior Bowl for fans upset with the lack of participation in the season-ending game against Clemson. We’ll also list the seniors remaining who have yet to announce their intentions.  Finally, we’ll review the team’s latest recruiting wins in Fitz’s recruiting udpate. #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The 6-foot-4, 180-pound defensive back committed to Iowa State back in June following an official visit. He also took official visits to Washington State and Vanderbilt. Reporter Ryan Snyder and film analyst Thomas Frank Carr discuss his new fit with Penn State.  After opening up his recruitment, both Minnesota and Purdue made a push for Williams, but it was his relationship with Campbell and defensive back coach Deon Broomfield that put Penn State in a strong position. Williams is also the son of Jamel Williams, who won two national championships at Nebraska in the mid-90s before playing for Washington and Green Bay in the NFL. #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Click here to sign-up! https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/newsletter/join/ Shortly after Penn State Athletic Director Pat Kraft fired head coach James Franklin, Blue White Illustrated had college football personality Josh Pate on the show to discuss the situation. After covering the history of Penn State and the coaching search to that point, Pate outlined what he thinks the next coach needs to be successful at Penn State. After listing off qualities, he gave a name.  “Matt Campbell’s always been that guy for me.”   Roughly two months later, Kraft flew out to Ames, Iowa, to meet Campbell and offer him the job. Today, he’s the 17th head coach for Penn State football, and Pate is back on the BWI YouTube channel to take a well-earned victory lap. You can hear the entire 30-minute conversation embedded in the article above or on our YouTube Channel.  Be sure to subscribe to the BWI YouTube Channel so you don’t miss any special guest appearances, breaking news, or commitment announcements over the next several weeks and months as Campbell builds his staff and roster at Penn State.  Pate does not hold back on criticism over Penn State coaching search  While most of the interview discusses how Campbell will fit at Penn State and why this was such a great hire, Pate doesn’t hold back on criticism about how the search was handled by Kraft.  “Yeah, they circumnavigated the globe to find treasure in their own backyard, is the way that I described it. So now that it's done and it's in our rearview mirror, and we know who the hire is going to be. I personally am happy about the hire. Anyone up there who's not eventually will be happy about the hire, because he'll win games.”  Pate also said that the reason he was so confident in suggesting Campbell is because he knew how well Campbell would fit the job and that Penn State was a position that Campbell would consider leaving Iowa State for, unlike other job offers he’s gotten in the past.  “The reason I threw Matt's name out there is because I knew if this job was presented properly, if this search was handled the right way, he'd be a strong candidate. His name would be in the mix for it, and that certainly is not because, like you said, he was looking to leave.”  Check out the rest of the interview to hear what he had to say about the search, Campbell and the next steps for Penn State.  Josh Pate Tells Penn State Fans What They're Getting In Matt Campbell | Critical of Search #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Can come within one of tying it at Wyoming this weekend. It does not sound like Nagao will be back. Barr could be. Barr/Connor Mirasola vs. Jore Volk is the match of the weekend if it happens. Will the Lions continue to turn to Nasdeo at 141 if no Nagao? Recruiting From there, Carr and Pickel dive into the latest recruiting news. Penn State wrestling is on a role in the Class of 2027. It's most recent addition is Indiana junior Clinton Shepherd. He picked the Nittany Lions on Saturday afternoon. Watch the Penn State wrestling show from BWI in the video player above, on YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts! "After a lot of prayer I am proud to announce I’m committing to continue my academic and wrestling career at Penn State University," Shepherd wrote on Instagram. "Thankful for my family, coaches, and everyone who’s pushed me to get here also god for the guidance to put in my heart where I felt at home for the place I will pursue and chase my goals. Time to work!" Shepherd is MatScout's No. 6 Class of 2027 recruit. He is the outlet's No. 3 wrestler in the country at 144 pounds. He projects to wrestle somewhere between 157-174 at the next level. Head coach Cael Sanderson's team made a massive recent surge in this recruitment. The Crown Point High standout put out a top eight in August that included only Iowa State, Cornell, Michigan, Virginia Tech, Indiana, Nebraska, Ohio State, and N.C. State. Penn State now has verbal commitments in the Class of 2027 from Norwin, Pa., star Landon Sidun, who is No. 2 on MatScout’s 2027 big board, in addition to Ohio star Grey Burnett (No. 4), New York’s Gavin Mangano (No. 8), State College Area’s James Whitbred, and New York two-time state champ William Soto. Soto and Sidun are also wrestlers who look likely to compete in the 125- or 133-pound weight classes. However, projecting college weights at this juncture can sometimes be a bit of a fool’s errand. But, for what it’s worth, Mangano projects in the middle weights and Whitbred in the upper weights.” SHOW WRAPUP What they have to do to set a new consecutive dual meet wins record Beat Wyoming, NDSU, Stanford #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On today’s BWI Live Recruiting Show, we’ll discuss the new batch of players that fans should get to know who have ties to Campbell from Iowa State. We’ll also discuss the efforts to rebuild the 2027 class so that the team isn’t behind on next year’s class as well. Plus, we’ll discuss Campbell’s track record in the transfer portal and how successful the former Cyclones coach has been at evaluating talent in the open market.  Want to get recruiting news before anyone else?

