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 2026In 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=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark 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/PennStateOn3Penn State’s Portal Blitz Rolls On: New Commit, Visits & Big Needs Remain Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On today’s BWI Live Show, we’ll try to sort through the flood of information and make sense of it all for Penn State fans. We’ll discuss the names you need to know from the Iowa State transfer list, the players visiting and committing who aren’t former Cylcones, plus the latest from the defensive coach reset. Join the BWI Live Show today at 10 a.m. to discuss all of that and more!

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 departuresIn 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.

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/3KzEcqKCheck 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/OeZg2zUse Code PSU20 to get 20 percent off Rhoback’s Gameday Collection: https://rhoback.com/collections/pennsylvania-state-university-licensed-collectionWant 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 OneThere 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!

Three-star wide receiver Ben Whitver flipped from JMU to the Nittany Lions, making him the tenth player in the Class of 2026. So is Penn State settling on a player that won’t cut it in the Big Ten? Or did every other school, including the previous staff, miss on Whitver? We’ll take you inside his impressive Under Armour camp from last summer and give you a film analysis of his performance from his senior season. #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_confirmationBookmark 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.

After a cold, sloppy first half, the Lions battled the elements to get the win in adverse conditions.

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 TigersIt 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 contentOf 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?

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 offersBeyond 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=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark 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.

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 discuss the positions on offense and defense where we think young players will be thrust into the starting lineup or key role player position.

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 OutsNext, 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=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark 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=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark 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=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark 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?RecruitingFrom 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.

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.

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.

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'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 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=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark 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 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 2025Now 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=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark 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/PennStateOn3Disaster for Penn State?

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 postseasonBefore the season is officially over, be sure to check out the rest of our Penn State Football postgame content.

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 coverageBe sure to stick around for the rest of Blue White Illustrated's postgame coverage.

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.

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.

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=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark 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.

Today on the BWI Live Recruiting Show, we'll discuss how those three weeks are also critical for the team's recruiting efforts heading into the early signing period in December. How will Penn State navigate this weekend and beyond? We'll discuss all of that and share our thoughts on today's practice viewing session on the show. Join us live at 10 a.m. on YouTube to discuss your thoughts as well! We'll be taking your questions and comments throughout the show to see what's on your mind this week. Penn State practice update and recruiting news Penn State held open practice on Wednesday evening in a truncated fashion. We'll spend a few minutes discussing what we saw in the two-period open viewing session for the media. What did we see? 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=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark 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/PennStateOn3Penn State vs Michigan State Preview: Can Lions Finally Win a Big Ten Game? | Recruiting Flips Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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.

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 coverageAfter 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.

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.

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=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark 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.

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.

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 RecapNext, 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=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark 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.

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.

Your home for the final stretch of the Penn State football season is Blue White illustrated! Penn State drops its fifth straight gameDespite 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=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark 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.

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. We will also outline the players Penn State must keep through the transition to salvage this year's team-building efforts. Join the show live at 10 a.m. on YouTube to be part of the conversation.

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=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark 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 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 CoverageHear 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. The team will head out to Columbus, Halloween weekend, to face the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Click here to sign-up! https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/newsletter/join/The Penn State Nittany Lions did it again, and not in a good way. Penn State lost to Northwestern, dropping to 3-3 on the season and winless in conference play. What's more, they may have lost their starting quarterback. The team fell in another frustrating performance, thanks to a listless defense and special teams that allowed Northwestern a late lead. Then, quarterback Drew Allar left the game with a lower-leg injury. Join the BWI Live postgame show to discuss the loss and what it means for the teams going forward. We'll be taking your questions and comments on the show as the team struggles to find its way. Penn State's ugly season gets uglier The Penn State defense once again struggled to get off the field, giving up multiple ten-plus play drives to Northwestern, aided by penalties and special teams blunders. The defense allowed Northwestern quarterback Preston Stone to get into a rhythm, completing 65% of his attempts. The team's sloppy performance on defense included two face-mask penalties and another offside on third down. Penn State's offense fails to convert in the second half Penn State's offense was much less anemic early in the game, with Kaytron Allen gaining 59 yards in the first half. However, a Drew Allar interception on the team's first drive, after a blocked punt, ended the team's first scoring opportunity. Late in the game, a muffed punt by Devonte Ross set up Northwestern with a field goal attempt to take the lead. Penn State returned fire with a 67-yard catch and run from Ross, which set the team up for a one-yard Drew Allar score. However, the defense broke down on the return drive from Northwestern, allowing a touchdown and a 22-21 lead for the Wildcats. On the ensuing possession, Allar hurt his ankle on a third-down stop, and backup quarterback Ethan Gurnkemery found the same success on fourth down. Penn State's defense failed to stop Northwestern, and the  Wildcats held the clock.More hard questions for Penn StateThe wheels have truly come off for the Penn State football team. Head coach James Franklin's comments after the game are here on the Blue White Illustrated YouTube channel. We'll have those moments after its conclusion. We'll also have Instant Analysis from the sidelines of Beaver Stadium with reporters Sean Fitz, Nate Bauer, and Greg Pickel. What happens next for the Lions? The next few days will be very tense in Happy Valley. #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_confirmationBookmark 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.

Through the first four games, the team's offense struggled to play with consistency and to put up points on a regular basis, even against subpar teams.

Join the Penn State Football postgame show to discuss the loss, and what it means for the Nittany Lions. The Lions are now 3-2 and 0-2 in conference play. Penn State defense gets off-kilter from UCLA attackLast week, the Penn State defense gave up over 400 yards to the Oregon offense in a nail-biting, overtime loss to Oregon in which they only surrendered 3 points through 40 minutes of game time. This week, they surrendered nearly 300 yards and 27 points in the first half. UCLA's new-look offense shifted its focus and dialed up an unexpected game plan for the Nittany Lions, focusing on short, quick passes. Quarterback Nico Iamaleava was 14-18 before halftime with 158 passing yards and two touchdowns as a result. Once UCLA had Penn State off-balance, they threw deep passes over the heads of the Penn State corners, completing passes against Zion Tracy and Elliot Washington in man coverage. Penn State offense is effective but rarely on the fieldMeanwhile, the Penn State offense sat on its hands for most of the first half. UCLA dropped a surprise onside kick to take back-to-back possessions to start the game. Despite an effective opening drive in which the team marched down the field 10 plays for 75 yards and a touchdown in just four and a half minutes, the offense was rarely on the field. Penn State had just three possessions during the first half. One of the key possessions in that half was right before the break. Penn State had all three timeouts and the ball near midfield. Penn State head coach James Franklin opted to drain the clock on the front half of the drive, but his team failed to convert a fourth and 4. UCLA took the ball over on downs with two timeouts left and gained enough yardage for a field goal to go up 27-7. Despite a furious comeback in the second half, Penn State's defense only forced one punt and a long field goal attempt.Next up for Penn StateWhat did Franklin have to say after the loss? Check out his postgame comments here on the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel after the show. We'll also have reactions from the staff here on the site. Penn State takes on Northwestern at home to try to right the ship for homecoming.  #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_confirmationBookmark 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 atmosphere provided by the fans was electric to a new level and provided an incredible backdrop for the team's recruiting efforts, which we've chronicled on the BWI Live Recruiting Show for over a month.

We'll discuss the impact on the defense, the team, and what happens next for the program. White Out recruiting recapWe discussed the White Out list for over a month on the Recruiting Show, heading into the biggest game of the team's home schedule. Now that the dust is settling from the event, what was the impact? Reporter Sean Fitz details what he's learned about the team's recruiting influence from the event and what he thinks will come from the game. We'll also outline a flurry of recruiting predictions from Steve Wiltfong in favor of the Nittany Lions after the game. UCLA PreviewFinally, we'll end the show discussing the upcoming game against the floundering UCLA Bruins. The team fired yet another coordinator on Tuesday of this week, giving Penn State an unprecedented challenge of preparing for a team with almost no on-field history before the game. What does the Penn State offense need to do to get on track? What do we expect from the team on that side of the ball? We'll break down the adjustments and expectations for the Lions out in LA this weekend. Finally, we'll detail what UCLA can do on offense and how the team can manage to execute a strong defensive game plan without Rojas on the field. Join the show at 10 a.m. to give your thoughts and score predictions.

Blue White Illustrated learned on Wednesday that starting linebacker Tony Rojas suffered a long-term injury and will be out for the foreseeable future. The defense was already paper-thin at linebacker, with only Rojas, Amare Campbell, and veteran Dom DeLuca seeing snaps with the starting unit. Last week against the Ducks, DeLuca only played eight defensive snaps, while Rojas played 70 and Campbell played 75 of the 80 total snaps on defense. We discuss what the next steps are for the Penn State defense under Jim Knowles and discuss how important Rojas was to the scheme. We'll highlight the next players up and what the team can do from here. #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_confirmationBookmark 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/PennStateOn3BREAKING:  Penn State Linebacker Tony Rojas Suffers Long Term Injury | Fallout Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The team will have its final practice on the East Coast tonight, which the media will be able to attend. Yet with all of that, including another game looming the horizon, we're spending another day talking about the Penn State offense and how the team can right the ship on today's BWI Live Show. Join us as we discuss the quick and long-term fixes in the offense that can help the team find a more potent combination of scheme and talent on the field. Join the show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube as we discuss the program, preview practice, and the latest news.

