Penn State Shuts Out Marshall in Dominant Debut | Penn State Nittany Lions Football News

Penn State delivered a statement-opening shutout, dismantling Marshall with explosive offense and suffocating defense—marking the program’s first season-opening shutout in years and head coach’s debut win. Rocco Becht threw multiple touchdowns, extending his career records, while Koby Howard made his mark with a breakout performance and first TD catch. The defense held Marshall to zero points, forced turnovers, and debuted several key players—including freshman Josiah Zayas, the first true freshman to start on defense in nearly a decade. With a perfect record against Sun Belt foes and a streak of no special teams touchdowns, Penn State’s early dominance sets the tone for a historic season ahead.
