Penn State RB Shifts & Defense Adjustments | Penn State Nittany Lions Football News

Penn State’s offense is leaning hard on Carson Hansen, who now carries the ball over 70% of the time — a stark shift from their first game and mirroring his Iowa State role. Quinton Martin Jr. remains sidelined on offense despite expectations. Defensively, the team grapples with Max Granville’s season-ending injury, tightening the edge rush rotation while Tony Rojas continues to dominate. Safeties struggle with run stops, but cornerbacks — especially Zion Tracy — are impressing. Next up: Buffalo, where these strategic tweaks will be put to the test.