The LA Times reported last night that offensive coordinator Tino Sunseri has parted ways with the program, and Jerry Neuheisel will take over as playcaller. How does this affect Penn State's game plan for the Bruins? What could change in such a short order? We'll discuss the impact of such a move on this weekend's game. Penn State offensive fixes During Monday's press conference, Penn State head coach James Franklin fielded multiple questions about how his offense has performed and what it might need to do in order to change the narrative around the program. Today, we'll utilize some of that information, along with our own research into the offensive output, and propose some short-term and long-term solutions that can help reignite the Lions' offensive productivity. We'll look at the run game and how the team can reorganize its ground attack. However, the bulk of our time will be spent examining the Penn State passing attack and how the team can improve its ineffective aerial offense. Despite the anger and concern, there might be some quick fixes that could spell a positive outcome for the program's top quarterback, Drew Allar. Then, we'll examine some longer-term changes to the offense that may take time but would be worth considering. Best Bets and UCLA Preview Finally, we'll look at the game from a prognostication standpoint and discuss Penn State's over-under in this week's Best Bets segment. We'll end the show discussing UCLA's offense and defense as we've seen it to give fans an expectation of how this weekend should go. #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_confirmationBookmark 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.

Emotions were high in the White Out, and the fallout of another big game loss is fueling the deepening frustration between a growing section of the fanbase and its team. Today on the BWI Live Show, we'll talk about the game, Penn State head coach James Franklin's comments on Monday about the loss, and of course, your questions. Got frustrations you want to vent?

Your home for Penn State football is Blue White Illustrated! Penn State vs Oregon recap Most of today's show, as it has for the first month of the season, will deal with the Penn State offense. This time, we're recapping the team's loss to Oregon and spending most of the show's first half discussing the three points and 109 yards the team gained before the fourth quarter. What's wrong with that side of the ball? We'll give our thoughts on what happened and where the blame should fall after the loss. Of course, some fans are unhappy with the 400+yards the defense gave up on Saturday, despite holding Oregon to just three points through halftime and 17 points through regulation. We'll discuss how the defense performed and what they need to do to play a stingier brand of football. Between the LinesAfter we give our reaction to the game, we'll turn our attention to Franklin's comments during his Monday press conference. How does the team bounce back and make adjustments? How hard are those adjustments to make? We'll share Franklin's thoughts with you and then provide an interpretation of his words. Fitz's recruiting update Finally, we'll give a quick recap of the recruiting news from this past weekend. Over 100 recruits attended the game and experienced one of the best atmospheres in college football. How did the overall presentation and game go over with the team's top targets? We'll discuss that in Fitz's Recruiting Update. Want to discuss something that we didn't mention today? Join the live show at 10 a.m. on The Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel.

The Penn State Nittany Lions football team lost to the Oregon Ducks in the 2025 White Out game. It was another big game opportunity to make a statement for the program, and the team fell at home, despite an electric atmosphere from the crowd. Join the BWI Live Postgame show to discuss what happened and how the team let the latest regular-season win slip away. We're live at the final whistle of the game on YouTube and will spend an hour with fans discussing their thoughts on the game while breaking down the action from our perspective. If you're waking up on Sunday morning and want to learn more about the game, check out the BWI Live Show on replay in this article, on the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel, and wherever you get your podcasts. Penn State struggle on offense in another big game The Penn State offense failed to show up in another big game. The team gained just 69 yards in the first half and scored a field goal early in the game. Unsurprinsgly, the offense was poor on third down again tonight, going only 4-11 (36%) through the third quarter. The offense woke up late, with a 34-yard touchdown strike from quarterback Drew Allar to receiver Devonte Ross. Penn State had the ball with four minutes left in the game down seven points, but the offense failed to punch the end zone to tie the game up. Defense plays a warrior's game With the offense struggling, the Nittnay Lions defense was able to keep the team in the game against an explosive and dangerous Oregon offense. Penn State gave up yards, but kept a lid on Dakorien Moore and Dante Moore, the talented duo at receiver and quarterback for Oregon. Linebaker Amare Campbell and safety Zakee Wheatley led the team in tackles and plays throughout the game, but wore down late, giving up two touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters to give up an insurmountable lead. More Postgame coverage: Of course, you'll also likely want to know what Penn State head coach James Franklin had to say after the game. We'll have his full press conference comments on our YouTube Channel following the loss. Then, stick around for Instant Analysis from the field level as Greg Pickel, Nate Bauer, and Sean Fitz give you their reactions to the game.

We'll highlight the list overall, and break it out into different sections. Snyder wrote several articles about the players coming to campus this weekend, including the players for whom Penn State is truly a contender and those who are coming but are pretenders in the race for a spot with the Nittany Lions.

Today on the BWI Live Recruiting Show, we'll discuss what the team is up to this weekend, and more importantly, what the coaches will be doing on the recruiting front. With a massive number of recruits coming to Happy Valley for the White Out Game next weekend, the recruiting blitz is on for Penn State. Join the show as we give fans an early preview of who is coming to the biggest home game of the season.

With the changes in NCAA rules, the gates are now open for the players on those rosters to enter the transfer portal. What does this mean for Penn State and its roster? Fitz and Snyder will discuss the potential opportunities for adding players and how that process works in the current landscape. Next, we'll discuss the most important visitor from last weekend's win over Villanova. Five-star running back Kemon Spell was supposed to join the program for the game against FIU the week before but an ankle injury prevented him from making the trip. Instead, Spell made the trip to Happy Valley last weekend. We'll discuss what it means for the team to get its top recruit for 2027 back on campus two weekends in a row. Nonconference recruiting recapAfter that, we'll transition into discussing how the first three games of the season went for the team's recruiting efforts. Snyder has been tracking who is showing up on campus for the team's non-conference games and gives us a broad look at what Penn State accomplished in the last month. We'll follow that up with a White Out preview and what fans should expect about one week from the biggest home game of the recruiting calendar for this cycle. Coaches on the road and the Rivals 300 update Finally, we'll discuss the recruiting plan for the team this weekend. With the extra time to recruit, Penn State's coaches will be out on the road seeing commits and prospects. How has this changed over the previous years?

Snyder outlines the biggest movers on the list.  #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_confirmationBookmark 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.

Most indications are that this would be a good place to be. Yet why are there alarm bells ringing and fire alarms going off inside the Penn State fan base? Today on the BWI Live Show, we'll discuss the 52-6 win over Villanova. Then, we will discuss how the team has played through the first three games of the season to try to understand why it feels like an uncomfortable and uneasy undefeated start. As always, you can join the show live at 10 am on YouTube to be part of the conversation.

