On today’s BWI Live Show, we break down what starting quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer said during bowl media availability, including his approach to the game, his relationship with the new coaching staff, and how the quarterback room is adjusting during a period of change.Paragraph 2We also dive into the latest Penn State coaching hires, with receivers coach Noah Pauley and quarterbacks coach Jake Waters officially joining the staff. With roster turnover, potential opt-outs, and young players expected to see expanded roles, the Pinstripe Bowl serves as an important evaluation opportunity. We’ll preview the players we’re most interested in watching and explain what this final game can tell us about Penn State’s roster moving forward under Matt Campbell.Due to Grunkemeyer’s media availability time slot, we’ll be broadcasting today at 10:30 instead of 10 a.m. Join us live to be part of the show!

Grunkemeyer discusses dynamics with the new coaching staff Penn State’s starting quarterback spoke to the media as part of the team’s Pinstripe Bowl availability on Wednesday morning. We’ll discuss his most relevant comments when asked about the current situation with the team and his new coaching staff. The full press conference will be available after the show’s conclusion. Next, we’ll discuss the coaching staff and the latest news. Penn State officially hired two more coaches on Tuesday afternoon, with receivers coach Noah Pauley and quarterbacks coach Jake Waters joining the staff. We’ll discuss the hiring and what we know about the passing game duo so far. Pinstripe Bowl PreviewWith so many seniors on the Penn State football team this year, the chance for opt-outs or partial playing time from season-long starters is incredibly high. We’ll end the show today by discussing the players we find most interesting that we’ll likely see in the team’s final game of the 2025 season. We’ll discuss the positions on offense and defense where we think young players will be thrust into the starting lineup or key role player position. From there, we’ll discuss what we can learn about them and who has the chance to audition for a position on the upcoming roster under new head coach Matt Campbell. #PennState #NittanyLions JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters: https://bluewhiteonline.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3Why the Pinstripe Bowl Matters for Penn State Under Matt Campbell Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The team has hired several on- and off-field coaches in the last seven days, with more to come. Today on the BWI Live Show, we’ll take stock of where things stand right now and what is left for Campbell to decide. We’ll also track the latest recruiting additions over the weekend in Fitz’s Recruiting Update. Penn State also plays Clemson on the 27th in the Pinstripe Bowl. We’ll discuss the players who have opted out of the game and which players still have to announce their intentions for the final game of the 2025 Penn State football season. Join us for all of that and more! We’ll be taking your questions on today’s show and discussing whatever else is going on with Penn State football.

