Yet with all of that, the team is also working on building for the future with recruiting. We’ll tackle both conversations today on the BWI Live Recruiting Show. Join reporters Ryan Snyder and Sean Fitz as they discuss the team’s efforts to find the right players for the short and long term in the first year under Penn State head coach Matt Campbell. Join the show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube! We’ll be discussing these topics, outlining where there’s still work to be done on the roster, plus taking your thoughts and questions!

Portal Prospect vitis Of course, the main topic for most fans is the constant stream of portal visitors coming to Happy Valley in the two-week blitz for player additions. We’ll discuss the latest players to visit Penn State and what they would mean to the program should they sign with the Nittany Lions. Today we’ll feature defensive tackle Xion Chapman, who visited the program this past week and spoke to Snyder about the experience. We’ll then broaden the conversation to the other prospects that our guests think are important to add to the roster for the upcoming season. Want to submit a name for consideration? Join the chat and give your take!Finally, we’ll outline the positions that most need to add bodies for the upcoming season. While the answer right now is “all of them,” we’ll narrow the list down to the top three or four positions that have the biggest needs on the roster. Penn State gets another commit in the Class of 2026In the flurry of news about the team’s portal action, it would be easy to miss the news that Penn State signed another Class of 2026 prospect this week. State College native D’Antae Sheffy committed to the program. The running back was on the previous staff’s radar but was not part of the original Class of 2026. We’ll discuss what’s changed and what Fitz and Snyder know about Sheffy, and the situation at running back. Of course, it’s a good time to review the Class of 2026 and where it stands heading into the middle of January. Finally, we’ll preview the next phase in recruiting for the new staff. How can the staff fit junior days into the equation with the portal at full blast? We’ll discuss the team’s next phase in recruiting 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/PennStateOn3Penn State’s Portal Blitz Rolls On: New Commit, Visits & Big Needs Remain Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On today’s BWI Live Show, we’ll try to sort through the flood of information and make sense of it all for Penn State fans. We’ll discuss the names you need to know from the Iowa State transfer list, the players visiting and committing who aren’t former Cylcones, plus the latest from the defensive coach reset.

Penn State Portal additionsThere’s no other place to start today than to discuss the Penn State portal additions flooding in from Ames, IA. Penn State added 19 former Cyclones to the roster in the last three days. Should fans be worried about the number of Big 12 players taking a step up in competition to the highest level of the Big Ten? We’ll discuss the nuance of the situation and what to make of the additions. Of course, not every player will come from Iowa. There are plenty of other players on campus this weekend, and we’ll discuss some of the names to know, including Keanu Williams, who committed to the program from UCLA on Monday night. Some fans are concerned that the team isn’t aggressive enough in targeting “star” players in the portal. Is that true, and if so, why? Athletic director Pat Kraft set out a vision and a large sum of money for the team to use. Do we think they’re using it? Portal retention and departuresIn the midst of that, several key players on the Penn State roster also made decisions about their futures. We’ll discuss the impact of Amare Campbell's departure from the program and Malachi Goodman's stay on board. Of course, Tyseer Denmark also decided to stay, so we’ll factor that into the list of players who have decided since the last time we sat down for a show. Coaching updates Finally, we’ll review the coaching news from the last several days, which finally gave fans clarity on the defensive staff. We’ll discuss what we’ve learned about defensive line coach Ikaika Malloe and how he fits into the plan going forward with the rumors of another defenisve line coach joining the staff. We’ll also address the same situation at linebacker with former Cincinnati defensive coordiantor Tyson Veidt joining the staff that already includes Dan Connor as linebackers coach. Finally, what’s the latest update on the running backs coach? We’ll give you the news you need to know about the pursuit of the next RB coach. Join the show at 10 a.m. to discuss all of 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 Adds 20 Transfers: What the Portal Flood Really Means Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

While those players are critical to the team’s immediate success, how they fit—and what their additions say about the team’s future—are becoming clearer. I’ll be providing breakdowns of each position and player in the coming days, but this weekend I spent my time scouting defensive line targets.Not only is the defensive line’s transition a key part of the team’s success next season, but most of that talent won’t be coming from Ames. On top of that, the team is incorporating a new defensive scheme under coordinator D’Anton Lynn. Identifying what Penn State is prioritizing along the defensive line will tell us more about the types of players and traits the staff values. It will also provide insight into the kind of front they want to build.With so much information to sort through, we’ll be doing this in stages. Today, we’re disucssing four defensive line targets in the portal. Learn more about Keanu Williams, Alijah Carnell, Joe Hjelle and Anto Saka.