While you’re at it, subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel and enable notifications so you don’t miss any breaking news surrounding recruiting and the portal!  Breaking News Shocks College Football However, we’ll start today with the news that Michigan has fired head coach Sherrone Moore after finding evidence of improper behavior with an assistant. We’ll discuss the impact on the rival Big Ten program and what it could potentially mean for Penn State’s chances of flipping players from the recently signed class of 2026. We’ll discuss the dynamics of the Wolverines’ class and the new staff who don’t have as many obvious relationships with the regional players who chose Michigan over the Nittany Lions.  Next, we’ll dive into the most recent Penn State recruiting news. Several recruits have backed out of commitments to Iowa State from both the 2026 and 2027 classes. Reporter Ryan Snyder discusses what fans need to know about the situation and which players they should focus on. Are there enough prospects to salvage the situation in 2026? We’ll look at the landscape and discuss the likelihood that Campbell can cobble together prospects. We’ll also discuss the uncommitted prospects that are showing interest in the program now that Campbell is in charge.  However, Snyder also has his eye on 2027. Which Midwest prospects are showing interest in Campbell now that he’s at Penn State? We’ll give fans a handful of names to take away from today’s show.  Penn State transfer portal potential under Campbell  Finally, we’ll discuss the transfer portal. Without a doubt, Campbell will have to use the portal to supplement his team-building plans for year one in Happy Valley. So, what’s his success rate been like over the years at Iowa State?

The next few weeks will be critical for his ability to understand the culture at Penn State and give him a shot at keeping key players on the roster who he will need to have a successful 2026 football season. At the same time, there are players from his previous roster at Iowa State who could follow him to Happy Valley and make an impact next season. Where do those positions overlap from a talent and depth standpoint?

We’ll give you the latest news about which coaches are leaving Happy Valley today. Two assistants are headed down to Virginia this week, and we’ll discuss the potential impact of those moves on the program.  We’ll also give you the latest confirmed information on the staff members that Campbell has brought from Iowa State and what their roles will be.  Penn State and Iowa State offensive roster comparison  For Penn State to have its best chance to compete next fall, Campbell needs to successfully blend together the talent accumulated on the Penn State roster while supplementing and filling holes on the depth chart with key players from his team at Iowa State. While the transfer portal is a third wildcard in the process, today, we’ll focus on the first two.  We’ll break down the offensive roster positions and discuss which starters could join Campbell in Happy Valley from Ames and which Penn State players are critical for him to retain. We’ll cover the quarterback comparison between Ethan Grunkemeyer and Rocco Becht and highlight a situation brewing along the offensive line for Campbell when looking at the two starting units from last season. Can he find the best combination of talent and veteran experience?  Bowl Preview Finally, we’ll preview the Pinstripe Bowl between Penn State and Clemson to end the show.

Reporter Nate Bauer has followed the coaching search closely and will provide key context to the comments from yesterday’s press conference. We’ll also play select quotes from the nearly hour-long press conference for fans to hear in context.

What sort of personality and characteristics did he show? We’ll discuss. Next, we’ll dive into the most interesting answers to questions from the media on Monday.  We’ll start with Kraft and the coaching search, discussing the long saga one last time. Kraft responded to a question about the leaked audio from Thursday night on Dec. 4. We’ll address the situation for the first time on the show and give our thoughts on what was said during the roughly 30 minutes of audio. We’ll also discuss Kraft’s response to the situation on Monday. Campbell’s immediate decision to keep interim head coach Terry Smith on his staff as part of the announcement of his signing was also a topic on Monday. Why was Smith so important? We’ll play you Campbell’s comments and discuss what keeping Smith on staff means for Penn State’s chances of retaining the current roster.  Campbell’s GM decision also came up on Monday. We’ll review Campbell’s outline for program building and use of NIL and the transfer portal. What does Bauer think of the plan as he outlined it? Where are there things not being said to the public? We’ll discuss this key ingredient in the next phase of Penn State’s future.  What’s next? Finally, we’ll spend a few minutes discussing the next steps for the program. What does Campbell need to do in the next three weeks to put Penn State in the best position to have a competitive team in 2026? We’ll discuss the tight window that he has to evaluate the roster, build a staff, and attack the portal for the upcoming year.  #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Click here to sign-up! https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/newsletter/join/ The Penn State Recruiting Class of 2026 was going to be collateral damage. We've been telling fans about that reality for weeks on the BWI Live Recruiting Show. Now, the damage is done, and Penn State officially has a two-man class after the opening of the early signing period in college football's recruiting calendar. On today's show, we'll assess the damage done, what's next for the team, and what it all means now that the team has no recruiting class and no coach. Recruiting reporters Sean Fitz and Ryan Snyder discuss that, plus we look into the team's coaching search two days after athletic director Pat Kraft whiffed on his selected candidate.  Of course, the situation with Penn State's coaching search is in uncharted waters and could conclude at any moment. The best way to stay up-to-date with the latest news and information is to follow along on the Blue White Illustrated message board and with our premium content.