Transfer portal is heating up two weeks before it opens, Penn State staff updates Penn State has yet to be hit hard by the transfer portal, but the news is likely coming. Today, we’ll discuss the flurry of quarterbacks that entered the portal in the last several hours. Should Penn State be interested in any of them to join its 2026 roster? Of course, the biggest news in the first week of Campbell’s tenure at Penn State is his staff choices. So far, there have been far more off-field decisions than on-field coaching announcements. We’ll review the coaches who have officially joined the staff from Iowa State in the last week, discuss the retention plans we know about for the current staff, and then discuss what remains to learn about the staff in the coming days. Penn State Pinstripe Bowl Opt OutsNext, we’ll review the news surrounding the current team’s status for the Pinstripe Bowl on Dec. 27. So far, four seniors have announced that they will not play in the upcoming game. Two of those players, Zane Durant and Zakee Wheatley, will attend the Senior Bowl in Mobile next year. Two more, running back Kaytron Allen and Dani Dennis-Sutton, have not made a decision on the Pinstripe Bowl so far. We’ll discuss why players would opt out of a bowl game, but then play in the Senior Bowl for fans upset with the lack of participation in the season-ending game against Clemson. We’ll also list the seniors remaining who have yet to announce their intentions. Finally, we’ll review the team’s latest recruiting wins in Fitz’s recruiting udpate.#PennState #NittanyLions JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters: https://bluewhiteonline.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The 6-foot-4, 180-pound defensive back committed to Iowa State back in June following an official visit. He also took official visits to Washington State and Vanderbilt. Reporter Ryan Snyder and film analyst Thomas Frank Carr discuss his new fit with Penn State. After opening up his recruitment, both Minnesota and Purdue made a push for Williams, but it was his relationship with Campbell and defensive back coach Deon Broomfield that put Penn State in a strong position. Williams is also the son of Jamel Williams, who won two national championships at Nebraska in the mid-90s before playing for Washington and Green Bay in the NFL.#PennState #NittanyLions JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters: https://bluewhiteonline.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Click here to sign-up! https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/newsletter/join/Shortly after Penn State Athletic Director Pat Kraft fired head coach James Franklin, Blue White Illustrated had college football personality Josh Pate on the show to discuss the situation. After covering the history of Penn State and the coaching search to that point, Pate outlined what he thinks the next coach needs to be successful at Penn State. After listing off qualities, he gave a name. “Matt Campbell’s always been that guy for me.” Roughly two months later, Kraft flew out to Ames, Iowa, to meet Campbell and offer him the job. Today, he’s the 17th head coach for Penn State football, and Pate is back on the BWI YouTube channel to take a well-earned victory lap. You can hear the entire 30-minute conversation embedded in the article above or on our YouTube Channel. Be sure to subscribe to the BWI YouTube Channel so you don’t miss any special guest appearances, breaking news, or commitment announcements over the next several weeks and months as Campbell builds his staff and roster at Penn State. Pate does not hold back on criticism over Penn State coaching search While most of the interview discusses how Campbell will fit at Penn State and why this was such a great hire, Pate doesn’t hold back on criticism about how the search was handled by Kraft. “Yeah, they circumnavigated the globe to find treasure in their own backyard, is the way that I described it. So now that it's done and it's in our rearview mirror, and we know who the hire is going to be. I personally am happy about the hire. Anyone up there who's not eventually will be happy about the hire, because he'll win games.” Pate also said that the reason he was so confident in suggesting Campbell is because he knew how well Campbell would fit the job and that Penn State was a position that Campbell would consider leaving Iowa State for, unlike other job offers he’s gotten in the past. “The reason I threw Matt's name out there is because I knew if this job was presented properly, if this search was handled the right way, he'd be a strong candidate. His name would be in the mix for it, and that certainly is not because, like you said, he was looking to leave.” Check out the rest of the interview to hear what he had to say about the search, Campbell and the next steps for Penn State.

Can come within one of tying it at Wyoming this weekend. It does not sound like Nagao will be back. Barr could be. Barr/Connor Mirasola vs. Jore Volk is the match of the weekend if it happens. Will the Lions continue to turn to Nasdeo at 141 if no Nagao?RecruitingFrom there, Carr and Pickel dive into the latest recruiting news. Penn State wrestling is on a role in the Class of 2027. It's most recent addition is Indiana junior Clinton Shepherd. He picked the Nittany Lions on Saturday afternoon.Watch the Penn State wrestling show from BWI in the video player above, on YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts!"After a lot of prayer I am proud to announce I’m committing to continue my academic and wrestling career at Penn State University," Shepherd wrote on Instagram."Thankful for my family, coaches, and everyone who’s pushed me to get here also god for the guidance to put in my heart where I felt at home for the place I will pursue and chase my goals. Time to work!"Shepherd is MatScout's No. 6 Class of 2027 recruit. He is the outlet's No. 3 wrestler in the country at 144 pounds. He projects to wrestle somewhere between 157-174 at the next level.Head coach Cael Sanderson's team made a massive recent surge in this recruitment. The Crown Point High standout put out a top eight in August that included only Iowa State, Cornell, Michigan, Virginia Tech, Indiana, Nebraska, Ohio State, and N.C. State.Penn State now has verbal commitments in the Class of 2027 from Norwin, Pa., star Landon Sidun, who is No. 2 on MatScout’s 2027 big board, in addition to Ohio star Grey Burnett (No. 4), New York’s Gavin Mangano (No. 8), State College Area’s James Whitbred, and New York two-time state champ William Soto. Soto and Sidun are also wrestlers who look likely to compete in the 125- or 133-pound weight classes. However, projecting college weights at this juncture can sometimes be a bit of a fool’s errand. But, for what it’s worth, Mangano projects in the middle weights and Whitbred in the upper weights.”SHOW WRAPUPWhat they have to do to set a new consecutive dual meet wins recordBeat Wyoming, NDSU, Stanford#PennState #NittanyLions JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters: https://bluewhiteonline.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Penn State and Iowa State offensive roster comparison For Penn State to have its best chance to compete next fall, Campbell needs to successfully blend together the talent accumulated on the Penn State roster while supplementing and filling holes on the depth chart with key players from his team at Iowa State. While the transfer portal is a third wildcard in the process, today, we’ll focus on the first two. We’ll break down the offensive roster positions and discuss which starters could join Campbell in Happy Valley from Ames and which Penn State players are critical for him to retain.

