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?

Penn State football emphatically opened the Matt Campbell era with a dominant win over Marshall. We break down sophomore Kobe Howard's breakout performance — 161 yards and a touchdown on six catches — and how Penn State got him so open in the passing attack. We also cover why that success came at the expense of the ground game, with Carson Hansen held to 4.1 yards per carry at halftime. On defense, D'Anton Lynn put on a clinic, generating eight tackles for loss and seven QB hits while containing Carlos Del Rio-Wilson as a runner. We highlight the players who made plays, discuss what happened to Zion Tracy and Marcus Neal, hand out our defensive player of the game, and look ahead to Temple. 0:00 – Instant Reaction: Penn State Shuts Out Marshall 45-0 5:07 – D'Anton Lynn's Option Defense & Kobe Howard's Breakout Game 17:07 – Chat Reaction: James Franklin Comparisons & Lynn's Multiple Fronts 22:47 – Offensive Line Evaluation: Donkoh, Cousins & Burh 30:37 – Defensive Player of the Game: Caleb Bacon's Dominant Day 45:03 – Running Back Evaluation: James Peoples, Hansen & Quinton Martin 49:35 – Safety Rotation Breakdown: Marcus Neal, Zion Tracy & Jeremiah Cooper 54:21 – Cam Wallace's Comeback & Comparing Lynn to Manny Diaz 59:12 – Closing Thoughts & Looking Ahead to Temple 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?

Penn State head coach Matt Campbell spoke to the media on Tuesday morning, minutes after his team finished up practice for the day. The team is one day away from concluding four weeks of training camp, and Campbell spent his 12 minutes with the media discussing what he’s learned about his team — and, importantly, what he doesn’t know about his team — heading into the season opener against Marshall on Sept. 5. On Today’s BWI Live show, we’ll do the same thing. We’ll recap Campbell’s press conference and the notable quotes he gave. Then, we’ll tell Penn State fans what big-picture things we’ve learned about the team through camp.  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 Lusk and associates: https://www.luskandassociates.com/area-info/state-college/ Use our code for 10% off your next SeatGeek order*: https://seatgeek.onelink.me/RrnK/BWI Sponsored by SeatGeek. *Restrictions apply.

Penn State wrestling Class of 2026 signee Jayden James will compete at the U20 Worlds Championships this weekend in Slovakia. The Delbarton, N.J., standout is the Team USA rep at 74 kilograms (163.1 pounds). He seeks his second age-group World title after winning gold at U17s last summer in Greece. James will take the mat sometime after 4 a.m. ET on Saturday. His first opponent will be Samuel Vokal of Slovakia. The future Penn State wrestler will be heavily favored to win that match. Assuming he does, James would face former Delbarton teammate Alessio Perentin in the Round of 16. The Cornell Class of 2026 signee is Italy's U20 rep after winning its national tournament earlier this year. Whoever wins that match would then face a to-be-determined opponent in the quarterfinals.

Over the first two weeks of Penn State football’s fall camp, we got to see the team practice four times. It was an incredible amount of access compared to years past and gave us a strong insight into the team’s progress through the first half of camp. Now that it’s over, we have a good picture and enough information to start judging how camp has gone. Today, we’re ranking the players with the most stock up and the most stock down. We’ll discuss what we know and how it affects the team. We’ll also discuss what we don’t know about the team in the second half of today’s show. What’s still left to learn? We’ll give you the insights still left on the table to end today’s show.    0:00 – Intro & Alex Manske's Emotional Return From Open-Heart Surgery 15:41 – Stock Up: Manske, Rocco Beck, Trevor Burr & James Peoples 33:12 – Stock Down: Dom Rowley, Peyton Falzone & Cornerback Depth Concerns 48:42 – What We Still Want to Learn: Caleb Bacon's Role & Defensive Scheme Questions 58:48 – Mailbag: The Five-Year Rule, Zion Tracy's Position & Final Thoughts Penn State QB Alex Manske's details his journey back to the field from open-heart surgery: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/news/penn-state-qb-alex-manskes-details-his-journey-back-to-the-field-from-open-heart-surgery/ Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/rooo3u31 #CashAppPod.  Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Three days into Penn State's fall training camp, we're breaking down the three biggest things we've learned so far. No. 3: Caleb Bacon has spent the first week of camp working at defensive end instead of linebacker. Matt Campbell explains the multiplicity behind the move. No. 2: Tony Rojas and Andrew Rapp are both back from injury and making their presence felt immediately — Rojas has been clogging up the middle of the field in coverage, and Rapp looks like the most physical version of himself in years. No. 1: the receiver room remains talented but unproven, and we break down exactly where that group stands heading into Monday's first padded practice. 0:00 – Intro & Caleb Bacon's Surprise Move to Defensive End (No. 3) 5:50 – Tony Rojas & Andrew Rapp's Returns Make an Impact (No. 2) 13:59 – The Penn State Receiver Room's Prove-It Mode (No. 1) 19:12 – Looking Ahead: Pads Go On Monday 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?

