On Monday, Kraft spoke to the media about the decision, outlining his reasons, what comes next, and how Penn State can recover from its current state. After that, interim head coach Terry Smith spoke to reporters for about 25 minutes about the team's state. Today on the BWI Live show, we'll discuss the critical moments from yesterday's events.

We'll play quotes from his press conference, which you can hear on the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel to provide context to the conversation. Next, we'll discuss what Smith had to say about the state of the team and what he thinks led to the collapse after the White Out loss to Oregon.

We'll discuss the fallout and impact of his injury for the rest of the year. Penn State vs NorthwesternIt's a jam-packed show, so our attention to the loss that ignited the change may get underrepresented on the show.

Click here to sign-up! https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/newsletter/join/The Penn State Nittany Lions did it again, and not in a good way. Penn State lost to Northwestern, dropping to 3-3 on the season and winless in conference play. What's more, they may have lost their starting quarterback. The team fell in another frustrating performance, thanks to a listless defense and special teams that allowed Northwestern a late lead. Then, quarterback Drew Allar left the game with a lower-leg injury. Join the BWI Live postgame show to discuss the loss and what it means for the teams going forward. We'll be taking your questions and comments on the show as the team struggles to find its way. Penn State's ugly season gets uglier The Penn State defense once again struggled to get off the field, giving up multiple ten-plus play drives to Northwestern, aided by penalties and special teams blunders. The defense allowed Northwestern quarterback Preston Stone to get into a rhythm, completing 65% of his attempts. The team's sloppy performance on defense included two face-mask penalties and another offside on third down. Penn State's offense fails to convert in the second half Penn State's offense was much less anemic early in the game, with Kaytron Allen gaining 59 yards in the first half. However, a Drew Allar interception on the team's first drive, after a blocked punt, ended the team's first scoring opportunity. Late in the game, a muffed punt by Devonte Ross set up Northwestern with a field goal attempt to take the lead. Penn State returned fire with a 67-yard catch and run from Ross, which set the team up for a one-yard Drew Allar score. However, the defense broke down on the return drive from Northwestern, allowing a touchdown and a 22-21 lead for the Wildcats. On the ensuing possession, Allar hurt his ankle on a third-down stop, and backup quarterback Ethan Gurnkemery found the same success on fourth down. Penn State's defense failed to stop Northwestern, and the Wildcats held the clock.More hard questions for Penn StateThe wheels have truly come off for the Penn State football team. Head coach James Franklin's comments after the game are here on the Blue White Illustrated YouTube channel. We'll have those moments after its conclusion. We'll also have Instant Analysis from the sidelines of Beaver Stadium with reporters Sean Fitz, Nate Bauer, and Greg Pickel. What happens next for the Lions? The next few days will be very tense in Happy Valley. #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.

Join the Penn State Football postgame show to discuss the loss, and what it means for the Nittany Lions. The Lions are now 3-2 and 0-2 in conference play. Penn State defense gets off-kilter from UCLA attackLast week, the Penn State defense gave up over 400 yards to the Oregon offense in a nail-biting, overtime loss to Oregon in which they only surrendered 3 points through 40 minutes of game time. This week, they surrendered nearly 300 yards and 27 points in the first half. UCLA's new-look offense shifted its focus and dialed up an unexpected game plan for the Nittany Lions, focusing on short, quick passes. Quarterback Nico Iamaleava was 14-18 before halftime with 158 passing yards and two touchdowns as a result. Once UCLA had Penn State off-balance, they threw deep passes over the heads of the Penn State corners, completing passes against Zion Tracy and Elliot Washington in man coverage. Penn State offense is effective but rarely on the fieldMeanwhile, the Penn State offense sat on its hands for most of the first half. UCLA dropped a surprise onside kick to take back-to-back possessions to start the game. Despite an effective opening drive in which the team marched down the field 10 plays for 75 yards and a touchdown in just four and a half minutes, the offense was rarely on the field. Penn State had just three possessions during the first half. One of the key possessions in that half was right before the break. Penn State had all three timeouts and the ball near midfield. Penn State head coach James Franklin opted to drain the clock on the front half of the drive, but his team failed to convert a fourth and 4. UCLA took the ball over on downs with two timeouts left and gained enough yardage for a field goal to go up 27-7. Despite a furious comeback in the second half, Penn State's defense only forced one punt and a long field goal attempt.Next up for Penn StateWhat did Franklin have to say after the loss? Check out his postgame comments here on the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel after the show. We'll also have reactions from the staff here on the site.