Why did the offense struggle to find its rhythm again? What were the challenges that 'Nova presented to the offense? We'll discuss our thoughts on the game, focusing on both the offense and defense. Next, we'll transition to the broader picture of the program's operation in the first three weeks of this year. It's fair to say that Penn State's offensive stars, Drew Allar and Nick Singleton, have not been playing like stars. Is there a reason why? We'll give our thoughts on what we've learned about the program and what Franklin has said this month that has informed our opinions. We'll also look at the Penn State defense and what we've learned about that side's progress through the first month of the calendar to assess if they're ready to take on Oregon next weekend in the White Out Game. Finally, we'll preview open practice, which is tonight at 5 pm. What do we think we'll see at practice? We'll discuss the team's plans for the next steps in recruiting and why the team is working today instead of on Wednesday.   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_confirmationBookmark 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/PennStateOn3Penn State vs Villanova Recap: What To Take From Latest "Uncomfortable" Win Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Nittany Lions offense once again looked uncomfortable against FCS Villanova. Join the BWI Live Labatt Postgame Show to discuss the win and what you thought of the game and the team's performance through three games. We'll be taking your questions and comments throughout the sixty-minute show. Penn State puts up 21 points in the first halfOnce again, the Penn State offense failed to look crisp and effective in the first half of the game. Quarterback Drew Allar had a 50% completion percentage and only 80 yards passing in the second quarter. Much of that came at the two-minute warning when he found receiver Trebor Pena on a 21-yard touchdown strike to cap the team's two-minute drive. The run game also struggled to blow away the crowd. Nick Singleton led the team with 20 carries before the backups came in for the fourth quarter. He rushed for 84 yards but failed to rip off long runs or break tackles. However, he did find the end zone twice. The offense focused on the receivers early, with Pena leading the squad, tallying 60 yards on four catches, including seven targets. However, the big plays once again came from the tight ends. Luke Reynolds ripped off a 22-yard catch and run and caught four catches for 73 yards and a score. Defense gives the Nittany Lions breathing room on offenseOn the flip side, the Penn State defense was the dominant force that fans wanted from the team. They allowed just six yards in the first quarter and amassed 45 of their 69 yards in the first half on one 45-yard drive that ended in a missed field goal. The starting defense allowed just three drives that didn't result in a three-and-out. The linebackers were once again heavily involved in the action. Amare Campbell had three tackles for a loss, and Tony Rojas had two to lead the team. Both players were the leading tacklers with 5 and 7, respectively. The duo also tallied three combined sacks, thanks to suffocating coverage. The team used both to spy the Villanova quarterbacks, resulting in late-down pressures. What's next for the team?Penn State enters its first bye week of the season and seems to have gone through the first three games with no major injuries to starters in game action. The team will need to sharpen its play on offense because top-five Oregon comes to town on Sept. 27 for the annual White Out game. #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_confirmationBookmark 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/PennStateOn3Penn State vs Villanova Postgame Show: Offense Still Uneven in Blowout Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It will likely be a slow recruiting weekend with an FCS team in town, but recruiting is about to heat up. The team goes on a bye following the game, which means the coaches will be hitting the road to recruit for a few days before returning to prepare for Oregon in the 2025 White Out Game. Today, we'll do an early preview of the coming weeks, plus discuss Wednesday night practice, and preview the game on Saturday. Penn State practice update Last night, the Penn State football team held open practice to the media, and Blue White Illustrated was there to gather intel about the team. We'll discuss what we saw and heard from the Nittany Lions to start the show. Reporter Sean Fitz checked out the defensive side of the ball and wrote notes on his observations last night. He'll discuss some of those, plus you can see our offensive highlights from last night during the live show. Bye week and White Out PreviewWhile the recruiting lists to begin the season have been much better than expected, the team's recruiting intensity and importance are about to hit a fever pitch for the next few weeks. After the game against Villanova, Penn State enters its first bye week of the season. Typically on bye weeks, the coaching staff hits the road for a few days before coming back to Happy Valley to prepare for the next game. We'll preview how that process works, and what fans should expect from the next week in terms of recruiting news and visits. Is it too early to start talking about flip targets? Fitz will discuss how the process works. From there, the team hosts Oregon in the White Out for one of the most anticipated games at Beaver Stadium in quite some time. Over 60 recruits are already confirmed for the event and we'll do a quick preview of the players that stand out from the crowded list of high school stars. Villanova game preview Finally, the team still needs to win against Villanova on Saturday. Yet after two games that didn't feel as dominant as they might have, will Penn State surge past the Wildcats in the final non-conference game? We'll discuss the game and the areas where Penn State can grow and learn from the schematic tendencies that Villanova presents to them. Join the show to hear more about what to expect this weekend! #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_confirmationBookmark 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 resulted in just seven points thanks to the team's decision to go for it on fourth down on the first and third drives, resulting in a turnover. While the team moved the ball, they once again struggled to hit big plays in the run or passing game. Allar underthrew a deep pass to Devonte Ross , which resulted in a pass interference call, and running back Nick Singleton had several big runs of ten-plus yards, but failed to convert several opportunities into explosive play touchdowns. Finally, Drew Allar hit Ross on a 42-yard touchdown pass into contested coverage. to put Penn State up by three scores. Defense pitches a shutout On the other side, the Penn State defense wasn't perfect, but they did pitch a shutout, allowing the offense time to grind out yards and touchdowns. Keyone Jenkins kept the team in the game with timely passing plays and conversions, including two fourth downs. Running back Kejon Owens also averaged over five yards per carry throughout the game, with a long of 21 yards. Freshman Chaz Coleman had another strong game, with three tackles, a pass breakup, a QB hit, and a tackle for a loss. More Postgame Coverage After the postgame show, check out Penn State head coach James Franklin's postgame press conference to hear what Franklin thought of his team's performance.

Not to be out-shined, senior Dani Dennis-Sutton domianted against the Nevada offensive line. Dennis-Sutton collected one sack, two tackles for loss a pass breakup, a QB hit and forced two fumbles in a dominant performance to start the year. Nevada was able to keep the game somewhat respectable through the first half, largely thanks to the legs of quarterback Chubba Purdy. Purdy rushed 14 times for 55 yards including an explosive run that resulted in a redzone trip and a field goal early. However, Penn State's stingy coverage unit gave up little through the air with Purdy staying under 100 yards passing until late in the fourth quarter when the second string entered the game. Offense plays efficient game Senior quarterback Drew Allar wasn't flashy, but he was ultra-efficient in his day under center. He finished 22-26 for 217 yards and a touchdown in the win. His 85% completion percentage was one of his career highs, and Allar looked calm under pressure, delivering a touchdown strike to Kyron Hudson while rolling to his right in the second quarter. Of course, the biggest development was the team's passing game going through its wide receivers in the team's win. Trebor Pena caught seven passes on eight targets for 74 yards, and former USC Trojan Kyron Hudson caught six passes for 89 yards and a touchdown on the day. Late in the game, backup quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer shone on his fourth-quarter drive, going 4-6 with a beautiful strike to Khalil DInkins for 24 yards. He ended the drive with a six-yard touchdown scramble. BWI Postgame coverage Follow BWI's postgame coverage after the game.

While there are still loose ends in the Class of 2026, the team will focus heavily on 2027 to get a jump on the recruiting process for the next cycle. While we're in the middle of a two-month dead period, Ryan Snyder has been working ahead to secure the names of players who plan to attend Penn State in the fall. He's also been interviewing players to get to know their stories ahead of the mad dash to January. Join the BWI Live Show as we discuss those topics, plus the major news that Penn State missed out on its quarterback target of choice for 2027, Peter Bourque, this week. The BWI Live show airs at 10 a.m. on YouTube. You can join us to discuss your Penn State football recruiting thoughts and opinions by joining the live chat during the show. If you can't make the show live, you can always catch the show on replay in the channel, here in this article, or anywhere you get your podcasts. Penn State loses out in 2027 QB Dominoes Penn State Class of 2027 target Peter Bourque was a regular in Happy Valley over the last two summers. The New England native attended several camps and was clearly the team's top quarterback target for the upcoming cycle. It was a recruitment that most Penn State fans should have felt good about. Then, suddenly, Bourque committed to Michigan earlier this week. Or, at least that's how it felt. We'll discuss the situation with Snyder and what his read of Penn State's most recent QB recruiting loss means for the program. Where does the team turn next? We'll dive into the dominoes that are now falling for the top remaining targets for the next cycle. Also, after trying to recruit two quarterbacks for the last two cycles, can the team rebound and find two passers to join the ranks of the Nittany Lions signal callers? Penn State recruit and commit stories Snyder has spent the last several weeks getting in touch with recruits to get to know them and their plans for the fall better. We'll outline several of his conversations, including how the unlikely pair of PA safety Matt Seig and California QB Troy Huhn bonded in the Class of 2026. Finally, we'll preview the upcoming fall football season for the rising seniors and discuss which players Snyder thinks have the best chance of rising up the recruiting rankings to make Penn State's profile for this cycle look better than it currently is. Join the show live at 10 a.m. to discuss the latest Penn State recruiting news with BWI!#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_confirmationBookmark 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/PennStateOn3Penn State loses out on 2027 QB Target Peter Bourque | Who is next?

After those announcements in January and February, the team went further by adding three wide receivers in the winter and spring transfer portal.

With most of the class wrapped up, it's time to look ahead to 2027. The rising juniors will be putting together the most important film of their high school careers for most of them as the majority of their offers will happen after this season. With that in mind, we're getting Penn State fans acquainted with the Pennsylvania players they need to know before that happens. Which prospects are at the top of the recruiting board? Which ones are on the rise and which ones are on the radar? Recruiting reporter Ryan Snyder will break all of that down for you today. Join the BWI Live Recruiting Show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube! If you can't make the show live, be sure to catch the replay anytime on our channel, embedded in this article, or anywhere you get your podcasts. Penn State recruiting newsDespite the dead period, there's plenty of Penn State recruiting news this week. Not all of it is good for the Lions, however. Top 2027 commit, Kemon Spell, has decided to take visits to other schools this fall. Snyder will break down what Spell told him on the matter and which schools Spell plans to visit. We'll also discuss the impact on recruiting and revisit the top reasons for hope in Spell's recruitment. Next, we'll discuss Penn State's other skill play committed for this cycle, Khalil Taylor. Taylor made the decision to switch schools weeks before the start of his junior season.