Penn State head coach Matt Campbell and GM Derek Hoojer have been working to get to know the current roster and develop a retention plan for the team ahead of the 2026 portal. How has that plan gone so far? We’ll grade each offensive position for its ability to keep quality players in the Lasch Building so far. While many have announced their intentions to leave or return, there’s a handful of players at each position who have yet to make their plans known. We’ll issue a grade now, but reserve the right to update it as we learn more about the undecided situations over time. Today, we focus on the quarterback and offensive tackle positions with the loss of Ethan Grunkemeyer to the portal, but the retention of Anthony Donkoh and several other offensive tackles.

Key players on offense and defense chose to stay with the program under first-year head coach Matt Campbell for the upcoming season. Still, the team also lost players who intended to test the portal and find a new home, including a key quarterback. We’ll discuss all of that, plus the latest on which players will join the program out of the transfer portal today. Join the BWI Live Transfer Portal Show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube! Blue White Illustrated reporter Sean Fitz joins us for an hour to discuss the activity this week and what he makes of the situation heading into the first official weekend of the 2026 roster-building season. Two Penn State targets emerge on Day OneThere are a number of places we could start today’s show, but we’ll begin with the latest news, which includes the players that Penn State is now predicted to get out of the portal now that it’s open. It’s no surprise that Iowa State quarterback Rocco Becht and tight end Benjamin Brahmer already have predictions placed that they will sign with Penn State. We’ll discuss the news and the fit within the program now that we know more about what will be around them. The coaching staff has also done an excellent job of retaining key players in the week heading up to the transfer portal. We’ll review the names that have announced their return this week. Who stands out, and which players are most pivotal to the team’s ability to compete in the coming season? We’ll break down the situation for Penn State fans on today’s show. Portal hits Lions hard on Friday Of course, the largest number of players making a move today are leaving the program. We’ll outline the players moving on from the Penn State football team and which players are the biggest loss to Campbell and his staff. Of course, the biggest blow came on Thursday evening when starting quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer announced that he’s entering the transfer portal and looking for a new place to start this upcoming season. Finally, we’ll circle back to the biggest news of the week. Penn State hired USC defensive coordinator and alum D’Anton Lynn to lead the defense. We’ll discuss the situation as he settles into his role and the coaches he’s added to the staff since coming on board mid-week. Join the BWI Live Show to discuss all of this, plus much more!

Penn State vs Clemson recapWe’ll start the show by discussing the offensive performance that Penn State put together under quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer in his final start of the 2025. Season. Was “Grunk” as good as it seemed? We’ll discuss the analytics and the film to discuss Grunkemeyer’s performance against the Clemson defense.

Did any other players stand out and provide a new perspective on their skills? We’ll discuss the standout performers from the game. Next, we’ll flip to the defensive side of the football and discuss the team’s shutdown performance against Clemson. How were they able to stymie the Tigers’ offensive attack under senior quarterback Cade Klubnik? We’ll discuss Penn State’s plan of attack and what allowed Penn State to keep Clemson to just three points through three quarters. Offseason begins nowFinally, we’ll take a look at the team’s future. The transfer portal opens on Friday, and Penn State still doesn’t have a defensive coordinator.

Three-star wide receiver Ben Whitver flipped from JMU to the Nittany Lions, making him the tenth player in the Class of 2026. So is Penn State settling on a player that won’t cut it in the Big Ten?