Penn State wrestling had an outstanding weekend at Final X in Newark — sending five wrestlers to the 2026 Senior World Wrestling Championships in Kazakhstan this October. Greg Pickel joins Thomas Frank Carr to break down every result, starting with Marcus Blaze's clutch win at 61kg over Jax Forrest of Oklahoma State, earned on a late takedown at the edge of the mat in round three. They also cover Luke Littledahl's competitive series loss to Spencer Lee — and why the result says more about Spencer Lee's level than any deficiency in Littledahl heading into his junior season. Then a full breakdown of Penn State's complete world team haul and what to watch for when competition begins in October. The show closes on a significant rule change: the five-for-five eligibility rule now appears to eliminate redshirts, Olympic redshirts, and medical waivers — and what that means for how Penn State constructs its lineup going forward is a conversation the program has been having for longer than most fans realize.

The Penn State football recruiting class of 2027 was hit with another decommitment on Monday, and this is the biggest blow yet.

Penn State football fills one of its biggest needs in the 2027 class as defensive end Elijah Guertin of Bishop Hendricken High School in Warwick, Rhode Island commits to the Nittany Lions. At 6'5" and 250 pounds, Guertin fits exactly the mold Danton Lynn has been building toward — a big, versatile defensive end who can play every down and develop into a franchise-level pass rusher. Sean Fitz breaks down how the recruitment unfolded, why Penn State beat out Florida and Tennessee, and why Guertin's ranking undersells what he actually is. Then Thomas Frank Carr takes you to the film room for a full breakdown of what makes Guertin special — and why his physical potential puts him in the same conversation as players like Abraham Cissé and Luke Waffle at the college level. 00:00:10 - Elijah Guertin Commits to Penn State: The Announcement 00:01:38 - Why Rhode Island Prospects Go Under the Radar 00:04:05 - How Penn State Beat Florida & Tennessee for Guertin 00:07:18 - Film Room: What Makes Guertin a Potential Franchise DE 00:11:17 - Where Guertin Fits Penn State's Defensive End Blueprint 00:15:15 - What's Next for Penn State's 2027 Class 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/join/ 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?

Penn State football adds another piece to its 2027 class as safety Caleb Cooper of Providence Day High School in Charlotte, North Carolina commits to the Nittany Lions! Cooper is a 5'11" 205-pound safety with a 4.45 forty and a 10-foot broad jump — and his junior season numbers tell the story: 97 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, 6 pass deflections, and an interception. Ryan Snyder breaks down the recruitment story — including how Deon Broomfield got Cooper on campus within 24 hours of reaching out — and what it was about Penn State that sealed the deal.