The atmosphere provided by the fans was electric to a new level and provided an incredible backdrop for the team's recruiting efforts, which we've chronicled on the BWI Live Recruiting Show for over a month.

We'll discuss the impact on the defense, the team, and what happens next for the program.

We'll also outline a flurry of recruiting predictions from Steve Wiltfong in favor of the Nittany Lions after the game. UCLA PreviewFinally, we'll end the show discussing the upcoming game against the floundering UCLA Bruins.

What does the Penn State offense need to do to get on track? What do we expect from the team on that side of the ball? We'll break down the adjustments and expectations for the Lions out in LA this weekend.

The team will have its final practice on the East Coast tonight, which the media will be able to attend. Yet with all of that, including another game looming the horizon, we're spending another day talking about the Penn State offense and how the team can right the ship on today's BWI Live Show. Join us as we discuss the quick and long-term fixes in the offense that can help the team find a more potent combination of scheme and talent on the field.

The LA Times reported last night that offensive coordinator Tino Sunseri has parted ways with the program, and Jerry Neuheisel will take over as playcaller. How does this affect Penn State's game plan for the Bruins? What could change in such a short order? We'll discuss the impact of such a move on this weekend's game. Penn State offensive fixes During Monday's press conference, Penn State head coach James Franklin fielded multiple questions about how his offense has performed and what it might need to do in order to change the narrative around the program. Today, we'll utilize some of that information, along with our own research into the offensive output, and propose some short-term and long-term solutions that can help reignite the Lions' offensive productivity. We'll look at the run game and how the team can reorganize its ground attack. However, the bulk of our time will be spent examining the Penn State passing attack and how the team can improve its ineffective aerial offense. Despite the anger and concern, there might be some quick fixes that could spell a positive outcome for the program's top quarterback, Drew Allar. Then, we'll examine some longer-term changes to the offense that may take time but would be worth considering. Best Bets and UCLA Preview Finally, we'll look at the game from a prognostication standpoint and discuss Penn State's over-under in this week's Best Bets segment. We'll end the show discussing UCLA's offense and defense as we've seen it to give fans an expectation of how this weekend should go. #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.

Ep 987Penn State vs Oregon Postgame Show

The Penn State Nittany Lions football team lost to the Oregon Ducks in the 2025 White Out game. It was another big game opportunity to make a statement for the program, and the team fell at home, despite an electric atmosphere from the crowd. Join the BWI Live Postgame show to discuss what happened and how the team let the latest regular-season win slip away. We're live at the final whistle of the game on YouTube and will spend an hour with fans discussing their thoughts on the game while breaking down the action from our perspective. If you're waking up on Sunday morning and want to learn more about the game, check out the BWI Live Show on replay in this article, on the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel, and wherever you get your podcasts. Penn State struggle on offense in another big game The Penn State offense failed to show up in another big game. The team gained just 69 yards in the first half and scored a field goal early in the game. Unsurprinsgly, the offense was poor on third down again tonight, going only 4-11 (36%) through the third quarter. The offense woke up late, with a 34-yard touchdown strike from quarterback Drew Allar to receiver Devonte Ross. Penn State had the ball with four minutes left in the game down seven points, but the offense failed to punch the end zone to tie the game up. Defense plays a warrior's game With the offense struggling, the Nittnay Lions defense was able to keep the team in the game against an explosive and dangerous Oregon offense. Penn State gave up yards, but kept a lid on Dakorien Moore and Dante Moore, the talented duo at receiver and quarterback for Oregon. Linebaker Amare Campbell and safety Zakee Wheatley led the team in tackles and plays throughout the game, but wore down late, giving up two touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters to give up an insurmountable lead. More Postgame coverage: Of course, you'll also likely want to know what Penn State head coach James Franklin had to say after the game. We'll have his full press conference comments on our YouTube Channel following the loss.

Penn State recruiting news update It was a black week for several schools, as Virginia Tech head coach and former Penn State defensive coordiantor Brent Pry and UCLA head coach Deshaun Foster were fired by their schools. With the changes in NCAA rules, the gates are now open for the players on those rosters to enter the transfer portal. What does this mean for Penn State and its roster?