Then he'll dig deeper into the region for the players that are on the bubble this year, from a quality target to a high-priority prospect. Finally, he'll review the rest of the notable players that may not be on Penn State's radar, but could find their way to the table with a strong junior season. Lastly, we'll discuss the players who have already told BWI that they plan to attend the White Out Game against Oregon at the end of September. #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_confirmationBookmark 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/PennStateOn3Getting to know the Penn State Recruiting Targets for 2027 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

However, there are still underrated aspects of the 2025 season that we'll discuss on today's show. With camp starting this week, we'll dive into a few of those topics to begin the show. We'll also outline our broad expectations for what we think of training camp this Fall. Penn State depth chart battles: Defensive edition We focused exclusively on Penn State's receiver position on Tuesday's show.

Blue White Illustrated sent Greg Pickel. Today, Pickel joins the show to discuss what he saw and heard from the quartet of Nittany Lions and the rest of the assembled representatives of other schools. He'll discuss what Oregon players think about their upcoming trip to Happy Valley for the 2025 White Out, what Drew Allar had to say in his podium appearance, how the team is the conference favorite this year, and other topics. Between the LinesNext, we'll discuss what Franklin had to say in detail in his media roundtable appearance. We'll discuss his comments about the team's special teams progress that he expects this year, how being an older team helps and his thoughts on having Media Days in Vegas instead of a centrally located place like it has been in the past. We'll get Pickel's thoughts about Franklin's tone and what might be behind the words that he spoke to reporters on Wednesday. Penn State training camp battles: The headlinersFinally, we'll conclude our look at Penn State camp battles, which start tomorrow when the team opens up camp on Wednesday.

Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqKCheck out the site too! - https://bit.ly/3u8dilDPenn State quarterback Drew Allar is one of the most polarizing players on the team's roster. The senior quarterback is a major driving force behind the program's preseason prediction by many outlets to win the Big Ten Championship. Despite that, parts of his own fan base view him as a limiting factor because of the way he played in big games last year. So, before Penn State has its turn on the stage at the Big Ten Media Days in Indianapolis and unofficially kicks off the start of the 2025 season, we're taking one last look back at its performance against Ohio State and Oregon in 2024. Join the BWI Live Show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube to get a rare sneak peek into our premium content as we discuss a series of articles on the site from this week outlining how Allar performed based on advanced data. If you can't catch the show live, be sure to catch the replay on the channel, in this article, or wherever you get your podcasts. Trying to strip away the emotion of a Penn State loss Fans can point to any number of critical plays or turning points in the games against Ohio State and Oregon as the "reason" that Penn State lost. We can also blame the defense, receivers, or other parts of the offense beyond the quarterback. It's an impossible task, but the plan for these articles was to remove those elements and focus solely on Allar's performance in those games. We also try to establish a baseline of comparison for Allar's performance. After all, the Buckeye and Duck defenses were two of the better units in the conference last year. We'll try to establish a baseline of their performance by context and comparison to the rest of the conference, and then compare Allar's performance to how that unit forced quarterbacks to play. Play under pressure and within a pressure environment Next, we'll look at how pressure affected Allar during these two games and the playoffs overall. Pressure means more than one thing. First, we'll look  at how Penn State's starting quarterback played with direct game pressure, as in when a defender was about to tackle him in the pocket. Next, we'll try to sniff out the pressure of the moment. Big games create a form of energy in their own right and can affect a player's normal performance. So, we'll look at Allar's play when in a clean pocket and compare that to season averages in both situations. Finally, we'll take that pressure data and compare Allar's playoff performance to his regular season performance. Big Ten Media Day SchedulePenn State head coach James Franklin will speak today in Las Vegas, and Blue White Illustrated will have you covered! Hear his comments on our YouTube Channel after he's done speaking with the media. We'll also have a recap from reporter Greg Pickel, who is out in Vegas covering the event.

There's no question who will start for the Nittany Lions, but who will back up Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen as the third running back? We'll look at the three or four primary candidates to fill in behind the superstar duo and discuss what each player can bring to the table. Next, we'll look at a surprising situation brewing on the right side of the offensive line. Will offensive line coach Phil Trautwein find a way to get both right tackles Nolan Rucci and Anthony Donkoh on the field? If he does, what does that mean for the rest of the line? We'll look at the men up front to give fans some insight into the battles on the right side. Summer conversation series Bauer continued detailing his conversations with Penn State's top brass this summer this week.

The team was a regular New Year's Six participant and routinely won ten games during the current stretch from 2016 to 2024. Yet Franklin's biggest critics point to his lack of production in big games and the team's lack of a title during his tenure at Penn State. So, is Franklin a top-five coach in college football? ESPN's Bill Connelly thinks so. We'll discuss his most recent article about the top historical and active coaches in college football on today's show. We'll also continue our discussion about Penn State's open lifting session with reporter Greg Pickel, and discuss the biggest What Ifs from last year.

Pickel discussed the biggest turning points and narratives from last year to reimagine what could have been for the team's title run. We'll discuss those on today's show. Finally, we'll preview the upcoming season by discussing how Penn State's offense should change this year, if at all. Offensive coordiantor Andy Kotelnicki's first year in Happy Valley was a huge success. The team was one of the most explosive offenses in college football last year, bringing a dangerous and balanced approach to the field. Still, fans will point to the team's struggles against top opponents and the inconsistencies in its passing game. How can the team tweak that this year? We examined the personnel-level information to determine where explosive plays were generated in the offense. #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_confirmationBookmark 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/PennStateOn3ESPN Puts James Franklin in Elite Company: Does He Belong?

Today on the BWI Live Recruiting Show, we'll preview the biggest names that will decide their college fate during the holiday weekend, plus recap June.

Today, we'll try to better understand the new gap between what Penn State previously achieved before NIL and now. The team didn't routinely land elite prospects at the most valuable positions, but there's also a clear erosion of their recruiting.

However, the Nittany Lions lost four top recruiting targets between Wednesday and Friday of last week. This recruiting news sparked a frenzy of panic among Penn State fans to the point that even reporter Nate Bauer wrote about it on Friday. So, today, we'll discuss the bigger implications of Penn State's loss of Khary Adams, Joey O'Brien, Greyson McKeogh, and Luke Wafle to its top rivals. We'll discuss the emotional impact, the logical next steps, and what the big picture means for the team's ability to compete at the highest levels of the sport, given the influence of NIL on recruiting. Join the show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube to discuss this, plus the latest roster update from the team and your questions! We'll be opening the live chat for discussion from fans throughout the show. Gang Green sets in for Penn State recruitingThree of the four players mentioned earlier all chose Notre Dame over Penn State. Meanwhile, Wafle chose USC over Ohio State in a bidding war that reportedly eclipsed 2 million dollars in NIL money. We'll address each individual recruiting situation and then consider them as part of a larger picture. Can Penn State's current model of retention withstand the new economy of recruiting? Will the program be cut off from top talent each cycle? Bauer and recruiting reporter Sean Fitz will dive deep into the topic to give Penn State fans a much-needed perspective on the topic. Penn State roster update and long-term weight changes In team-specific news, Penn State released its latest roster update, with Jabree Coleman joining the program this week. With it came updated weights for the program's athletes. We've tracked the progress of each player since January, and today, we'll reveal the biggest weight gainers and losers this offseason. What context should fans take from this? We'll discuss players who are transforming their bodies and which players may be falling behind for one reason or another. Nickel corner battle hinges on fall camp We also talked to Penn State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles this month. What did he say about his defense, and what he expects from the team this year? Bauer spoke to Knowles in an exclusive one-on-one interview recently, and he'll preview that conversation on today's show. In a separate conversation, Knowles discussed his nickel position in depth with BWI. We'll discuss the big takeaways from that conversation and what they mean for the team's defense this fall. Finally, despite the earlier recruiting focus on the show, there's more recruiting news to discuss this week. We'll wrap up the show with Fitz's recruiting update, discussing the news from this past weekend and the decisions looming on the horizon for the Penn State Class of 2026. #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_confirmationBookmark 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/PennStateOn3Penn State Recruiting Takes a Hit + Roster Update and Weight Changes Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