One of the longest-running college football podcasters in the country joins BWI for a full Penn State 2026 preview. Ty Hildenbrandt of the Solid Verbal — a Penn State graduate who has been doing the show since 2008 — sits down with Thomas Frank Carr to break down everything you need to know about the Nittany Lions heading into Matt Campbell's first season. Ty makes the case that Penn State is genuinely dangerous this year — a veteran roster, a favorable schedule, and a quarterback in Rocco Becht who may be the most experienced signal-caller in all of FBS. He projects Penn State going 5-0 before their first true test against USC at home, then a road trip to Michigan the following week. From there, the conversation covers the receiver room, Ben Bramer and the tight end engine, how to evaluate Michigan under Kyle Whittingham, USC's defense problem under Lincoln Riley, and where Penn State fits in the national playoff picture. 00:00:00 - Cold Open: Ty's Penn State Playoff Prediction 00:01:35 - Introducing Ty Hildebrandt of the Solid Verbal 00:02:20 - Ty's Penn State Journey: From Notre Dame Fan to Nittany Lion 00:03:37 - Was It Time for James Franklin to Go? 00:04:16 - How Campbell Fell Into Penn State's Lap 00:04:50 - Big 12 Offense at Penn State: Will the Translation Work? 00:05:57 - Rocco Becht: The Most Experienced QB in All of FBS? 00:06:50 - Building the Scheme Around the Player, Not Vice Versa 00:07:36 - Campbell Gets More With Less: His Biggest Coaching Strength 00:08:07 - Iowa State's Offense Left You Wanting — Will That Change? 00:08:54 - The Blended Family Roster: How It All Comes Together 00:09:43 - Campbell as a QB Developer: The Purdy & Rocco Template 00:10:21 - Rocco vs. Drew Allar: Two Very Different Situations 00:11:54 - Why Rocco Is the Leader: He Knows the System Cold 00:12:56 - James Franklin Just Wasn't Good at Developing QBs 00:13:51 - Sponsor: Way Fruit Farm 00:14:27 - D'Anton Lynn on Defense: Ty's Early Assessment 00:15:23 - Penn State's Defense: Better the Further Back You Go 00:16:47 - The New Defensive Line Template: Size Over Speed Rushers 00:19:00 - Schedule Breakdown: The Three Games That Matter 00:19:31 - Ty's Full Penn State 2026 Projection 00:22:23 - Carson Hansen as a Bowling Ball: What the Offense Will Look Like 00:23:31 - The Receiver Room & Why the Tight End Is the Engine 00:25:05 - Ben Brahmer & the Tight End Room: The Offense Runs Here 00:26:21 - Michigan Under Whittingham: How Beatable Are They? 00:27:14 - Bryce Underwood's Spring Game & What It Signals 00:30:03 - USC Preview: Lincoln Riley's Defense Problem & Gary Patterson 00:32:42 - 10-2 Might Not Make the Playoff: The Crowded Big Ten Problem 00:33:28 - National Playoff Picture: Ohio State, Oregon, Notre Dame & the Big 12 00:36:23 - How Ty Builds His Team Previews in the Portal Era 00:38:54 - Where Penn State Ranks in the Big Ten Tier System 00:39:16 - Washington as a Dark Horse: Most Underrated Big Ten Team? 00:40:12 - Brendan Sorsbu Ruling: A Really Bad Precedent for College Football 00:42:07 - Gambling in College Football: The Pervasive Culture Problem 00:44:25 - Where to Find the Solid Verbal Podcast 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/join/ 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?