Penn State battles the elements and the Clemson TigersIt was a cold and sloppy field for both Penn State and Clemson on Saturday. As a result, offense was hard to come by in the game. Both teams dealt with slipping by receivers and ball-carriers on the slick stadium surface after eight inches of snow fell in New York the night before the game. The slick surface led to less confident cutting by receivers and less open targets for both quarterbacks. The two teams combined for three official drops in the first half, but both quarterbacks finished with a sub-60% completion percentage in the first half. However, both offenses woke up right before halftime. Clemson tied the game at 3-3 with a 10-play drive that spanned just under three minutes. Ethan Grunkemeyer and the Penn State offense responded with a ten-play 48-yard drive of their own in just over 50 seconds. That drive ended in a Ryan Barker Field goal to give the Lions a 6-3 lead heading into the locker room. After a short third quarter in which Penn State controlled the clock, the Lions took a 9-3 lead to start the fourth quarter after a run-heavy drive to end the third. The Penn State defense suffocated the Clemson offense, giving up just three points through three quarters and just 163 yards total through the early part of the fourth when Penn State went up by 12 points with a 71-yard touchdown strike to Trebor Pena. Postgame contentOf course, it’s not just the postgame show that will keep you company as the echoes of the season finale fade.

Meanwhile, the team continues to transition from the James Franklin era to the Matt Campbell era as the team steadily works toward January and the transfer portal. This week on the BWI Live Show, we’ll discuss the team's latest roster news, including transfers from the program. Players the team may target in the portal, and the latest coaching news. The team still needs a defensive coordinator, and it still needs to finalize details with several defensive coaches. With Christmas on Thursday, today will be the only BWI Live Show this week. However, we’ll have a full weekend of game coverage on the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel. Join us at 9 a.m. from downtown State College as we broadcast live from the Scholar Hotel at the Big Springs Spirits Tasting room. We’ll preview the matchup between Clemson and Penn State for 90 minutes heading into the official radio pregame show. You can hear the Tailgate Show on the BWI YouTube Channel, 99.8 The Bus, or on Bigfoot Country Legends. The Tailgate Show is produced in conjunction with Seven Mountains Media. Penn State roster reveals its new form with transfers It’s no secret that plenty of Penn State football players plan to enter the transfer portal in the next few weeks, but some of the names are starting to come out publicly this week. Late last week, defensive end Chaz Coleman put his name into the portal, and on Monday evening, starting cornerback A.J. Harris added his name to the list. Today, we’ll discuss the impact of losing a rising star and a top starter from the defensive secondary for the upcoming season. How many other players could make their way to the portal? We won’t speculate about names, but we’ll give fans an outline of what to expect. On the flip side, the transfer portal is filling up with potential Penn State football players if the team is interested in bringing in outside help for 2026. The obvious place to start is the Iowa State transfer portal tracker, which has six names expected to join the ranks of players looking for a new home in the new year. We’ll discuss which names you need to know, including starting quarterback Rocco Becht. Staffing update: Or lack thereof It’s been very quiet on the staffing front for the last several days. After a flurry of news in the first week and a half, the team’s coaching roster under Campbell has remained silent. What’s the latest on the team’s pursuit of a defensive coordinator? Why haven’t the deals become official with defensive line coach Deion Barnes and linebackers Dan Connor? We’ll discuss what we know about the situation and give fans the latest on the impact of not having those pieces in place.Want to discuss something else?

Snyder has spoken with coaches and players and will share his highlights to start today’s show. Of course, the team still has just six commits for this cycle. Can they find at least enough players to equal roughly half of a recruiting cycle? We’ll discuss the uncommitted players left that the team may target in this next phase, which culminates on the traditional signing day in February. Plus, we’ll review the prospects from Michigan that make sense for Penn State to target. Penn State targets and offersBeyond the Class of 2026 prospects Penn State is trying to salvage, the team has been aggressive this week with its offers for the Class of 2027.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Reporter Greg Pickel is on site in East Lansing to give you his Instant Analysis after the game. He'll discuss his view of the win and what he thinks of the team's performance from this afternoon.

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.

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.

That means this week, following a mostly successful trip to the U23 World Championships in late October, the Nittany Lions put out their new roster for the year. 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.

Rocco Welsh, Marcus Blaze, and Josh Barr all also competed but ended up off the medal stand. Barr suffered an injury at U23 Worlds that ended his tournament early. The show uses that as a jumping off point to transition into a look at the 2025-2026 season and the new roster. A written version of our top takeaways is available here.From there, Carr and Pickel look ahead to the season that starts next Friday when Oklahoma comes to the Bryce Jordan Center.You can watch this week's BWI Penn State wrestling show in the embedded player in this article.