Subscribe here for free and enable notifications. That way, you'll know when we reveal who the next head coach at Penn State will be.  Penn State lands a surprise commit in two-man class As today is a recruiting show, we'll start by discussing the incredibly short list of players that Penn State has signed in its Class of 2026. The once 20-plus-player class has dwindled to one original commit and one familiar face who decided to rejoin the program. Malvern Prep defensive end Jackson Ford stayed committed to the Nittany Lions through the process. We'll discuss his comments as to why he chose to stay with the team through this transition to a new staff.  Next, we'll discuss the fascinating story of quarterback Peyton Falzone. The ultra-talented athlete was committed to the program in the summer, but decommitted late in the summer in favor of Auburn. Of course, the Tigers also fired their coach this year. Falzone then decided to stay home and sign with the program. We'll take you through his journey and fit with the Nittany Lions.  Coaching search latest  Of course, the rest of today's show will be dedicated to the team's pursuit of its next head coach. Where are we now that the team has lost some of the next-best candidates, including Brian Hartline, Bob Chesney, Jeff Brohm, and others? Join the show to find out and to discuss how athletic director Pat Kraft's search has netted an incredible amount of money for other coaches who signed extensions with their schools this year.  #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

BYU head coach Kalani Sitake did an about-face and re-upped with his alma mater after being revealed as the top target in Penn State's coaching search. Now, the program enters national signing day with no coach and seemingly no plan. We sit down to talk with fans about the situation on today's BWI Live Show.  Join the show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube to join the conversation. We'll be discussing the situation as it stands, and what might come next for the program.

The Big Ten will announce individual awards today and tomorrow for the 2025 season. Which players have a chance to win something? Greg Pickel will give you his thoughts about the options.  However, we'll spend most of today's show talking about the current situation with Penn State's head coaching search. Now that Kraft has whiffed on his biggest, most public offer, what happens now? What is a realistic timeline for the coaching hire and, critically, how did we get here? We'll discuss how the length of the coaching search and the current state of affairs change what becomes important for recruiting and roster retention.  Things we learned about the Penn State football team in 2025 Now that the season is fully in the books, we'll take some time today to discuss what we learned about the Penn State football team this past season. The team was ranked second coming into the season, but fell quickly as the team struggled through September and early October.  We'll discuss the things we knew about the team heading into the season and what actually happened on the field throughout the three months of competition.  #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Disaster for Penn State?

On today's BWI Live Show, we'll discuss the news that BYU head coach Kalani Sitaki has emerged as the mystery candidate that athletic director Pat Kraft has targeted as the next leader of the Blue and White.

Penn State targets coach with few ties to program  The news that Sitake is the top candidate for Penn State has been met with very mixed feelings from fans. However, the surface-level comparison between BYU and Penn State is not the only thing at play. We'll discuss the timeline of how Sitake became the top target, what he brings to the table, and what his coaching this week in the Big 12 Championship Game means for the Nittany Lions as a program.  We'll also give you an initial scouting profile on Sitake as a leader and what our early impressions of his coaching are.  Next, we'll dive into the timeline of events now that we know Penn State's top target in the search. What does this news do for the transfer decisions of current players in a positive and a negative light? Will this affect the early signing day? How does the timing of the Big 12 Championship game and a potential spot in the College Football Playoff determine the outcome of this search?  We'll discuss those questions and more! Rutgers Recap  Finally, we'll discuss the current team's final game of the season against Rutgers. We'll recap the offensive performance from the line and run game, plus discuss the maturation of Penn State quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer.