More to come? The bad news for the top of Penn State's 2026 prospects started Wednesday when four-star tackle Greyson McKeogh chose Notre Dame over Penn State and Texas. Shortly after, industry experts put in picks for top defensive back targets Khary Adams and Joey O'Brien to join him in South Bend. After that, reports from On3 surfaced that USC and Ohio State were in a bidding war for top defensive end Luke Wafle, who was about to command a seven-figure NIL package. Where does that leave Penn State? Snyder will do his best to give fans the intel on why things are trending away from the Nittany Lions with in-state and regional targets. We'll also discuss who is left on the board and what the program can do to make up ground. Penn State finishing June with three camps in five days Penn State hosted a smaller mid-week camp on Wednesday that BWI attended. Several top commits and prospects were also in attendance. We'll discuss what we saw from defensive line commit Isaac Chukwurah, and 2027 target Abraham Sessay. Defensive back commits Julian Peterson and Matt Sieg also attended camp, which was our first time to see them work up close. We'll discuss how they performed. Previewing Visits and Camps to close JuneFinally, we'll preview the end of the 2025 June calendar. A recruiting dead period starts next week, lasting until the start of the 2025 season. It's the final chance to get prospects on campus for official visits and to have top targets visit the program. We'll discuss the upcoming players making their way to campus for a final round of official visits, and then those players will be invited to the Lasch Bash and White Out Camp on Sunday. Join the show live at 10 a.m. on YouTube! #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_confirmationBookmark 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 Team USA roster for the Senior World Wrestling Championships will be announced this weekend in Newark, N.J. Penn State standouts and Nittany Lion Wrestling Club members are competing at Final X. Some are vying for a backup spot on the early portion of the day-long card. Others are seeking a starting spot on the national team for this year's championships, which are set for September in Croatia.We preview Saturday's action on a fresh episode of the Blue-White Illustrated Penn State wrestling show.Host Thomas Frank Carr and reporter Greg Pickel start by taking a look at the true third place matches. Those start at 12:30 p.m. ET. Multiple wrestlers, including incoming freshman Marcus Blaze and five-time NCAA champ Carter Starocci, are competing for a backup spot on Team USA. Blaze is in the 65 kilogram (143.3 pounds) true third place match opposite Nebraska's Brock Hardy. Starocci, then, has a familiar foe in Parker Keckeisen of Northern Iowa in the 86-kilogram (189.5 pounds) true third place match. A win would mean Blaze and Starocci have national team resources for the next year. And, for Blaze in particular, it would mean the U23 Team USA spot at 65 kilograms is his to turn down.

Phil Steele published his top 40 teams for the upcoming season, and Steele was very high on the Nittany Lions. Find out where he ranks the program and how many All-Americans he expects the team to produce this fall. To do that, the team will need to be elite on both sides of the football. We'll put those ideas to the test in our latest edition of Buy or Sell. Today, we'll focus primarily on the defensive side of the ball. Can Penn State allow fewer rushing yards than it did last season? Will they produce more takeaways? We'll debate those ideas on today's show. Reporter Greg Pickel will give his thoughts on Steele's analysis and then give you his thoughts on those ideas. You can play along in the chat by playing Buy or Sell with us! We'll read the best answers live on air. Between the LinesIt's now a summertime tradition for the Penn State coaching staff to sit down with the media at the start of June to discuss the offseason topics on the minds of fans and the media.

We'll discuss the situation to start the show. Next, we'll dig into the news that redshirt freshman Max Granville suffered a long-term injury after spring practice. Reporters Sean Fitz and Nate Bauer will discuss the impact on the defensive end position and where that leaves Penn State's pass-rushing unit. NCAA Settlement ushers in new era of college footballNext, the college sports world learned over the weekend that Judge Claudia Wilkins signed off on the House v. NCAA settlement agreement. The agreement sets into motion a new framework for college sports where the program can directly pay athletes. Does this mean the end of NIL? What does this mean for walk-on players? We'll discuss the most pressing questions for fans during the show. Fitz's recruiting update and Between the Lines Finally, we'll end the show by getting into some real football topics. Penn State hosted a massive contingent of offensive and defensive line prospects this weekend, including some of the top remaining players in the Class of 2026. How did the team do in convincing those players that Penn State is the place to be?

The team hosted its 2025 signing class on Friday and Saturday followed by its first camp of the summer to evaluate prospects for coming cycles. However, most of the focus this weekend was on one 2026 athlete trying to prove he belonged in the current class. Detroit offensive lineman Ben Eziuka camped with the program to prove that he'd improved from last offseason. How did that go? We tracked his progress and performance throughout the afternoon and Fitz will discuss what he thinks on today's recruiting update. We will also highlight the rest of the offensive line, thanks to our tracking of the group through the afternoon. Finally, we'll preview the upcoming official visit weekend, which is stocked with elite talent. Is this Penn State's most important recruiting weekend of the official visit calendar? Fitz will weigh in. Better or Worse and the BWI Mailbag Finally, we'll end the show by discussing the Penn State football team for 2025. Is the team better or worse in the defensive backfield?

Penn State added another wide receiver to the mix hours before the Blue-White Game when former Syracuse receiver Trebor Pena committed to the program. Was that enough to get the position out of the basement? We'll discuss the team's roster, counting from five to one on the show. We'll also track how certain positions developed this spring, vaulting one team to a new number one on the offense while two critical positions merged even closer in the rankings. Be sure to check out the show live at 10 a.m. or catch the replay on the site. You can also listen to the audio version anywhere you get your podcasts. #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_confirmationBookmark 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.

Today on the BWI Live Show, we'll discuss the impact of Davion Brown joining the program, plus we'll preview the upcoming season. We'll run through the roster and discuss if we think each position is better or worse than it was last season. Join the show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube so you don't miss any of the information or entertainment we've got for you today!

There's no one way to do it. Yet, there are some clues as to how other comparable programs have operated before they went on a championship run. Today, we'll see if Penn State stacks up to that with the recent speculation about the program. We'll review how many 2026 draft picks the team could put into the NFL in the top three rounds and how Penn State is building a strong consensus as the top team in college football. Fitz's Recruiting Update: A surprise commitment Penn State picked up a surprise commitment late Monday night when four-star wide receiver target Davion Brown committed to the program. Brown planned on visiting the team this coming weekend for an official visit, but pulled the trigger early and joined the team a few days ahead of his trip to HappY Valley. Why? Recruiting reporter Sean Fitz will discuss what he knows about the situation, and we'll give you an early impression of what Brown can provide Penn State in the Class of 2026. We'll also discuss how the team has another wide receiver target visiting this weekend and what fans should know about the offensive line class this cycle from reporter Ryan Snyder. Better or Worse? Finally, we'll end the show discussing the Penn State roster. The team was one drive away from the College Football National Championship game this January. With most of the team's talent returning, we'll ask a simple question. Is each position better or worse than it was in 2024? Today, we'll review the skill positions on offense to see where we think the program stands heading into the upcoming football season. #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_confirmationBookmark 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/PennStateOn3Better Or Worse?

The Big Ten has released pre-seeds for its 2025 wrestling championships. The two-day event is slated for this Saturday and Sunday, March 8-9, at Northwestern. Big Ten Network will televise the opening, semifinal, and final sessions. B1G+ will stream the rest of them. Blue-White Illustrated will have complete coverage throughout the weekend as Penn State seeks its thrid straight conference tournament title.Below, we have three things we learned from the pre-seeds, which are not finalized until after Friday's coaches meeting in Evanston but are unlikely to change. You can also watch the BWI Penn State wrestling show and find links to the podcast version.1. The seeds look mostly as expectedUnlike some years, there was little social media outrage about the pre-seeds this year. They look mostly as many anticipated them to. Penn State has five top seeds -- Beau Bartlett (141), Shayne Van Ness (149), Mitchell Mesenbrink (165), Levi Haines (174), and Carter Starocci (184) -- as expected. Gabe Arnold is in for Iowa instead of Angelo Ferrari at 184 and is the No. 4 seed, which means he could meet Starocci in the semifinals after plenty of trash talk was exchanged before the Hawkeyes-Lions dual meet but Iowa went with Ferrari over Arnold opposite Starocci.Looking back at our roundup of seed projections, there were questions about where sophomore 133-pound starter Braeden Davis would end up. He is at No. 4, which was one potential landing spot. And, while most figured Shayne Van Ness would have the top seed at 149, there was some question about it. But, he did indeed land it.

We'll preview our conversation with strength and conditioning coach Chuck Losey as well. Fitz and Bauer didn't get a chance to discuss the addition of Trace McSorley to the staff last week, so we'll discuss what they take from the news that McSorley is joining the program as an assistant QB coach. We'll also wrap up the 2025 NFL Combine and the results from Jaylen Reed's performance this past weekend. Fitz's Recruiting updateThe biggest piece of news from the program this week was that three-star Indiana wide receiver Jerquaden Guilford decommitted from the program over the weekend.

The bad news is that the secret is out on many of the team's top targets. Will the extra attention on Luke Wafle, Carter Meadows, and other regional prospects make it more difficult for Penn State to land those players? Fitz and Snyder will discuss that idea, plus give their thoughts on the rankings. Snyder also spoke with On3, Director of Scouting Charles Power, about the players in Penn State's orbit. Quarterback commit Troy Huhn took a massive tumble down the rankings, and Snyder discussed why that happened for the California passer. NFL Combine PreviewHowever, we'll start the show with the latest Penn State football news of the week. The defensive line and linebackers take to the field for the 2025 NFL Combine today in Indianapolis. Kobe King will be the lone representative for the Nittany Lions today after the announcement that Abdul Carter won't be working out this week. The news last night was that medical tests revealed an additional injury that Carter suffered.