We've been telling fans about that reality for weeks on the BWI Live Recruiting Show. Now, the damage is done, and Penn State officially has a two-man class after the opening of the early signing period in college football's recruiting calendar. On today's show, we'll assess the damage done, what's next for the team, and what it all means now that the team has no recruiting class and no coach. Recruiting reporters Sean Fitz and Ryan Snyder discuss that, plus we look into the team's coaching search two days after athletic director Pat Kraft whiffed on his selected candidate. Of course, the situation with Penn State's coaching search is in uncharted waters and could conclude at any moment.

Penn State lands a surprise commit in two-man classAs today is a recruiting show, we'll start by discussing the incredibly short list of players that Penn State has signed in its Class of 2026. The once 20-plus-player class has dwindled to one original commit and one familiar face who decided to rejoin the program. Malvern Prep defensive end Jackson Ford stayed committed to the Nittany Lions through the process. We'll discuss his comments as to why he chose to stay with the team through this transition to a new staff. Next, we'll discuss the fascinating story of quarterback Peyton Falzone. The ultra-talented athlete was committed to the program in the summer, but decommitted late in the summer in favor of Auburn. Of course, the Tigers also fired their coach this year. Falzone then decided to stay home and sign with the program. We'll take you through his journey and fit with the Nittany Lions. Coaching search latest Of course, the rest of today's show will be dedicated to the team's pursuit of its next head coach. Where are we now that the team has lost some of the next-best candidates, including Brian Hartline, Bob Chesney, Jeff Brohm, and others? Join the show to find out and to discuss how athletic director Pat Kraft's search has netted an incredible amount of money for other coaches who signed extensions with their schools this year. #PennState #NittanyLions JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters: https://bluewhiteonline.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We'll discuss how the length of the coaching search and the current state of affairs change what becomes important for recruiting and roster retention.

Allen had 107 yards on ten attempts, just at halftime. Singleton chipped in 81 yards and a record-setting score of his own. However, the defense struggled to stop a feisty Rutgers offense that played its RPO game well to threaten Penn State on the edges of the tackle box and in one-on-one coverage. The Scarlet Knights scored 21 points in the first half to keep the game within three.Yet young quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer operated an impressive scoring drive right before halftime. The Penn State offense ripped off two big passes to go 56 yards in just 26 seconds to kick a field goal and take a lead at halftime before receiving the ball after the break.The Penn State defense struggled for most of the game but came up with two timely plays, a fumble return for a touchdown by Amare Campbell, and a stop on fourth down by Zion Tracy to give Penn State the ball back with under four minutes remaining. Allen then salted the game away with a 47-yard run.Lions head into the postseasonBefore the season is officially over, be sure to check out the rest of our Penn State Football postgame content.

Penn State vs Nebraska recapThe Penn State offense jumped on Nebraska from the start and didn't let up. Penn State's dynamic duo of Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton combined for 157 yards through three quarters, and Allen broke the all-time rushing record at home on senior day to power the win. Singleton also tied Saquon Barkley's total touchdown record with two touchdowns in the game. Meanwhile, the Penn State defense made timely stops in the game to help the offense jump out ot a blistering start. The defense gave up a 70-yard drive, but went for it on 4th and 1 from inside the five, but got stopped by Amare Campbell and Zane Durant. The Huskers had another chance to get points, driving into the red zone, but had to settle for a field goal. That put Nebraska within seven points, which was the last time they were within one score the rest of the game. More postgame coverageBe sure to stick around for the rest of Blue White Illustrated's postgame coverage. We'll have Terry Smith's postgame press conference following the game, so you can hear it directly from Penn State's leader and find out why critical situations played out as they did.

