The No. 1 Nittany Lions are set to take on No. 2 Iowa night on Friday night at the Bryce Jordan Center. That, unsurprisingly, headlines much of this week's episode. First, though, host Thomas Frank Carr and reporter Greg Pickel start the show by recapping the Rutgers match. The Nittany Lions won nine of 10 bouts in a 35-3 win over the Scarlet Knights. It marked their 65th consecutive dual meet victory.From there, the conversation turns to the fifth-ever top-two meeting between the Hawkeyes and Nittany Lions. Iowa won the first two as the No. 1 ranked team in the country. Penn State won the second two with the same ranking. Who will win on Friday night? We discuss the top bouts of the night, predictions, and key storylines to close out this week's episode.

On today's show, we'll review the final numbers on the transfer portal for the Nittany Lions. The team officially announced the additions earlier this month, and all but one of its existing players have chosen a new home. Join the BWI Live Show to discuss what the roster looks like on the other side of those moves. Reporter Greg Pickel joins the show to take you through the team's strongest and weakest positions as we reset the Penn State roster for 2025. We'll also dive deeper into the team's transition to defense under new coordinator Jim Knowles and what changes he could bring to the team for the coming season. Penn State roster reset Of course, the main story for all Penn State fans is about new defensive coordinator Jim Knowles. The program released a clip of Knowles addressing the team on social media yesterday, and Pickel will discuss the news surrounding it. From there, we'll transition to the other additions and subtractions from the roster this offseason. Former Penn State safety Tyrece Mills announced his new college destination this week. With that, only one former player in the portal has yet to find a home for the upcoming season.Next, we'll review the announcement from the program last week about the team's newest members. Penn State announced new weights for the incoming transfers, some of which raised eyebrows about the jumps in size from their previously listed size measurements. We'll discuss what that could mean for the team's needs this fall. Strengths and weaknessesWhile there's still time for players to arrive and leave in the spring portal window - and you can never count out a lawsuit against the NCAA - we're considering the roster set for the upcoming semester. Which positions look the strongest on paper? We'll review where the team can build its identity during spring football. Next, we'll look at the positions that need to be developed and take a step toward Penn State finding balance and a well-rounded attack next season. Jim Knowles's defensive breakdownFinally, we'll use the final show segment to discuss what we've learned at Blue White Illustrated about Knowles's defense and what changes he might bring to the program. After studying his defense at Ohio State, listening to virtual clinics, and reading into the data, we've got an early sketch of some differences in how the new head man on defense operates. #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 Roster Reset: Looking at Positional Strengths for 2025 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Head coach James Franklin sent shockwaves through the sport this week by hiring defensive coordinator Jim Knowles away from the Ohio State Buckeyes just days after Knowles won a championship with his former team. That story will dominate our conversation, much like the rest of college football on today's BWI Live Show. However, that won't be the only thing we discuss because there's always something brewing with the Lions. Join us for an hour of Penn State football talk that includes a recruiting update, a breakdown of the latest commit with the program, and your questions on the BWI Mailbag.Penn State is just days away from the unofficial start of the 2025 season in February.

Penn State's march towards another college football playoff run starts now! What Knowles means to the larger picture around Penn StateMost Penn State fans know the details surrounding Knowles' move from Columbus to Happy Valley by this point. So today, we'll discuss the larger impact of Franklin's move to make Knowles the highest-paid coordinator in college football. We'll discuss the team's efforts to join the elites in the sport and why Knowles' impact goes beyond what he can do on the field as a coordiantor. However, that last part is also important, so we'll discuss what changes you might see to the Penn State defensive personality and the team's approach to different aspects of the game. Fitz's recruiting UpdatePenn State also got a new commitment this weekend amid the flurry of activity off the field. New Jersey cornerback Julian Peterson committed to the program on Saturday evening in an under-the-radar signing by the Nittany Lions to get the defensive secondary on the board in the Class of 2026.

Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqKCheck out the site too! - https://bit.ly/3u8dilDWe're in the "Way Too Early" portion of the 2025 season when media pundits are clamoring to be the first to a take for the upcoming year. One of the early storylines for Penn State football is that they're a top team contending for the National Championship and quarterback Drew Allar is again in the conversation for a Heisman. But how realistic is any of that? Today on the BWI Live Show, we discuss the factors that would lead Penn State to another deep playoff run and a chance at a Championship in 2025. Join the show at 10 a.m. to get your thoughts on those subjects, plus join the BWI Mailbag portion, back from its postseason hiatus. As always, the best way to know when we go live and post breaking news, or other great content is to subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel and enable notifications. Allar for Heisman? The early odds for the Heisman winner in 2025 are out, and Drew Allar has the fourth-best odds of any player in college football. Is that realistic? We discuss what it takes to win the award and how the Penn State offense can help or hold Allar back. The Nittany Lions need Allar to take the next step and become the best version of himself next year, but does that correlate to postseason awards? We'll discuss the tactical ways that can happen and what the most realistic outcome is as we sit in January. Next, we'll discuss the biggest questions for the Penn State offense and defense, which was part of Greg Pickel's "Four Thoughts" from yesterday. Does Penn State have enough NFL talent to win a championship?We'll continue our theme of Penn State's path to a National Championship by discussing a tweet from Senior Bowl director Jim Nagy. In a social media post on Tuesday, Nagy claimed that it takes NFL talent to win a championship in college football. He posted the last six winners of the CFP and the number of NFL Draft picks they had in that year's draft. Where does Penn State stand with potential draft talent for 2026? We'll look at that and examine this article from yesterday about how many players the Lions may realistically send to the NFL after next season.

We opened the weekly thread Wednesday morning and are featuring the best questions from the BWI message board to end the show. However, we'll answer your questions live on the show!

Penn State dominates the trenches but gives up big playsPenn State's offense got the ball rolling early by generating chunk plays on the ground. The team had 194 yards of offense in the first half and 141 of those came on the ground. The Lions put together two long scoring drives to control the flow. However, the star of the game in the trenches was injured star Abdul Carter. The pass rusher lined up opposite of his normal position to play with his good shoulder to the inside of the line. He tallied a sack and two TFLs in the first half. But it wasn't enough. The Penn State offense went silent in the third quarter, with just 25 total yards to Notre Dame's 128. Notre Dame took the lead in the early fourth quarter with a Jerimiyah Love scoring from inside the five yard line. Penn State bounced back with a scoring drive of its own, but the Irish continued to churn yards on the ground and mix in passes from quarterback Riley Leonard. Despite two interceptions, Leonard threw a touchdown over Cam Miller, who fell over in coverage, allowing a late fourth-quarter score and a field goal drive to lose the game after the Penn State offense went three and out with four minutes left. Postgame contentAfter the show, stay put for Penn State head coach James Franklin's postgame press conference. The Nittany Lions leader will address the media following the loss. We'll also have a report from field level from Nate Bauer, Sean Fitz and Greg Pickel, who are at the game.

Penn State's best player's status up in the air Penn State head coach James Franklin provided some insight into Abdul Carter's status heading into the game against Notre Dame after suffering an upper body injury against Boise State last week. "At this point, I don't think there's anything that is stopping him from playing. But it's just -- it's going to come down to, you know, how is he able to play," Franklin said.

Penn State runs over Boise State defenseAfter the game, Penn State head coach James Franklin expounded on how his running backs played when asked what made them so gret. "That's Kaytron. Kaytron breaks tackles. He runs people over. He's a physical, physical back. Nick, obviously, if you give him a crease, he has got a chance to go 80 at any minute. So, they're really good complementary backs. They've been playing together for a long time. When we're able to get the outside zone going like we were able to do today, kind of opens everything else up and gets people running sideline to sideline, which creates creases," Franklin said. We'll discuss the outcome of Penn State's win, and what happened on offense to slow down the team's hot start. Defense dominates Next, we'll discuss the team's defensive performance which kept superstar running back Ashton Jeanty. We'll discuss the ways that Penn State went about putting an emphasis on stopping Jenaty and how effective it was. We'll also discuss what the team gave up to do so. Quarterback Maddux Madsen threw for over 300 yards in the game and kept the Boise State offense churning plays and drives. Mixed into all of that is the injury to Abdul Carter. How did that affect the game plan, and what will happen next for the Nittany Lions? We'll discuss the somewhat dire situation on the defensive line with the depth heading into a showdown against two teams with strong running games.

Penn State gets the job doneIt wasn't perfect, but Penn State dominated Boise State in enough facets of the game to get the win. The Lions did what most thought was impossible and kept Ashton Jeanty contained for the entirety of the Fiesta Bowl. The superstar tailback managed only 96 yards on 24 carries before Penn State put the game out of reach in the fourth quarter. The team did it without star linebacker Abdul Carter, who went down with a shoulder injury in the first quarter and did not return. Overall, the team racked up eight tackles for loss to keep Jeanty contained before he got going.Offensively, Penn State used another strong game from Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton to power the win. Allen was his typical gritty self, grinding out 15 carries for 131 yards. Singleton contributed a 58-yard touchdown to seal the game.

