The team hosts the Mustangs on what's expected to be a cold, windy day at Beaver Stadium. Today, we'll give you our predictions for what we think will happen this weekend. We'll also give you the latest portal and recruiting news from experts Sean Fitz and Ryan Snyder. Join the show live at 10 a.m. on YouTube or catch the replay embedded in the article below, on the channel or wherever you get your podcasts! Penn State Recruiting Update It's a slow time of year for recruiting, with all but the last bits of Penn State's recruiting efforts in 2025 wrapped up. The portal is open, but the closer we get to game day, the fewer nuggets there are. However, Fitz and Snyder are the best in the business and still have some interesting tidbits to share on the show. Snyder spoke with 2026 wide recevier commit Jerquaden Guildford this week to understand why he pulled the trigger early on Penn State. He'll share parts of that interview and what his inclusion in the upcoming class represents. Next, we'll discuss Penn State's open practice from Wednesday night. The team opened the doors of Holuba Hall for the media to get a brief glimpse of what was going on between the lines for the Nittany Lions as they prepared for SMU. We'll discuss some takeaways from practice and then discuss some of James Franklin's comments afterward. Transfer portal We've discussed the transfer portal daily on the BWI Live show this week. There have been several updates since our last conversation on Wednesday morning, including news about the team's first signee, wide recevier Kyron Hudson. We'll relate that update to you and also discuss what we know about linebacker Kendal Daniels and his potential fit with the program. Penn State vs SMU  game preview and predictionsOf course, the most important event on the calendar for Penn State is the game this weekend. The team has worked since January for the right to play in the College Football Playoff, and that starts on Saturday at noon. We'll preview the game from both sides of the football and give our score predictions to end the show. Join us live and put your thoughts and score predictions in the live chat. We'll answer your questions and give your takes throughout the show! #PennState  #NittanyLions  JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationGet the 2024 Penn State Football Preview Magazine at https://bit.ly/PSU24PreviewBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com Download our podcasts: https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/LRL3155877513?selected=DSVV2664982394Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3Sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.comPenn State vs. SMU Predictions | Will Lions Take the Next Step in the CFP?