The Penn State football team is now in its summer work phase, following its return from break in late May. While important things are happening on campus with both the team and recruiting, we’re taking today to look at the bigger picture. Last week, the United States Senate held a hearing on the future of college football as part of its proposed legislation to govern the sport. Reporter Nate Bauer watched that hearing and has been writing about it over the last several days. Today, we’ll discuss the situation facing the sport and what needs to be done in order to save it. We’ll also discuss the current Penn State Nittany Lions’ chances of putting together a strong season by looking at their veteran depth.  We’ll also take your questions throughout the show in the BWI Mailbag! Join us live during the hour-long converation to ask your questions. If you want to know anything about the latest recruiting news, you can ask us in the live chat.  Experience article:  https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/news/despite-massive-roster-overhaul-penn-state-ranks-among-nations-most-experienced-teams/ 00:00:11 - Intro: This Week's Schedule & What to Expect 00:00:38 - Why We're Talking About College Football's Future Today 00:03:24 - Penn State's Veteran Roster: How Experience Was Built Intentionally 00:04:53 - CBS Sports Rankings: Penn State 17th in Roster Experience Nationally 00:05:54 - Ty Hildebrandt Preview: Penn State's Schedule & Playoff Outlook 00:10:00 - What Experience Buys a First-Year Coach Like Matt Campbell 00:12:48 - The Offensive Line Question: Talent vs. Readiness 00:20:00 - Transitioning to the Big Picture: College Football's Revenue Crisis 00:28:48 - The Senate Hearing: It's a Revenue Problem, Not Just a Rules Problem 00:29:53 - The $20.5 Million Cap Nobody Is Following 00:33:32 - TFC's Take: We're Competing at money, Not Football 00:36:34 - The Salary Cap Argument: Why Rules Make Sports Interesting 00:40:53 - How Is Penn State Set Up for This New Era? 00:41:45 - Penn State's Infrastructure Advantage: How It Was Built 00:43:15 - CFP Expansion to 24 Teams: Revenue Solution or Golden Goose Killer? 00:54:47 - BWI Mailbag: USC, Michigan or Washington — Which Win Matters Most? 00:58:18 - Mailbag: Which Position Group Are You Most Concerned About? 01:00:17 - Mailbag: The Brennan Sourcey Situation & Big Ten vs. Texas Tech 01:01:28 - Should There Be Consequences for Rule Breakers in College Football? 01:05:43 - Final Agreement: Rules Only Work If There Are Consequences  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/join/ 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?

National college football insider Pete Nakos of On3 joins Thomas Frank Carr for his second appearance on the BWI YouTube channel — and he comes with news Penn State fans need to hear. Chaz Coleman's future at Tennessee is seriously in doubt, and Pete breaks down exactly where things stand, what Tennessee has done to try to support him, and whether there is any realistic path for Coleman to get back on a college football field in 2026. Then Pete and TFC go deep on the Penn State roster — from Rocco Becht's spring role despite his shoulder injury, to why Rocco chose Penn State over significant Big Ten and SEC interest, to the national media's growing belief that this Penn State team has real playoff potential in Year One under Matt Campbell. They also break down Penn State's two biggest regular season tests — USC and Michigan — with Pete giving his national perspective on Lincoln Riley's must-win year with the Trojans and what Kyle Whittingham brings to Ann Arbor.

Penn State football enters the summer with a reasonably strong indication of where the roster stands after a good month and a half of practice during the spring. Now, the staff will sit down and review what they learned about the team over that timeframe to build the offense around its best players. We also learned this spring that the staff routinely ranks the best players on the offensive side of the ball to remind the group of who they should be building around.  Today, we’ll do the same thing. We’re ranking the five best Penn State offensive players, regardless of position. We’ll also discuss some of the contentious positions on the roster where there’s a disconnect between the internal and external perception of reality. Finally, we’ll take your questions on the BWI Mailbag! 00:00:00 - Intro 00:00:51 - Why Penn State's Staff Actually Ranks Their Own Players 00:03:38 - Top 5 Penn State Offensive Players: The List Begins 00:05:57 - #5: Malachi Goodman — Bold Pick or Too Early? 00:07:25 - The Brock Riker Debate: Should He Be on the List? 00:09:09 - Does "Most Talented" Actually Mean "Best"? 00:12:17 - Why Two Offensive Linemen Are in the Top Five 00:15:20 - Does Matt Campbell's Staff Grade on a Curve? 00:19:05 - Sponsor: Antifragile Brewing Company 00:22:17 - #4: Chase Sowell — Ceiling Pick or Consistency Question? 00:30:00 - #3: Rocco Becht — The Accuracy Debate 00:38:07 - #1 & #2: Anthony Donkoh & Ben Bramher Revealed 00:42:41 - The Tight End Room: Bramher vs. Burkle vs. Rappleyea 00:54:34 - Who Gets the Ball in a Must-Have-It Situation? 00:58:39 - Mailbag: Could Penn State Have Kept Its Top Targets? 01:01:55 - NIL Reality Check: Penn State's Budget vs. The Big Spenders 01:05:13 - Pat Kraft's "Elite Resources" Promise vs. Reality 01:08:11 - Final Thoughts & Tomorrow's Show 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/join/ 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?
