Becht Shines, Bacon Shocks in 45-0 Win | Penn State Nittany Lions Football News

Penn State dominated Marshall 45-0 in a statement-opening win, with Rocco Becht throwing for 271 yards and four touchdowns while Koby Howard finally shined with 161 yards and a score. Defensive end Caleb Bacon, a walk-on turned key contributor, delivered six tackles, three for loss, and a sack. Over 70 players saw action, including plenty of freshmen — building depth for the season ahead. But flaws linger: four defensive penalties extended drives, and the run game struggled — though the passing attack made up for it. This was a comfortable win, but real tests await when conference play heats up. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