The team is 4-6 and hopes to keep its postseason bowl berth realities alive for another week with a win. However, the news off the field is coming at the team fast and furious, with former head coach James Franklin's introduction at Virginia Tech on Wednesday. We're discussing the recruiting fallout from the moves, plus giving our score predictions for the upcoming game on today's BWI Live Recruiting Show.

Penn State staffing and recruiting updateYesterday, we announced the news that six of Penn State's support staff had left the program to join Franklin at Virginia Tech. Today, we'll discuss the move with recruiting reporters Ryan Snyder and Sean Fitz. What sort of impact will these moves have on the program? What did those staffers do in the first place? We'll discuss how their absence will change things for Smith and his staff. Next, we'll dig into the gritty business of Penn State recruiting news. The team has just 11 commits left in the Class of 2026 after several high-profile decommitments in the last seven days. We'll review which players have committed elsewhere, and which ones are heading to Blacksburg for an official visit with Franklin this weekend. Finally, we'll end with some good news about the one player who has stayed resolutely committed to Penn State through the transition. Game day recruiting and Nebraska preview Finally, we'll discuss what fans can expect from the final game day in Happy Valley this coming weekend. Will the team host any commits? Is that even possible with the staff changes? Then, we'll discuss the on-field matchup between Nebraska and Penn State at 7 pm. Penn State is riding high after its first win under Smith, the team's interim head coach, and is hosting a Nebraska team that also lacks its starting quarterback. Is that enough to push the Nittany Lions over the top of the higher-ranked team? We'll discuss the key matchups on both sides of the ball and then give our score predictions to end the show. #PennState #NittanyLions JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters: https://bluewhiteonline.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3Can Penn State Save Its Roster?

Penn State vs Michigan State Recap The Penn State offense hit a rare explosive play in the game against Michigan State, with a 75-yard touchdown strike to Devonte Ross. However, starting quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer had an uneven game, so the team relied on starting running backs Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton. The duo combined for over 35 touches in the game and over 100 yards. However, the story of the game was the Penn State defensive line. Defensive end Dani Dennis-Sutton had a strong performance with two sacks and a QB hit to keep the Michigan State offense at bay while Penn State's offense struggled through a third-quarter slump. Penn State finally put distance between itself and Michigan State in the fourth quarter to get the win. More Postgame content Of course, we've got more coverage for you after the game beyond the postgame show.

They wrestle in the 157- and 165-pound weight classes, respectively.Besides those two, who are Nos. 7 and 17 in their respective weight class rankings, per InterMat, Oklahoma also added expected starter Tyson Carmoli from Wyoming at 133, two-time NCAA qualifier Tyler Wells at 141 from Minnesota, Jack Gioffre from Virginia at 149, and senior Brian Soldano from Rutgers at 184 pounds.#PennState #NittanyLions JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters: https://bluewhiteonline.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today on the BWI Live Recruiting Show, we'll discuss how those three weeks are also critical for the team's recruiting efforts heading into the early signing period in December. How will Penn State navigate this weekend and beyond? We'll discuss all of that and share our thoughts on today's practice viewing session on the show. Join us live at 10 a.m. on YouTube to discuss your thoughts as well! We'll be taking your questions and comments throughout the show to see what's on your mind this week. Penn State practice update and recruiting news Penn State held open practice on Wednesday evening in a truncated fashion. We'll spend a few minutes discussing what we saw in the two-period open viewing session for the media. What did we see? Tune in to find out. Next, we'll dig into the latest recruiting news for the program. More player are flipping or opening up their commitments. We'll review the latest players to choose other programs and discuss the fallout of what the 2026 recruiting situation is for Penn State heading into the early signing period. Of course, the team hosted recruits last week against Indiana. Were they able to get critical players to join them on campus for the near-upset victory over Indiana? Reporter Ryan Snyder will discuss how commit Marlen Bright made it back to campus and the significance of his presence to the class. From there, he'll discuss notable names who joined Bright. Penn State vs Michigan State Preview Finally, we'll discuss the upcoming game against Michigan State. Can Penn State finally get a Big Ten win in a season of agonizing defeats? We'll discuss where Penn State can take advantage of the Spartans and how we see this game playing out between the lines. The biggest wildcard for the Nittany Lions is that there's uncertainty about how Michigan State will play at quarterback. Backup Alessio Milivojevic gave the team a spark and nearly upset Minnesota in the team's Nov. 1, 23-20 loss. Milivojevic completed 71% of his passes for 311 yards in the back-and-forth affair. Yet starter Aidan Chiles is athletic and dangerous with the ball in his hands. He has 255 yards on designed runs this year and another 157 scrambling. QB containment has been the Achilles Heel of the Penn State defense, so which player will see the field this weekend? Join the show to hear our discussion on that, and more! #PennState #NittanyLions JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters: https://bluewhiteonline.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3Penn State vs Michigan State Preview: Can Lions Finally Win a Big Ten Game? | Recruiting Flips Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week, interim head coach Terry Smith said that the program found its quarterback of the future in Ethan Grunkemeyer. Is that true? Reporter Greg Pickel examines the position heading into the uncertain future for the team with a new head coach on the horizon. Finally, we'll end the first half of today's show by doing a quick practice preview of what we're hoping to see tonight when the Nittany Lions open up the facility for our weekly 10 minutes of viewing.