Penn State takes care of SMU by forcing mistakesIn the Big Ten Championship game, Penn State was the team that made mistakes and turned the ball over. The script flipped on Saturday in the win over SMU. The defense forced three first-half turnovers on interceptions of Kevin Jennings, two of which were returned for touchdowns. Linebackers Dom DeLuca and Tony Rojas fueled a 28-0 first-half surge from the Nittany Lions that put the game out of reach. The Penn State offense had another sluggish and uneven performance. However, they did enough to complement the defense in the win. The ground game got going with a 25-yard touchdown run by Kaytron Allen in the first half. Overall, it was still a quiet day for the running backs, who failed to crack 100 yards on the day. More postgame contentJoin us for more reaction from Beaver Stadium after the win.

Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqKCheck out the site too! - https://bit.ly/3u8dilDThe Penn State Nittany Lions Football team is dealing with multiple layers of college football simultaneously. Sunday evening, backup quarterback and offensive contributor Beau Pribula announced that he would transfer and leave the program. The next morning, starter Drew Allar announced his decision to return. All of this is playing out in the roster-building portion of the calendar while Penn State is still playing. Head coach James Franklin addressed all of these ideas during his Monday press confernece ahead of the team's playoff game against SMU. We'll discuss what Franklin said yesterday, give a preview of the transfer portal work the team is doing, plus preview the upcoming game against the Mustangs on the BWI Live Show today at 10 a.m. Join the show live or catch the replay embedded below, on the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel, or wherever you get your podcasts. Franklin calls for a massive change to college football. Yesterday, Franklin discussed the issues that led to Pribula's decision to transfer. The third-year passer wanted to stay with the program but couldn't manage the responsibilities on his plate. Franklin described it as a "no-win" situation and called for a change to the way the sport is run. "Beau should not be put in this position. Whether we don't play as many games during the season, whether we don't play conference championship games -- which could equal things out for teams not playing them anyway, finish this season so it aligns more with the academic calendar for most institutions because that's part of this pressure as well," Franklin said. To have a transfer portal/free agency going on right in the middle of the playoffs, there's just a lot of things that don't really make sense.I know there's been a lot of discussions about maybe a commissioner of college football, but I think it's pretty obvious we need that. We need somebody running college football."Transfer portal activity Penn State has hosted several transfer portal targets for the upcoming season. The team gained its first commitment on Monday evening when USC wide receiver Kyron Hudson joined the program for the 2025 season. We'll discuss Hudson's impact on the roster and his ability to make a dent in the team's receiver room next year. We'll also discuss the latest in Penn State recruiting during Fitz's recruiting update and give a preview of the game against SMU to close the show.

Penn State retains major piece for the playoff and beyondThe Penn State coaching staff retained a key part of its makeup on Monday evening when offensive coordiantor Andy Kotelnicki announced that he was staying with the program. West Virginia was reportedly after the first-year coordinator in recent days. We'll discuss the impact of having Kotelnicki stay with the program for the postseason run and beyond. We'll also discuss the possibility of Penn State keeping quarterback Drew Allar and Kotelnicki together for one more season. Reporters Sean Fitz and Nate Bauer will discuss what they know of the situation as it unfolded and what you should expect from coordinators who find success, such as Kotelnicki. Fitz's recruiting updateFriday was a busy day for the Nittany Lions. Even before the team kicked off against Oregon on Saturday, the team secured several wins over the weekend. Andrew Olesh, a four-star tight end and top player in Pennsylvania, chose Penn State on Friday afternoon. What does it mean for the program to flip the top player in the state from rival Michigan? Fitz will also discuss the impact of 2026 wide receiver Jerquaden Guilford, who also committed on Friday. Finally, there's one outstanding commitment left in the Class of 2025. Quarterback Bryce Baker has yet to make a decision on his future, with North Carolina delaying its decision on a new head coach. Fitz will discuss the impact of the delay and its effect on Penn State's chances to land the Elite 11 finalist. Penn State vs Oregon RecapWhile it's nearly old news with all of the events that have happened since Saturday night, it's still important to look back at Penn State's performance in the Big Ten Championship game against Oregon. We'll discuss what we can and can't take away from the game when discussing how the offense and defense performed against the number one team in the country. Finally, we'll discuss the other news coming out of this past weekend including the transfer portal opening on Monday and fans finding out the fate of several key players for the postseason.

