Penn State Surges with Two Wins | Penn State Nittany Lions Football News

Penn State’s football team is on fire, starting 2026 with two straight wins—including a 27-9 demolition of Temple—and now sits at No. 14 in the rankings. Under first-year coach Matt Campbell, who’s brought his winning pedigree from Toledo and Iowa State, the Nittany Lions are transforming with new transfers already making waves. Quarterback Rocco Becht dazzled last week with over 260 yards and three TDs, while Carson Hansen anchors a potent run game. Defense has been equally dominant, forcing turnovers and pressuring QBs—turning around last year’s seven-win slump. With momentum building, they face Buffalo next and could be playoff contenders by season’s end. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