Penn State vs Rutgers As expected, running backs Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton dominated the game plan against a weak Rutgers rush defense. Allen had 107 yards on ten attempts, just at halftime. Singleton chipped in 81 yards and a record-setting score of his own.  However, the defense struggled to stop a feisty Rutgers offense that played its RPO game well to threaten Penn State on the edges of the tackle box and in one-on-one coverage. The Scarlet Knights scored 21 points in the first half to keep the game within three. Yet young quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer operated an impressive scoring drive right before halftime. The Penn State offense ripped off two big passes to go 56 yards in just 26 seconds to kick a field goal and take a lead at halftime before receiving the ball after the break. The Penn State defense struggled for most of the game but came up with two timely plays, a fumble return for a touchdown by Amare Campbell, and a stop on fourth down by Zion Tracy to give Penn State the ball back with under four minutes remaining. Allen then salted the game away with a 47-yard run. Lions head into the postseason Before the season is officially over, be sure to check out the rest of our Penn State Football postgame content.

The team needs to win on Saturday against Rutgers to reach bowl eligibility after a disastrous season. However, things are looking much brighter after the team demolished Nebraska 37-10 on Saturday. The team's Senior Day went off with a bang as the Nittany Lions scored 23 points in the first half and put the game away early in the third quarter.  Today, we'll discuss all of those topics, plus cover interim head coach Terry Smith's press conference from Monday.

What's the latest discussion regarding Penn State's next head coach? We'll discuss where Smith fits into the picture.  Next, the focus shifts to Smith's press conference. What did he say on Monday to reporters? We'll highlight the most important comments and conversations from his weekly media meeting inside Beaver Stadium's media room. We'll discuss his comment about why the Penn State offensive line is playing better, what the team's plan for the transfer portal is, and what he thinks his vision for a Penn State team in his image looks like.  Smith says that if there is football, his team will be playing.  "Yeah, you know, like I mentioned earlier, this is like a playoff game we're playing to get that extra game. Our guys are excited to finish the year out. So far, preparation has gone great. The energy is still in the building. Rutgers is all that matters. It means everything to us in the building, and we're trying to go out and get this victory. In regards to our guys, I would anticipate that our guys are going to play. I'm sure there may be a one-off or two-off here or there with some type of circumstance. We'll just work through that, but I have full anticipation that our guys are going to play."  Penn State vs Nebraska recap Finally, we'll discuss Penn State's win over Nebraska.

Penn State's dynamic duo of Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton combined for 157 yards through three quarters, and Allen broke the all-time rushing record at home on senior day to power the win. Singleton also tied Saquon Barkley's total touchdown record with two touchdowns in the game.  Meanwhile, the Penn State defense made timely stops in the game to help the offense jump out ot a blistering start. The defense gave up a 70-yard drive, but went for it on 4th and 1 from inside the five, but got stopped by Amare Campbell and Zane Durant.  The Huskers had another chance to get points, driving into the red zone, but had to settle for a field goal. That put Nebraska within seven points, which was the last time they were within one score the rest of the game.  More postgame coverage Be sure to stick around for the rest of Blue White Illustrated's postgame coverage. We'll have Terry Smith's postgame press conference following the game, so you can hear it directly from Penn State's leader and find out why critical situations played out as they did. We'll also have our thoughts from the game. Check out the Instant Analysis of the game from Blue White Illustrated reporters at Beaver Stadium for the final time in 2025.  With Rutgers losing to Ohio State earlier in the day, both teams enter the final game at 5-6.

The team is 4-6 and hopes to keep its postseason bowl berth realities alive for another week with a win. However, the news off the field is coming at the team fast and furious, with former head coach James Franklin's introduction at Virginia Tech on Wednesday. We're discussing the recruiting fallout from the moves, plus giving our score predictions for the upcoming game on today's BWI Live Recruiting Show.  Also, be sure to check out the BWI YouTube Channel later today for a special interview with Huskers Online host Sean Callahan. We discuss the upcoming game, and he provides context to Nebraska's season for viewers. The best way to know when we go live or post bonus content is to subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel.  Penn State staffing and recruiting update Yesterday, we announced the news that six of Penn State's support staff had left the program to join Franklin at Virginia Tech. Today, we'll discuss the move with recruiting reporters Ryan Snyder and Sean Fitz. What sort of impact will these moves have on the program? What did those staffers do in the first place? We'll discuss how their absence will change things for Smith and his staff.  Next, we'll dig into the gritty business of Penn State recruiting news. The team has just 11 commits left in the Class of 2026 after several high-profile decommitments in the last seven days. We'll review which players have committed elsewhere, and which ones are heading to Blacksburg for an official visit with Franklin this weekend.  Finally, we'll end with some good news about the one player who has stayed resolutely committed to Penn State through the transition.  Game day recruiting and Nebraska preview  Finally, we'll discuss what fans can expect from the final game day in Happy Valley this coming weekend. Will the team host any commits? Is that even possible with the staff changes?  Then, we'll discuss the on-field matchup between Nebraska and Penn State at 7 pm. Penn State is riding high after its first win under Smith, the team's interim head coach, and is hosting a Nebraska team that also lacks its starting quarterback. Is that enough to push the Nittany Lions over the top of the higher-ranked team? We'll discuss the key matchups on both sides of the ball and then give our score predictions to end the show.  #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Can Penn State Save Its Roster?