Penn State vs Indiana Recap: Terry Smith Press Conference Are there such things as moral victories in football?

Click here to sign-up! https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/newsletter/join/The Penn State football team once again fought hard but failed to finish, losing to second-ranked Indiana on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. Penn State has not dropped consecutive games to the top two teams in the country in as many weeks. The team is now on an unprecedented six-game losing streak and is winless in conference play. Discuss the loss and the rest of the season on the Blue White Illustrated LaBatt Postgame Show. We'll break down what happened during the game and how Penn State failed to execute in crunch time when it mattered most. We'll also be taking your questions throughout the hour-long show. It's also a great time to subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel and Blue White Illustrated. Penn State is coming down the home stretch of the college football season and will name a new head coach in the next few months. Penn State keeps it close at halftime The Penn State defense showed up in a much better way to start the game against the Hoosiers. The team allowed 17 points at halftime, but seven came on a short field, thanks to a fumble by starting running back Kaytron Allen during the two-minute drive before halftime. Defensive coordiantor Jim Knowles came out aggressive, collecting six tackles for loss in the first half thanks to run blitzes and pressure. However, the team's issues with stopping the quarterback run still lingered and allowed Indiana to convert too many third downs. Fernando Mendoza collected 30 yards and a touchdown on four rushing attempts, which also included a first-half sack and loss of yardage. Penn State offense shows some life Despite not getting many quality looks and attempts, starting quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer showed poise on Saturday, completing nine of 11 passing attempts for 90 yards, including a 43-yard strike to Trebor Pena, who broke a tackle and got an explosive play with yards after the catch. However, Penn State tried to throw into the teeth of the Indiana defense too much, and only mounted two drives of more than four plays in the first half. Penn State roared back in the second half and took a 24-20 lead with two minutes left in the game. However, the team punted with two minutes left in the game, and Indiana marched down the field to get the go-ahead score and win.

We cover all of that and more on a new episode of The Blue-White Illustrated Penn State wrestling show.Host Thomas Frank Carr and reporter Greg Pickel kick things off by looking back at U23 Worlds.

Penn State vs Ohio State RecapNext, we'll give our thoughts on how the game played out. Why can't the team pass the football? What makes the offense so frustrating to watch? We'll discuss the issues that the team has and why Liam Clifford is part of the offense as a wildcat quarterback. Finally, we'll discuss how this playcalling is indicative of bad teams. Next, we'll discuss the defensive effort and whether there's anything the team can build on for the next coaching staff, for players who can return if they choose not to enter the transfer portal.