Next, we'll discuss the most important visitor from last weekend's win over Villanova.

Most indications are that this would be a good place to be. Yet why are there alarm bells ringing and fire alarms going off inside the Penn State fan base? Today on the BWI Live Show, we'll discuss the 52-6 win over Villanova.

We'll give our thoughts on what we've learned about the program and what Franklin has said this month that has informed our opinions. We'll also look at the Penn State defense and what we've learned about that side's progress through the first month of the calendar to assess if they're ready to take on Oregon next weekend in the White Out Game.

The Nittany Lions offense once again looked uncomfortable against FCS Villanova. Join the BWI Live Labatt Postgame Show to discuss the win and what you thought of the game and the team's performance through three games. We'll be taking your questions and comments throughout the sixty-minute show. Penn State puts up 21 points in the first halfOnce again, the Penn State offense failed to look crisp and effective in the first half of the game. Quarterback Drew Allar had a 50% completion percentage and only 80 yards passing in the second quarter. Much of that came at the two-minute warning when he found receiver Trebor Pena on a 21-yard touchdown strike to cap the team's two-minute drive. The run game also struggled to blow away the crowd. Nick Singleton led the team with 20 carries before the backups came in for the fourth quarter. He rushed for 84 yards but failed to rip off long runs or break tackles. However, he did find the end zone twice. The offense focused on the receivers early, with Pena leading the squad, tallying 60 yards on four catches, including seven targets. However, the big plays once again came from the tight ends. Luke Reynolds ripped off a 22-yard catch and run and caught four catches for 73 yards and a score. Defense gives the Nittany Lions breathing room on offenseOn the flip side, the Penn State defense was the dominant force that fans wanted from the team. They allowed just six yards in the first quarter and amassed 45 of their 69 yards in the first half on one 45-yard drive that ended in a missed field goal. The starting defense allowed just three drives that didn't result in a three-and-out. The linebackers were once again heavily involved in the action. Amare Campbell had three tackles for a loss, and Tony Rojas had two to lead the team. Both players were the leading tacklers with 5 and 7, respectively. The duo also tallied three combined sacks, thanks to suffocating coverage. The team used both to spy the Villanova quarterbacks, resulting in late-down pressures. What's next for the team?Penn State enters its first bye week of the season and seems to have gone through the first three games with no major injuries to starters in game action. The team will need to sharpen its play on offense because top-five Oregon comes to town on Sept. 27 for the annual White Out game. #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 Villanova Postgame Show: Offense Still Uneven in Blowout Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It will likely be a slow recruiting weekend with an FCS team in town, but recruiting is about to heat up. The team goes on a bye following the game, which means the coaches will be hitting the road to recruit for a few days before returning to prepare for Oregon in the 2025 White Out Game. Today, we'll do an early preview of the coming weeks, plus discuss Wednesday night practice, and preview the game on Saturday. Penn State practice update Last night, the Penn State football team held open practice to the media, and Blue White Illustrated was there to gather intel about the team. We'll discuss what we saw and heard from the Nittany Lions to start the show. Reporter Sean Fitz checked out the defensive side of the ball and wrote notes on his observations last night. He'll discuss some of those, plus you can see our offensive highlights from last night during the live show. Bye week and White Out PreviewWhile the recruiting lists to begin the season have been much better than expected, the team's recruiting intensity and importance are about to hit a fever pitch for the next few weeks. After the game against Villanova, Penn State enters its first bye week of the season. Typically on bye weeks, the coaching staff hits the road for a few days before coming back to Happy Valley to prepare for the next game. We'll preview how that process works, and what fans should expect from the next week in terms of recruiting news and visits. Is it too early to start talking about flip targets? Fitz will discuss how the process works. From there, the team hosts Oregon in the White Out for one of the most anticipated games at Beaver Stadium in quite some time. Over 60 recruits are already confirmed for the event and we'll do a quick preview of the players that stand out from the crowded list of high school stars. Villanova game preview Finally, the team still needs to win against Villanova on Saturday. Yet after two games that didn't feel as dominant as they might have, will Penn State surge past the Wildcats in the final non-conference game? We'll discuss the game and the areas where Penn State can grow and learn from the schematic tendencies that Villanova presents to them.