However, starting quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer had an uneven game, so the team relied on starting running backs Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton. The duo combined for over 35 touches in the game and over 100 yards.  However, the story of the game was the Penn State defensive line. Defensive end Dani Dennis-Sutton had a strong performance with two sacks and a QB hit to keep the Michigan State offense at bay while Penn State's offense struggled through a third-quarter slump.  Penn State finally put distance between itself and Michigan State in the fourth quarter to get the win.  More Postgame content  Of course, we've got more coverage for you after the game beyond the postgame show. Reporter Greg Pickel is on site in East Lansing to give you his Instant Analysis after the game.

The No. 1 Nittany Lions start the year with a 71-match winning streak, which is the longest active one in college wrestling. The record for wins in a row is 76, and head coach Cael Sanderson's team continues its pursuit of that mark against the Sooners. Roger Kish enters his third season as the Oklahoma head coach. As Sanderson notes, the Sooners had plenty of success in the transfer portal this offseason. Two of the newcomers, Rafael Hipolito (from Virginia Tech) and Peyten Kellar (Ohio) are top 20 portal additions, per InterMat. They wrestle in the 157- and 165-pound weight classes, respectively. Besides those two, who are Nos. 7 and 17 in their respective weight class rankings, per InterMat, Oklahoma also added expected starter Tyson Carmoli from Wyoming at 133, two-time NCAA qualifier Tyler Wells at 141 from Minnesota, Jack Gioffre from Virginia at 149, and senior Brian Soldano from Rutgers at 184 pounds. #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Tune in to find out.  Next, we'll dig into the latest recruiting news for the program. More player are flipping or opening up their commitments. We'll review the latest players to choose other programs and discuss the fallout of what the 2026 recruiting situation is for Penn State heading into the early signing period.  Of course, the team hosted recruits last week against Indiana. Were they able to get critical players to join them on campus for the near-upset victory over Indiana? Reporter Ryan Snyder will discuss how commit Marlen Bright made it back to campus and the significance of his presence to the class.  From there, he'll discuss notable names who joined Bright.  Penn State vs Michigan State Preview  Finally, we'll discuss the upcoming game against Michigan State. Can Penn State finally get a Big Ten win in a season of agonizing defeats? We'll discuss where Penn State can take advantage of the Spartans and how we see this game playing out between the lines.  The biggest wildcard for the Nittany Lions is that there's uncertainty about how Michigan State will play at quarterback. Backup Alessio Milivojevic gave the team a spark and nearly upset Minnesota in the team's Nov. 1, 23-20 loss. Milivojevic completed 71% of his passes for 311 yards in the back-and-forth affair.  Yet starter Aidan Chiles is athletic and dangerous with the ball in his hands. He has 255 yards on designed runs this year and another 157 scrambling. QB containment has been the Achilles Heel of the Penn State defense, so which player will see the field this weekend?  Join the show to hear our discussion on that, and more!  #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Penn State vs Michigan State Preview: Can Lions Finally Win a Big Ten Game? | Recruiting Flips Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We'll also highlight big takeaways from Wrestling Media Day, and the men's basketball team's latest victory.  Next, we'll discuss the state of the Penn State quarterback room. This week, interim head coach Terry Smith said that the program found its quarterback of the future in Ethan Grunkemeyer. Is that true? Reporter Greg Pickel examines the position heading into the uncertain future for the team with a new head coach on the horizon.  Finally, we'll end the first half of today's show by doing a quick practice preview of what we're hoping to see tonight when the Nittany Lions open up the facility for our weekly 10 minutes of viewing.  Draftable stock up date and MSU Preview  Next, we'll dig into the upcoming game between Michigan State and Penn State. Who has the edge when the Lions have the ball? Which team has the advantage on defense? We'll break down the upcoming matchup between the two teams on today's show.  Finally, we'll spend the second half of the show discussing the players with an NFL future after this season. Whether its juniors who can leave early or seniors in their final three games, we'll update the draft stock of veterans on the team who have put up film for the NFL to evaluate this winter and spring.