Penn State has a strong run-on culture within the program that is under threat with the new rules proposed by the NCAA. Those rules stem from the House Settlement and the ramifications of revenue sharing coming to college sports. Fitz spoke with second-year players who aren't on scholarship earlier this month to get an idea of where their mindset is heading into an uncertain time in sports.

Plenty of fans hope that this group can achieve a top five or ten finish in recruiting rankings and push the team over the top in recruiting. While we've discussed that topic several times on the show, today we're discussing how this group fits into the bigger picture. What are the strengths of this cycle? Where does Penn State need to add players this cycle to fill in gaps or enhance strengths in the current roster? While the nature of college football has changed from a long-term view, there are still aspects of team building that play into recruiting. Next, we'll look at the committed class as it stands in the cycle. Penn State has nine commits who have verbally joined the program. We'll discuss where that stands in comparison to the rest of the country, previous recruiting classes at this time, and what factors may have led to nine players on board at this point. Finally, we'll recap the latest official visit announcements and introduce you to some new names that will check out Penn State this summer. #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_confirmationBookmark 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/PennStateOn3Penn State Class of 2026 Recruiting Reset | Official Visit Schedule Filling Up Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

As always, teams must evolve and change year to year based on the talent turnover from the previous season. While much of the core remains the same from 2024, there are places that Penn State can adapt and change the plan for the upcoming season.

Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqKCheck out the site too! - https://bit.ly/3u8dilDThe Penn State Football team became victim of the College Football Playoff coaching shuffle early on Sunday when running back's coach JaJuan Seider reportedly accepted an offer to coach at Notre Dame. The Lions had just poached their own coach from CFP Champion Ohio State two weeks earlier so the dynamic of late-offseason coaching changes isn't new to the program at this point. Now, the team will need to replace one of the longest-tenured assistants under head coach James Franklin. We'll discuss that, Penn State superstar Saquon Barkley winning a Super Bowl, and more on today's BWI Live Show. Join us at 10 a.m. on YouTube or catch the replay on the channel, site, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The former Penn State running back carried the ball 25 times for just 57 yards, but his team dominated the Kansas City Chiefs on the way to a 40-22 blowout victory that featured 16 Chiefs points in the fourth quarter once the game was put away. We'll discuss Barkley's historic season, plus talk about the game. Join us to get in on the conversation! Penn State needs to replace a top assistant Of course, the main focus of today's show is on the team's loss of Seider to recruiting rival Notre Dame.

What can the team do to replace him quickly, and does this represent an opportunity to change and refresh the room? We'll also discuss the recruiting aspect of that conversation in Fitz's recruiting update. From there, we'll discuss Sean Fitz's recruiting big board, which you can check out at Blue White Illustrated by signing up for a membership to the site. We'll also review the summer official visit schedule, which is filling up in early February. Penn State freshmen meet the mediaTomorrow marks the start of the 2025 season for Penn State football with the February media day.

While any team would trade the opportunity at a national championship for a weekend or two hosting prospects, it limits the time and players the team could meet. So, with all that considered, how did Penn State do in January? Recruiting experts Sean Fitz and Ryan Snyder discuss the team's progress in the past month and recap the major events that happened over the previous few weeks. NIL Conversation from Pete NakosOn3 national reporter Pete Nakos surveyed anonymous NIL executives and staffers from several of the major conferences to get a lay of the land for how much teams spent this past season on recruits and in the portal. He also got an idea of what the going rate for certain positions is and where those numbers are heading. Of course, we'll relate these topics and conversations to Penn State football and where it stands in the new NIL environment. Can the team keep up with the rising rates of players? Given the situation last year, how much more impressive is the team's run to a final four? We'll discuss those ideas and put the situation into context for fans. Top targets cutting list of schools, 2025 reviewFinally, we'll discuss the upcoming announcements from top targets this month. Players like Alex Haskell and Davion Brown are narrowing their list of potential schools. Did Penn State make the cut?

Penn State wrestling is off and running with the February portion of its schedule. The Nittany Lions have their first double dual weekend of the season on the horizon. Michigan battles head coach Cael Sanderson's team at the Bryce Jordan Center on Friday (6 p.m. ET, Big Ten Network) before Maryland invades Rec Hall at 1 p.m. ET on B1G+.“It’s unusual, as we talked about throughout the year, just the scheduling where we got Friday, Friday, Friday, and now we have a Friday, Sunday,” Sanderson said Monday. “But I think these weekends are really good training for the national tournament conference where you have a multiple-day tournament. So, we look at it all as training. And obviously, Michigan’s one of the top programs in the country. So we’re looking forward to that match, another match in the Jordan Center, and then being able to kind of turn around and wrestle Maryland, who’s wrestling really well. I mean, they’ve done a really good job there, and they’ve been very competitive.”We cover those matches and much more on this week's Blue-White Illustrated Penn State wrestling show. Host Thomas Frank Carr and reporter Greg Pickel start the conversation with the latest news from the recruiting world. The nation's top Class of 2026 recruit, Bo Bassett, picked Iowa over the Nittany Lions and others on Tuesday night. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Of course, Penn State fans are smart and want to know the immediate return on the highest-paid coordinator in college football history now. Given the need to play complimentary football on a team that doesn't return an explosive, superstar offense, can the defense get up to speed under Knowles and power a championship run? We're discussing that, plus the latest recruiting intel on today's BWI Live Show. Join us at 10 a.m. on YouTube as we discuss our expectations of the defense, plus answer your questions in the BWI Mailbag.

Sean Fitz and Nate Bauer will discuss the questions they're eager to hear answered in Knowles's first impression with the media. The main thrust of the conversation around the hire is that Penn State fans are worried that this change will set the defense back in a very important year for the program. The team retained most of its senior talent, who could have moved on to the NFL Draft this spring. Will they be up to speed in the defensive system to capitalize on this momentum toward a championship run? Fitz's recruiting update With January in the books, it was a truncated recruiting month for the football program, which took it's 2024 season deep into the playoffs. How did things turn out after two recruiting weekends?

Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqKCheck out the site too! - https://bit.ly/3u8dilDWhile nothing is ever settled in the shifting sands of college football, we can reasonably assume that the Penn State roster is mostly set for the spring semester and spring football season. On today's show, we'll review the final numbers on the transfer portal for the Nittany Lions. The team officially announced the additions earlier this month, and all but one of its existing players have chosen a new home. Join the BWI Live Show to discuss what the roster looks like on the other side of those moves. Reporter Greg Pickel joins the show to take you through the team's strongest and weakest positions as we reset the Penn State roster for 2025. We'll also dive deeper into the team's transition to defense under new coordinator Jim Knowles and what changes he could bring to the team for the coming season. Penn State roster reset Of course, the main story for all Penn State fans is about new defensive coordinator Jim Knowles. The program released a clip of Knowles addressing the team on social media yesterday, and Pickel will discuss the news surrounding it. From there, we'll transition to the other additions and subtractions from the roster this offseason. Former Penn State safety Tyrece Mills announced his new college destination this week. With that, only one former player in the portal has yet to find a home for the upcoming season.Next, we'll review the announcement from the program last week about the team's newest members. Penn State announced new weights for the incoming transfers, some of which raised eyebrows about the jumps in size from their previously listed size measurements. We'll discuss what that could mean for the team's needs this fall. Strengths and weaknessesWhile there's still time for players to arrive and leave in the spring portal window - and you can never count out a lawsuit against the NCAA - we're considering the roster set for the upcoming semester. Which positions look the strongest on paper? We'll review where the team can build its identity during spring football. Next, we'll look at the positions that need to be developed and take a step toward Penn State finding balance and a well-rounded attack next season. Jim Knowles's defensive breakdownFinally, we'll use the final show segment to discuss what we've learned at Blue White Illustrated about Knowles's defense and what changes he might bring to the program. After studying his defense at Ohio State, listening to virtual clinics, and reading into the data, we've got an early sketch of some differences in how the new head man on defense operates. #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_confirmationBookmark 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/PennStateOn3Penn State Roster Reset: Looking at Positional Strengths for 2025 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Head coach James Franklin sent shockwaves through the sport this week by hiring defensive coordinator Jim Knowles away from the Ohio State Buckeyes just days after Knowles won a championship with his former team.