Penn State struggles to get into the end zone The Penn State offense put together 26 plays in its first three drives spanning the first and second quarters.

While the team moved the ball, they once again struggled to hit big plays in the run or passing game. Allar underthrew a deep pass to Devonte Ross , which resulted in a pass interference call, and running back Nick Singleton had several big runs of ten-plus yards, but failed to convert several opportunities into explosive play touchdowns. Finally, Drew Allar hit Ross on a 42-yard touchdown pass into contested coverage. to put Penn State up by three scores. Defense pitches a shutout On the other side, the Penn State defense wasn't perfect, but they did pitch a shutout, allowing the offense time to grind out yards and touchdowns. Keyone Jenkins kept the team in the game with timely passing plays and conversions, including two fourth downs. Running back Kejon Owens also averaged over five yards per carry throughout the game, with a long of 21 yards.

Penn State defense shows off its dominant streak Many openly wondered how the team would replace third-overall pick Abdul Carter on the defensive line. Not to be out-shined, senior Dani Dennis-Sutton domianted against the Nevada offensive line. Dennis-Sutton collected one sack, two tackles for loss a pass breakup, a QB hit and forced two fumbles in a dominant performance to start the year. Nevada was able to keep the game somewhat respectable through the first half, largely thanks to the legs of quarterback Chubba Purdy. Purdy rushed 14 times for 55 yards including an explosive run that resulted in a redzone trip and a field goal early. However, Penn State's stingy coverage unit gave up little through the air with Purdy staying under 100 yards passing until late in the fourth quarter when the second string entered the game. Offense plays efficient game Senior quarterback Drew Allar wasn't flashy, but he was ultra-efficient in his day under center. He finished 22-26 for 217 yards and a touchdown in the win. His 85% completion percentage was one of his career highs, and Allar looked calm under pressure, delivering a touchdown strike to Kyron Hudson while rolling to his right in the second quarter. Of course, the biggest development was the team's passing game going through its wide receivers in the team's win. Trebor Pena caught seven passes on eight targets for 74 yards, and former USC Trojan Kyron Hudson caught six passes for 89 yards and a touchdown on the day. Late in the game, backup quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer shone on his fourth-quarter drive, going 4-6 with a beautiful strike to Khalil DInkins for 24 yards. He ended the drive with a six-yard touchdown scramble. BWI Postgame coverage Follow BWI's postgame coverage after the game.

While there are still loose ends in the Class of 2026, the team will focus heavily on 2027 to get a jump on the recruiting process for the next cycle. While we're in the middle of a two-month dead period, Ryan Snyder has been working ahead to secure the names of players who plan to attend Penn State in the fall. He's also been interviewing players to get to know their stories ahead of the mad dash to January. Join the BWI Live Show as we discuss those topics, plus the major news that Penn State missed out on its quarterback target of choice for 2027, Peter Bourque, this week. The BWI Live show airs at 10 a.m. on YouTube. You can join us to discuss your Penn State football recruiting thoughts and opinions by joining the live chat during the show. If you can't make the show live, you can always catch the show on replay in the channel, here in this article, or anywhere you get your podcasts. Penn State loses out in 2027 QB Dominoes Penn State Class of 2027 target Peter Bourque was a regular in Happy Valley over the last two summers. The New England native attended several camps and was clearly the team's top quarterback target for the upcoming cycle. It was a recruitment that most Penn State fans should have felt good about. Then, suddenly, Bourque committed to Michigan earlier this week. Or, at least that's how it felt. We'll discuss the situation with Snyder and what his read of Penn State's most recent QB recruiting loss means for the program. Where does the team turn next? We'll dive into the dominoes that are now falling for the top remaining targets for the next cycle. Also, after trying to recruit two quarterbacks for the last two cycles, can the team rebound and find two passers to join the ranks of the Nittany Lions signal callers? Penn State recruit and commit stories Snyder has spent the last several weeks getting in touch with recruits to get to know them and their plans for the fall better. We'll outline several of his conversations, including how the unlikely pair of PA safety Matt Seig and California QB Troy Huhn bonded in the Class of 2026. Finally, we'll preview the upcoming fall football season for the rising seniors and discuss which players Snyder thinks have the best chance of rising up the recruiting rankings to make Penn State's profile for this cycle look better than it currently is.