Penn State pushed the number-two team in the country to the brink on Saturday, but came up just short.  We'll start the show by reviewing what Smith had to say about the team's efforts against Indiana. What happened to change the playcalling after halftime? Why did the defense play so well against the Hoosiers? We'll break down those topics, plus discuss the future of players who may or may not be back in 2025.  Next, we'll discuss the team's performance against Indiana in our own words. What did we think of the team's shift at halftime? How did we think Ethan Grunkemeyer performed against the Indiana defense in his third career start?  We'll also review how the defense was able to keep the game within reach for the offense to make a comeback attempt. We'll also debate if running back Nick Singleton is back to his old form.  Is making a bowl game meaningful? Finally, we'll end the show discussing the next three games and the program's future. Does making a bowl game matter? Does it matter to fans? Weigh in on the conversation by joining the show or by leaving your thoughts as a comment on the video.

Click here to sign-up! https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/newsletter/join/ The Penn State football team once again fought hard but failed to finish, losing to second-ranked Indiana on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. Penn State has not dropped consecutive games to the top two teams in the country in as many weeks. The team is now on an unprecedented six-game losing streak and is winless in conference play.  Discuss the loss and the rest of the season on the Blue White Illustrated LaBatt Postgame Show. We'll break down what happened during the game and how Penn State failed to execute in crunch time when it mattered most. We'll also be taking your questions throughout the hour-long show.  It's also a great time to subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel and Blue White Illustrated. Penn State is coming down the home stretch of the college football season and will name a new head coach in the next few months.  Penn State keeps it close at halftime  The Penn State defense showed up in a much better way to start the game against the Hoosiers. The team allowed 17 points at halftime, but seven came on a short field, thanks to a fumble by starting running back Kaytron Allen during the two-minute drive before halftime. Defensive coordiantor Jim Knowles came out aggressive, collecting six tackles for loss in the first half thanks to run blitzes and pressure.  However, the team's issues with stopping the quarterback run still lingered and allowed Indiana to convert too many third downs. Fernando Mendoza collected 30 yards and a touchdown on four rushing attempts, which also included a first-half sack and loss of yardage.  Penn State offense shows some life  Despite not getting many quality looks and attempts, starting quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer showed poise on Saturday, completing nine of 11 passing attempts for 90 yards, including a 43-yard strike to Trebor Pena, who broke a tackle and got an explosive play with yards after the catch.  However, Penn State tried to throw into the teeth of the Indiana defense too much, and only mounted two drives of more than four plays in the first half.  Penn State roared back in the second half and took a 24-20 lead with two minutes left in the game. However, the team punted with two minutes left in the game, and Indiana marched down the field to get the go-ahead score and win.  More postgame show coverage After the Postgame show, join interim head coach Terry Smith for his post game press conference on the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel as he gives his thoughts on the game. From there, we'll have our Instant Analysis on the field level with our reporters at the game.  #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