One of the early storylines for Penn State football is that they're a top team contending for the National Championship and quarterback Drew Allar is again in the conversation for a Heisman. But how realistic is any of that? Today on the BWI Live Show, we discuss the factors that would lead Penn State to another deep playoff run and a chance at a Championship in 2025. Join the show at 10 a.m. to get your thoughts on those subjects, plus join the BWI Mailbag portion, back from its postseason hiatus. As always, the best way to know when we go live and post breaking news, or other great content is to subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel and enable notifications. Allar for Heisman? The early odds for the Heisman winner in 2025 are out, and Drew Allar has the fourth-best odds of any player in college football. Is that realistic? We discuss what it takes to win the award and how the Penn State offense can help or hold Allar back. The Nittany Lions need Allar to take the next step and become the best version of himself next year, but does that correlate to postseason awards? We'll discuss the tactical ways that can happen and what the most realistic outcome is as we sit in January. Next, we'll discuss the biggest questions for the Penn State offense and defense, which was part of Greg Pickel's "Four Thoughts" from yesterday. Does Penn State have enough NFL talent to win a championship?We'll continue our theme of Penn State's path to a National Championship by discussing a tweet from Senior Bowl director Jim Nagy. In a social media post on Tuesday, Nagy claimed that it takes NFL talent to win a championship in college football. He posted the last six winners of the CFP and the number of NFL Draft picks they had in that year's draft. Where does Penn State stand with potential draft talent for 2026? We'll look at that and examine this article from yesterday about how many players the Lions may realistically send to the NFL after next season. BWI MailbagFinally, we'll discuss your questions and thoughts in the BWI Mailbag!

We'll discuss the impact of losing Sal Wormley and retaining Nick Dawkins, as well as how Smith Vilbert continues a trend on the defensive line for the Penn State defense. Of course, the biggest news was the decision of middle linebacker Kobe King to leave for the NFL.

The team had 194 yards of offense in the first half and 141 of those came on the ground. The Lions put together two long scoring drives to control the flow. However, the star of the game in the trenches was injured star Abdul Carter. The pass rusher lined up opposite of his normal position to play with his good shoulder to the inside of the line. He tallied a sack and two TFLs in the first half. But it wasn't enough. The Penn State offense went silent in the third quarter, with just 25 total yards to Notre Dame's 128. Notre Dame took the lead in the early fourth quarter with a Jerimiyah Love scoring from inside the five yard line. Penn State bounced back with a scoring drive of its own, but the Irish continued to churn yards on the ground and mix in passes from quarterback Riley Leonard. Despite two interceptions, Leonard threw a touchdown over Cam Miller, who fell over in coverage, allowing a late fourth-quarter score and a field goal drive to lose the game after the Penn State offense went three and out with four minutes left. Postgame contentAfter the show, stay put for Penn State head coach James Franklin's postgame press conference. The Nittany Lions leader will address the media following the loss. We'll also have a report from field level from Nate Bauer, Sean Fitz and Greg Pickel, who are at the game.

Kaytron breaks tackles. He runs people over. He's a physical, physical back. Nick, obviously, if you give him a crease, he has got a chance to go 80 at any minute. So, they're really good complementary backs. They've been playing together for a long time. When we're able to get the outside zone going like we were able to do today, kind of opens everything else up and gets people running sideline to sideline, which creates creases," Franklin said. We'll discuss the outcome of Penn State's win, and what happened on offense to slow down the team's hot start. Defense dominates Next, we'll discuss the team's defensive performance which kept superstar running back Ashton Jeanty. We'll discuss the ways that Penn State went about putting an emphasis on stopping Jenaty and how effective it was. We'll also discuss what the team gave up to do so. Quarterback Maddux Madsen threw for over 300 yards in the game and kept the Boise State offense churning plays and drives. Mixed into all of that is the injury to Abdul Carter. How did that affect the game plan, and what will happen next for the Nittany Lions? We'll discuss the somewhat dire situation on the defensive line with the depth heading into a showdown against two teams with strong running games. Your thoughts about the gameJoin us live at 10 a.m. to get your questions and thoughts on the show.

The Lions did what most thought was impossible and kept Ashton Jeanty contained for the entirety of the Fiesta Bowl. The superstar tailback managed only 96 yards on 24 carries before Penn State put the game out of reach in the fourth quarter. The team did it without star linebacker Abdul Carter, who went down with a shoulder injury in the first quarter and did not return. Overall, the team racked up eight tackles for loss to keep Jeanty contained before he got going.Offensively, Penn State used another strong game from Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton to power the win.

The script flipped on Saturday in the win over SMU. The defense forced three first-half turnovers on interceptions of Kevin Jennings, two of which were returned for touchdowns. Linebackers Dom DeLuca and Tony Rojas fueled a 28-0 first-half surge from the Nittany Lions that put the game out of reach. The Penn State offense had another sluggish and uneven performance. However, they did enough to complement the defense in the win. The ground game got going with a 25-yard touchdown run by Kaytron Allen in the first half. Overall, it was still a quiet day for the running backs, who failed to crack 100 yards on the day. More postgame contentJoin us for more reaction from Beaver Stadium after the win.

Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqKCheck out the site too! - https://bit.ly/3u8dilDThe Penn State Nittany Lions Football team is dealing with multiple layers of college football simultaneously. Sunday evening, backup quarterback and offensive contributor Beau Pribula announced that he would transfer and leave the program. The next morning, starter Drew Allar announced his decision to return. All of this is playing out in the roster-building portion of the calendar while Penn State is still playing. Head coach James Franklin addressed all of these ideas during his Monday press confernece ahead of the team's playoff game against SMU. We'll discuss what Franklin said yesterday, give a preview of the transfer portal work the team is doing, plus preview the upcoming game against the Mustangs on the BWI Live Show today at 10 a.m. Join the show live or catch the replay embedded below, on the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel, or wherever you get your podcasts. Franklin calls for a massive change to college football. Yesterday, Franklin discussed the issues that led to Pribula's decision to transfer. The third-year passer wanted to stay with the program but couldn't manage the responsibilities on his plate. Franklin described it as a "no-win" situation and called for a change to the way the sport is run. "Beau should not be put in this position. Whether we don't play as many games during the season, whether we don't play conference championship games -- which could equal things out for teams not playing them anyway, finish this season so it aligns more with the academic calendar for most institutions because that's part of this pressure as well," Franklin said. To have a transfer portal/free agency going on right in the middle of the playoffs, there's just a lot of things that don't really make sense.I know there's been a lot of discussions about maybe a commissioner of college football, but I think it's pretty obvious we need that. We need somebody running college football."Transfer portal activity Penn State has hosted several transfer portal targets for the upcoming season. The team gained its first commitment on Monday evening when USC wide receiver Kyron Hudson joined the program for the 2025 season. We'll discuss Hudson's impact on the roster and his ability to make a dent in the team's receiver room next year. We'll also discuss the latest in Penn State recruiting during Fitz's recruiting update and give a preview of the game against SMU to close the show. Join us live at 10 a.m. to discuss all of that and more on the BWI Live 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/PennStateOn3Penn State Head Coach James Franklin Calls Out College Football for Broken Process Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Fitz will discuss the impact of the delay and its effect on Penn State's chances to land the Elite 11 finalist. Penn State vs Oregon RecapWhile it's nearly old news with all of the events that have happened since Saturday night, it's still important to look back at Penn State's performance in the Big Ten Championship game against Oregon. We'll discuss what we can and can't take away from the game when discussing how the offense and defense performed against the number one team in the country. Finally, we'll discuss the other news coming out of this past weekend including the transfer portal opening on Monday and fans finding out the fate of several key players for the postseason.

Check out athletictravel.com to book your reservation for the potential trip!On Sunday afternoon, the Penn State Nittany Lions football team discovered its destiny in the College Football Playoff. The committee rewarded the team's Big Ten schedule and its close losses to Ohio State and Oregon with the sixth seed in the playoff bracket. Penn State fell only one spot after losing in the Big Ten Championship game to fourth in the overall playoff rankings. With the conference champions getting byes into the first round, Penn State was the second non-conference champion in the playoff, behind Texas in the fifth spot. Join the Penn State Football Playoff Seeding Reaction Show as we discuss the team's first-round matchup against the 11th-seeded SM Mustangs, who beat out Alabama for the final spot in the playoff bracket. Blue White Illustrated experts Sean Fitz and Nate Bauer join the show live from Indianapolis to discuss how the playoff committee handled the playoff bracket, their thoughts about Penn State's matchup with SMU, and the team's overall chances of making a run at a national championship. Check out the show on our YouTube Channel, embedded on the site, or wherever you get your podcasts. Did Penn State get the best possible path?As Bauer pointed out during the run-up to conference championship weekend, the biggest debate around college football would be about penalizing participation in those games. Penn State was not penalized for losing to the top-ranked team. ESPN's Reece Davis asked Playoff Committee Chairman Ward Manuel about just how fair it was for Oregon and Penn State to get drastically different paths foward. "It turns out, the way things have fallen, it might be the six seed instead that is deemed more advantageous. Oregon, the only undefeated team in the country. You guys have deemed them the best team in this playoff. They are the Big Ten champions, and they just beat Penn State. And then when you look at their quarter-final game against either Ohio State or Tennessee, it might be that the ducks have a more disadvantageous road than the six-seed Penn State does in taking on an SMU team that barely made it in, and Boise State, who is not quite as highly ranked."Manuel deferred answering the question, saying that it was his committee's job to rank the top 25 teams in the country. From there, the rules of automatic byes in the playoffs changed the picture for teams in the field. But it stands to reason that Penn State's path is favorable. We discuss those notions on the show as well. What we know about SMU From there, we discuss what we know about the first-round matchup with SMU, which will be held at Beaver Stadium on Dec. 21st. We give you a quick preview of the players you need to know and how the team has played so far this season. #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.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We'll provide extensive postseason coverage of the Nittany Lions this winter. Penn State doesn't get it done vs. Top Five Team Penn State's defense could not have gotten off to a worse start against Oregon. The Nittany Lions' normally stout front was gashed on the first two drives as Oregon rushed out to an explosive lead. Oregon's speed was too much for the team as they got their explosive athletes into space and raced out to 31 points in the first half, including an 11-point lead early in the second quarter. But from there, the Penn State offense came roaring back. Unlike previous big games, the offense was the side of the football that held the line for the Nittany Lions, going toe-to-toe with the Ducks and scoring 24 points before halftime. However, Oregon's explosiveness was too much for the Penn State defense. The Ducks passing attack went off with electric slot receiver Tez Johnson going for 181 yards in the game. Allar threw an interception with under two minutes left in the game to seal the game for the Ducks.What's next for the Nittany Lions? Penn State will await its fate on Sunday afternoon to find out its seeding in the first round of the inaugural 12-team playoff. Before then, hear what head coach James Franklin had to say about the game during his postgame press conference. Check that out by following the show on the BWI YouTube Channel.