Your home for the final stretch of the Penn State football season is Blue White illustrated! Penn State drops its fifth straight gameDespite the loss, Penn State went down swinging. In a battle of two teams determined to play methodical football, the Lions matched the Buckeyes in the first half. Despite uneven play to start the game, the offense put together a 15-play 75-yard drive that took up nearly eight minutes of game time in the second quarter before a Nick Singleton touchdown brought the game within three points. From there, it was a battle of big-play moments where the Penn State defense once again failed to sack the quarterback on third down, and Ohio State passer Julian Sayin scrambled for a first down on third and five. Soon after, he tossed a 45-yard touchdown to Carnell Tate to extend the lead by seven. Things looked bleak with four minutes left in the first half as Penn State punted on the following drive, giving Ohio State the chance to double-dip before halftime. However, CJ Donaldson fumbled the ball and Chaz Coleman picked it up, returning it to the 13-yard line. Penn State then punched the ball in to score before halftime. However, Ohio State made adjustments after halftime, and the Buckeyes' offense was just too much for the Penn State defense. The Buckeyes compiled three plays of 50-plus yards on three straight drives to blow the game open and get the runaway win. More postgame content Of course, you don't want to miss Smith's comments after the loss to Ohio State. We'll have those for you moments after his press conference concludes here on the YouTube Channel. We'll also have reporter Greg Pickel's thoughts on how the game played out and what he saw from the press box in his Instant Analysis.

Penn State decommit and flip updateWe'll rip the band-aid off to begin the show and discuss the bad news for the program. Several players have announced their decisions to decommit from the program and look for a new place to play football. We'll also discuss defensive tackle Alex Haskell's decision to skip that part and flip to Syracuse this week. Next, we'll outline the latest info on where players plan to visit in the coming weeks. Can Penn State's current staff fend off the attack from other top schools to keep players in the program long enough for athletic director Pat Kraft to find the next head coach? Must-keep players Penn State doesn't have a top-five class by any means, but there are some very talented players in the 2026 recruiting cycle. Today, we'll discuss which players are must-keep prospects in the 2026 class. If Penn State can get any players to stick around, this group is essential to be on that list. We'll discuss why linebackers Elijah Littlejohn and Terry Wiggins are part of this group, along with safety Darrell Carey. What's the timeline for enrollment? Finally, Snyder will discuss the timeline for how long players can wait around to find out who will be Penn State's next head coach. Snyder will give a rough outline of the recruiting calendar and its intricacies to give fans an understanding of how the program could make changes in December and still get key players to enroll early for the coming year. #PennState #NittanyLions JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters: https://bluewhiteonline.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The team, fresh off the emotional blow of head coach James Franklin's firing, couldn't get it done on the road and lost to the Iowa Hawkeyes. We'll discuss the game, how the team responded to the week, and what another loss means to the program. Join the show live immediately following the game to discuss the loss. We'll be talking with fans for roughly an hour about what led to the defeat and what the team's outlook is now that it's struggling for bowl eligibility. The Penn State football team fights to close finish Interim head coach Terry Smith fired up his team this week and found the right combination on offense and defense to play a close game with the Hakweyes. Defensively, Zakee Wheatley got an interception on Iowa's first drive of the game, which Penn State turned into a touchdown. After a field goal by Iowa, the team traded punts for much of the first half. Then, after an Ethan Grunkemeyer interception set up an Iowa touchdown, it seemed that all was going the wrong way for the Nittany Lions. Penn State punted with roughly a minute left in the first half, and Iowa set up for a 66-yard field goal. Defensive tackle Xavier Gilliam blocked the attempt, and Elliot Washington returned the block for a touchdown before half. The team then scored coming out of halftime to take a 21-10 lead. However, the Nittany Lions tried to go for a fourth and one from their own 40-yard line, which tight end Luke Reynolds did not convert. Penn State and Iowa traded drives in the fourth quarter but Iowa QB Mark Granowski broke a long 67-yard run to set up the go-ahead touchdown for the Hawkeyes. More Postgame CoverageHear what interim head coach Terry Smith had to say after the game in his postgame press conference. Blue White Illustrated is out on the road in Iowa, and reporter Greg Pickel will bring you Smith's comments, plus his own thoughts on the game afterward, with our weekly Instant Analysis. The team now gets a much-needed bye week and will need to find its composure as the team is now in the thick of its toughest road of Big Ten games.