That means this week, following a mostly successful trip to the U23 World Championships in late October, the Nittany Lions put out their new roster for the year. We cover all of that and more on a new episode of The Blue-White Illustrated Penn State wrestling show. Host Thomas Frank Carr and reporter Greg Pickel kick things off by looking back at U23 Worlds. Luke Lilledahl, Levi Haines, and Mitchell Mesenbrink all won gold medals. Freshman PJ Duke finished third then. Rocco Welsh, Marcus Blaze, and Josh Barr all also competed but ended up off the medal stand. Barr suffered an injury at U23 Worlds that ended his tournament early. The show uses that as a jumping off point to transition into a look at the 2025-2026 season and the new roster. A written version of our top takeaways is available here. From there, Carr and Pickel look ahead to the season that starts next Friday when Oklahoma comes to the Bryce Jordan Center. You can watch this week's BWI Penn State wrestling show in the embedded player in this article. It is also available on YouTube. And you can find the audio-only version wherever you get your podcasts. #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Penn State Wrestling Show: Roster Update Drops for 2025-26 Season Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The team lost to number-one-ranked Ohio State on Saturday, 38-14, and now faces number-two ranked Indiana this coming weekend.  Reporter Thomas Frank Carr discusses three things he learned about the Penn State Football team during the loss. He discusses a fundamental flaw in the defense based on what Ohio State did to have success on the ground. He also explains how Ohio State went right at the heart of the defensive secondary to get big plays. Finally, he explains why he had a problem with the timing of play calls on offense and how Andy Kotelnicki and the offensive staff didn't put quarerback Ethan Grunkemeyer in the best position to succeed.  #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The program is now on an unprecedented five-game losing streak and is winless in Big Ten play this year. The latest loss was a predictable 38-14 dismantling by Ohio State on the road in Columbus. Today on the BWI Live Show, we'll discuss the loss and what interim head coach Terry Smith had to say about it on Monday during his weekly press conference.  We'll also discuss the game from our perspective, and what we think there is left to salvage for the team as they head home to face second-ranked Indiana on Saturday at noon. Join the show live at 10 a.m. on YouTube to discuss the situation with us! We'll take your questions and comments during the live show to get your reaction to the latest loss.  Of course, if you want to get the latest news as the team is a month out from the early signing period and the potential to name its next head coach, subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube channel!  Terry Smith Press Conference  We'll start with Smith's comments about the game. It's a similar refrain today on Between the Lines, where Smith answers questions about the Penn State passing attack and the lack of involvement for players like Koby Howard and Tyseer Denmark. We'll also discuss Smith's comments about how his former cornerback room let up three explosive pass plays when those were the top priority to stop on Saturday.  Penn State vs Ohio State Recap Next, we'll give our thoughts on how the game played out. Why can't the team pass the football? What makes the offense so frustrating to watch? We'll discuss the issues that the team has and why Liam Clifford is part of the offense as a wildcat quarterback. Finally, we'll discuss how this playcalling is indicative of bad teams.  Next, we'll discuss the defensive effort and whether there's anything the team can build on for the next coaching staff, for players who can return if they choose not to enter the transfer portal.  Finally, we'll look ahead to the final month of this season. Can Penn State make a bowl game? Will the team go to one if they get to six wins? We'll discuss the realities of the situation as we enter the final month of the 2025 season to see what is in store for the wounded Penn State football team.  #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Click here to sign-up! https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/newsletter/join/ The Penn State Nittany Lions football team fell to the number-one-ranked Ohio State on Saturday. It's the fifth loss in a row for the Lions, who are now 3-5 and winless in Big Ten play. Interim head coach Terry Smith deployed new ideas on offense and defense after the team's bye week, but it wasn't enough to help the team overcome the highly talented Buckeyes. Join the Labatt Postgame Show to discuss the loss, what it means for the team's 2025 season, and what the team tried to do differently this week. We'll be taking your questions, comments, and thoughts about the game for the duration of the hour-long show.  Want to know when we go live after the game?

That way, you know when to join the postgame show after the final whistle, when we post the postgame press conference from Smith, and more. Your home for the final stretch of the Penn State football season is Blue White illustrated!  Penn State drops its fifth straight game Despite the loss, Penn State went down swinging. In a battle of two teams determined to play methodical football, the Lions matched the Buckeyes in the first half. Despite uneven play to start the game, the offense put together a 15-play 75-yard drive that took up nearly eight minutes of game time in the second quarter before a Nick Singleton touchdown brought the game within three points.  From there, it was a battle of big-play moments where the Penn State defense once again failed to sack the quarterback on third down, and Ohio State passer Julian Sayin scrambled for a first down on third and five. Soon after, he tossed a 45-yard touchdown to Carnell Tate to extend the lead by seven.  Things looked bleak with four minutes left in the first half as Penn State punted on the following drive, giving Ohio State the chance to double-dip before halftime. However, CJ Donaldson fumbled the ball and Chaz Coleman picked it up, returning it to the 13-yard line. Penn State then punched the ball in to score before halftime.  However, Ohio State made adjustments after halftime, and the Buckeyes' offense was just too much for the Penn State defense. The Buckeyes compiled three plays of 50-plus yards on three straight drives to blow the game open and get the runaway win.   More postgame content  Of course, you don't want to miss Smith's comments after the loss to Ohio State. We'll have those for you moments after his press conference concludes here on the YouTube Channel. We'll also have reporter Greg Pickel's thoughts on how the game played out and what he saw from the press box in his Instant Analysis.  Things don't get easier for the Nittany Lions, who face Indiana, the second-ranked team in the country, at home next week. We'll have coverage wrapping up the loss to Ohio State on Sunday and Monday, before shifting focus to the next game with Smith's Monday press conference next week.  #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We'll discuss the update with him and ask which name in which category surprised him the most. Which candidate do you want the most?

Of course, Penn State is a 20-plus point underdog on the road this week. Will Smith use that as motivation for his team? He was asked about that, and we'll discuss his answer on the show.  Finally, we'll dissect his comments about the passing game and offensive coordiantor Andy Kotelnicki.