Running back Nick Singleton fumbled the opening snap on offense, which set up a 25-yard touchdown pass to Kaden Prather for the Maryland offense. It took a few more drives to get the offensive rhythm together, but Penn State eventually put up 31 points on Maryland in the first half, fueled by 28 in the second quarter. Part of Penn State's success came down to terrible mistakes from the Terps and great field position, thanks to defensive turnovers. The defense, led by Abdul Carter, secured three sacks and two turnovers, leading to the turnaround. The team failed to secure more distance through the third quarter, but the defense held Maryland down with just 27 yards of total offense. The Penn State offense scored in the early fourth quarter to end its day before the backups came in for good. Next up for the Nittany Lions Penn State will now await the fate of the College Football Playoff selection committee next Sunday, Dec. 8. The selection show starts at noon and will reveal the 12-team playoff bracket and matchups for the first round.

While some argued that Notre Dame should leapfrog the Nittany Lions after an impressive victory over Army, the committee disagreed. We'll discuss what that means for the team heading into the last week of the regular season, where there are still faint hopes for the Big Ten title game up for grabs if things play out a certain way.

The team had a blocked punt and extra point in the closing minutes of the first half, leading to nine points in the final two minutes. The offense struggled to run the ball, gaining just 19 positive yards in the first half on the ground. In turn, quarterback Drew Allar did most of the heavy lifting, passing for 159 yards in the first half and running it in from four yards out of a score that put Penn State within one before reserve defensive tackle Kale Artis allowed the extra point to be blocked and returned for a touchdown. The defense put together more of its third-quarter magic. After an opening drive for a field goal, the Lions forced back-to-back three-and-outs, allowing the offense the breathing room for a touchdown drive to go ahead with the lead in the fourth quarter. After a close call on the second drive of the fourth quarter, the Penn State defense held at the goal line to force a field goal that cut the lead from four to one. Penn State's offense iced the game after that with a scoring drive. More great postgame contentWant more postgame conversation from Blue White Illustrated?

Penn State quarterback Drew Allar went 10-10 for 116 yards and a touchdown to start things off while the team averaged 6.4 yards per carry in the first half. However, two stalled three-and-out drives stymied the scoring fest heading into halftime. But unlike last week against Washington, Penn State's offense didn't blink after halftime. The offense scored three times in the third quarter including two explosive runs from Tyler Warren and Beau Pribula and a 46-yard touchdown pass from Allar to Trey Wallace to end the day for the starting offense.  Warren was once again the star of the game for the Nittany Lions. The Penn State tight end caught all eight of his targets for 127 yards and a touchdown. He also added in 63 yards and a score on the ground, bringing his game total to 190 yards and two touchdowns. Abdul Carter does it againIt wasn't a perfect night from the Penn State defense, but it was close. The backup linebackers and secondary entered the game with a 21-3 lead but gave up a field goal scoring drive in the second quarter. Beyond that, it was a long day, once again, for this 1-9 Purdue team. Abdul Carter was once again the star on defense, racking up five tackles, two tackles for loss, and multiple quick pressures that ended plays for Purdue. More game day content Be sure to stick around after the postgame show to hear from head coach James Franklin. We'll have the Nittany Lion leader's postgame press conference after he's done speaking with the media following the win.

Penn State rose to the number four slot after several ranked teams lost last weekend in conference play. What does that mean for the team's chances in the playoffs? Reporter Greg Pickel will give the lay of the land in the second week of the rankings and we'll discuss the future opportunities for the Nittany Lions. Next, we'll take our eyes off the horizon and focus on today.

We'll preview tonight's action. Penn State snap countsOne of the notable trends this year is that for a team ranked in the top five of the college football world, Penn State does not have many blowout wins. Yes, they've won several games by multiple scores, but the team has yet to put away lesser talent early. While we won't get into all of the reasons why, we will discuss the impact of those longer games on the defensive roster. Who has played too many snaps this year and thus, needs a break?

Can the team fix its weaknesses in the final months? Join the BWI Live Show to discuss that, recruiting, and much more! Penn State Football experts Sean Fitz and Nate Bauer sit down for an hour to discuss the latest in football, recruiting, and your questions. We'll be opening up the BWI Mailbag to end the show, so get your questions into the live chat during the show!Penn State vs. Washington review We'll start the show by recapping the game between Penn State and Washington on Saturday and discuss how the team got out to such a hot start on offense and what they did to consistently score touchdowns. Was that the most complete half of football that the team has played? We'll discuss. Fitz's Recruiting UpdateNext, we'll discuss what happened off the field for the Penn State Football team. The program picked up two commitments on Saturday and Sunday. First, four-star offensive lineman Layton von Brandt committed to the Nittany Lions. Fitz will discuss the impact of an offensive line commit two years out from his signing day. Four-star defensive end Chaz Coleman followed on Sunday night. Check out our breakdown of that commitment from Monday. Fitz will follow up with his thoughts on Coleman's impact. Finally, we'll review the team's other White Out recruiting news to end the segment. Between The LinesPenn State head coach James Franklin spoke with the media on Monday to kick off the team's final road game stretch, starting with Purdue this coming weekend. As is the case when facing a 1-8 team, very few of the questions and answers were about the Boilermakers. Today, we'll focus on the things Franklin said about redshirts, facilities and Hakeem BeamonOn how the team handles redshirts in the final three games:"The way we look at the green/yellow/red. Green, you're trying to burn. Yellow, you're trying to hold the redshirt if you can. And red is a guy that's most likely going to redshirt. And all those things can changed based on injury.What I'm saying is we manage this that we now should be at this stage, a lot of these guys be able to play and still be able to keep their redshirt."Penn State Facilities Well, what I will say is, number one, I'm appreciative of all the work that's gone in over our 11 years. One of the things I'd like to show you guys at some point is we've taken before-and-after pictures of everything, and I think back all the way to standing on that turf practice field and my back was up against the fence and you guys were asking me questions -- a lot of the same people in the room were asking me questions about facilities. And that was a battle when I first got here.Beamon"He's no longer a part of the program. I love Hakeem. Love his mom. It's been probably over seven years from the high school recruiting process and ups and downs and twists and turns and smiles and tears and everything in between. Graduating from Penn State, we're very, very proud of that for him and did a bunch of good things on the field. But he's no longer a part of the team."BWI MailbagFinally, we'll end the show with questions from viewers and members of the Blue White Illustrated message board.

Quarterback Drew Allar was 14-18 for 140 yards, including 56 yards to wide receiver Trey Wallance. Tight end Tyler Warren wasn't invisible at the goal line this time; the 260-pound tight end went vertical from the three-yard line to score a touchdown and added another second in the first half. The scoring slowed down in the second half, with a fumble from Warren on a promising drive to start the third quarter. That led to a field goal from Washington, who benched starter Will Rogers at halftime in favor of the more mobile backup Demond Williams Jr. While Williams Jr. did give the Huskies more breathing room in the run game, he was sacked multiple times in the second half, leading to only six points before Penn State ended the game with a scoring drive in the fourth quarter.  Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter was the player of the night on defense, finally getting his breakout game. He had four tackles for loss and two sacks, plus a forced fumble. Next up for Penn State and postgame coveragePenn State is now 8-1 on the season after the win, with a road trip to West Lafayette to face Purdue next weekend. Ohio State blew out the Boilermakers on Saturday afternoon, with Purdue falling 45-0 to fall to 1-8 on the season.
