Sunday Recap: Koby Howard's Breakout, a Stingy Defense & What's Next
from BWI Live: A Penn State football podcast from Blue White Illustrated · host Blue White Illustrated
Penn State opened the Matt Campbell era with a clean, dominant 45-0 win over Marshall, and we're breaking down what stood out. Koby Howard had a breakout performance — 161 yards and five explosive plays — and we discuss his growth in consistency and ball security. We also dig into the run game's room for improvement with Carson Hansen and James Peoples, and a front seven that flashed real promise led by Max Granville and Caleb Bacon, even without piling up sacks. Finally, we discuss why building depth and confidence now matters as Penn State heads to Temple in week two. 0:00 – Intro & Overall Reaction to a "Clean" 45-0 Win9:31 – Koby Howard's Breakout Game & Ball Security Growth17:30 – Run Game Review & Defense Breakdown: Front Seven Standouts27:34 – Building Depth Heading Into Week Two & a Temple Preview Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqK Check out the site too! - https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/?utm_source=publisher&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=subscriber_referral&ref=418462 Get 20% off and free shipping at Fanatics with our affiliate link: https://fanatics.93n6tx.net/OeZg2z Use Code BWI20 to get 20 percent off Rhoback’s Gameday Collection: https://rhoback.com/collections/pennsylvania-state-university-licensed-collection Want breaking news like this delivered straight to your inbox for FREE?