A 5-foot-10, 175-pound receiver from Appoquinimink in Delaware, Rogers emerged on Penn State’s radar in June 2024 when he participated in a 7-on-7 tournament. Not only can he run a 4.3-second 40-yard dash, but Rogers has also surpassed 11 feet in the broad jump, making him one of the most athletic players in the region, regardless of class. Once Rogers made it clear on Oct. 13 that he was open to speaking with coaches elsewhere, a flood of news schools started showing interest. He set official visits with Oklahoma, Nebraska and Alabama but ended up switching his commitment to the Sooners following his official visit this past weekend.

First, though, seven Lions will compete at the U23 World Championships. And two future Nittany Lions just took the mat at the prestigious Super 32 high school tournament last weekend in North Carolina.

It is also available on BWI's YouTube page and wherever you get your podcasts. This week's episode starts with a Super 32 recap. Standout junior and Class of 2027 Penn State commit Landon Sidun did not compete after winning Who's Number One two weekends ago in Iowa. But, two other future Nittany Lions did take the mat. Class of 2026 commit Sam Herring, who is from Johnstown, Pa., Bishop McCort, beat New York native and Class of 2027 Lions pledge Gavin Mangano in the 138-pound semifinals, 4-2. From there, he lost 1-0 to Minnesota commit Tyler Dekraker in the finals. Mangano, meanwhile, would go on to finish third. From there, the show moves into a preview of the U23 World Championships. The men's freestyle action is broken up over four days. #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Penn State Wrestling Show: Super 32 Recap and U23 Worlds Preview Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Another week without a head coach is bringing more decommitments and official visits for prospects to different schools. We'll be discussing and dissecting the fallout on today's BWI Live Recruiting Show. Join reporters Sean Fitz and Ryan Snyder as they break down the latest news about the program, including the timeline for players to make a decision and the latest decommitments.

Several players have announced their decisions to decommit from the program and look for a new place to play football. We'll also discuss defensive tackle Alex Haskell's decision to skip that part and flip to Syracuse this week.  Next, we'll outline the latest info on where players plan to visit in the coming weeks. Can Penn State's current staff fend off the attack from other top schools to keep players in the program long enough for athletic director Pat Kraft to find the next head coach?  Must-keep players  Penn State doesn't have a top-five class by any means, but there are some very talented players in the 2026 recruiting cycle. Today, we'll discuss which players are must-keep prospects in the 2026 class. If Penn State can get any players to stick around, this group is essential to be on that list. We'll discuss why linebackers Elijah Littlejohn and Terry Wiggins are part of this group, along with safety Darrell Carey.  What's the timeline for enrollment?  Finally, Snyder will discuss the timeline for how long players can wait around to find out who will be Penn State's next head coach. Snyder will give a rough outline of the recruiting calendar and its intricacies to give fans an understanding of how the program could make changes in December and still get key players to enroll early for the coming year.  #PennState  #NittanyLions   JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Click here to sign-up! https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/newsletter/join/ The Penn State Nittany Lions football team dropped its fourth-straight game in conference play to fall to 3-4 on Saturday night. The team, fresh off the emotional blow of head coach James Franklin's firing, couldn't get it done on the road and lost to the Iowa Hawkeyes. We'll discuss the game, how the team responded to the week, and what another loss means to the program.  Join the show live immediately following the game to discuss the loss. We'll be talking with fans for roughly an hour about what led to the defeat and what the team's outlook is now that it's struggling for bowl eligibility.  The Penn State football team fights to close finish  Interim head coach Terry Smith fired up his team this week and found the right combination on offense and defense to play a close game with the Hakweyes. Defensively, Zakee Wheatley got an interception on Iowa's first drive of the game, which Penn State turned into a touchdown. After a field goal by Iowa, the team traded punts for much of the first half. Then, after an Ethan Grunkemeyer interception set up an Iowa touchdown, it seemed that all was going the wrong way for the Nittany Lions.  Penn State punted with roughly a minute left in the first half, and Iowa set up for a 66-yard field goal. Defensive tackle Xavier Gilliam blocked the attempt, and Elliot Washington returned the block for a touchdown before half. The team then scored coming out of halftime to take a 21-10 lead.  However, the Nittany Lions tried to go for a fourth and one from their own 40-yard line, which tight end Luke Reynolds did not convert. Penn State and Iowa traded drives in the fourth quarter but Iowa QB Mark Granowski broke a long 67-yard run to set up the go-ahead touchdown for the Hawkeyes.  More Postgame Coverage Hear what interim head coach Terry Smith had to say after the game in his postgame press conference. Blue White Illustrated is out on the road in Iowa, and reporter Greg Pickel will bring you Smith's comments, plus his own thoughts on the game afterward, with our weekly Instant Analysis.  The team now gets a much-needed bye week and will need to find its composure as the team is now in the thick of its toughest road of Big Ten games.