Check out athletictravel.com to book your reservation for the potential trip!On Sunday afternoon, the Penn State Nittany Lions football team discovered its destiny in the College Football Playoff. The committee rewarded the team's Big Ten schedule and its close losses to Ohio State and Oregon with the sixth seed in the playoff bracket. Penn State fell only one spot after losing in the Big Ten Championship game to fourth in the overall playoff rankings. With the conference champions getting byes into the first round, Penn State was the second non-conference champion in the playoff, behind Texas in the fifth spot. Join the Penn State Football Playoff Seeding Reaction Show as we discuss the team's first-round matchup against the 11th-seeded SM Mustangs, who beat out Alabama for the final spot in the playoff bracket. Blue White Illustrated experts Sean Fitz and Nate Bauer join the show live from Indianapolis to discuss how the playoff committee handled the playoff bracket, their thoughts about Penn State's matchup with SMU, and the team's overall chances of making a run at a national championship. Check out the show on our YouTube Channel, embedded on the site, or wherever you get your podcasts. Did Penn State get the best possible path?As Bauer pointed out during the run-up to conference championship weekend, the biggest debate around college football would be about penalizing participation in those games. Penn State was not penalized for losing to the top-ranked team. ESPN's Reece Davis asked Playoff Committee Chairman Ward Manuel about just how fair it was for Oregon and Penn State to get drastically different paths foward. "It turns out, the way things have fallen, it might be the six seed instead that is deemed more advantageous. Oregon, the only undefeated team in the country. You guys have deemed them the best team in this playoff. They are the Big Ten champions, and they just beat Penn State. And then when you look at their quarter-final game against either Ohio State or Tennessee, it might be that the ducks have a more disadvantageous road than the six-seed Penn State does in taking on an SMU team that barely made it in, and Boise State, who is not quite as highly ranked."Manuel deferred answering the question, saying that it was his committee's job to rank the top 25 teams in the country. From there, the rules of automatic byes in the playoffs changed the picture for teams in the field. But it stands to reason that Penn State's path is favorable. We discuss those notions on the show as well. What we know about SMU From there, we discuss what we know about the first-round matchup with SMU, which will be held at Beaver Stadium on Dec. 21st. We give you a quick preview of the players you need to know and how the team has played so far this season. #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_confirmationGet the 2024 Penn State Football Preview Magazine at https://bit.ly/PSU24PreviewBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters: https://bluewhiteonline.com Download our podcasts: https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/LRL3155877513?selected=DSVV2664982394Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3Sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Penn State doesn't get it done vs. Top Five Team Penn State's defense could not have gotten off to a worse start against Oregon. The Nittany Lions' normally stout front was gashed on the first two drives as Oregon rushed out to an explosive lead. Oregon's speed was too much for the team as they got their explosive athletes into space and raced out to 31 points in the first half, including an 11-point lead early in the second quarter. But from there, the Penn State offense came roaring back. Unlike previous big games, the offense was the side of the football that held the line for the Nittany Lions, going toe-to-toe with the Ducks and scoring 24 points before halftime. However, Oregon's explosiveness was too much for the Penn State defense. The Ducks passing attack went off with electric slot receiver Tez Johnson going for 181 yards in the game. Allar threw an interception with under two minutes left in the game to seal the game for the Ducks.What's next for the Nittany Lions? Penn State will await its fate on Sunday afternoon to find out its seeding in the first round of the inaugural 12-team playoff. Before then, hear what head coach James Franklin had to say about the game during his postgame press conference. Check that out by following the show on the BWI YouTube Channel.

Penn State handles Maryland The start of the game could not have gone worse for Penn State, coming off the news that Ohio State lost to Michigan, opening a path to the Big Ten Championship Game. Running back Nick Singleton fumbled the opening snap on offense, which set up a 25-yard touchdown pass to Kaden Prather for the Maryland offense. It took a few more drives to get the offensive rhythm together, but Penn State eventually put up 31 points on Maryland in the first half, fueled by 28 in the second quarter. Part of Penn State's success came down to terrible mistakes from the Terps and great field position, thanks to defensive turnovers. The defense, led by Abdul Carter, secured three sacks and two turnovers, leading to the turnaround. The team failed to secure more distance through the third quarter, but the defense held Maryland down with just 27 yards of total offense. The Penn State offense scored in the early fourth quarter to end its day before the backups came in for good. Next up for the Nittany Lions Penn State will now await the fate of the College Football Playoff selection committee next Sunday, Dec. 8. The selection show starts at noon and will reveal the 12-team playoff bracket and matchups for the first round.

Penn State gets the job done despite sloppy startThe Penn State team played an uncharacteristically sloppy game in the first half against Minnesota. The team had a blocked punt and extra point in the closing minutes of the first half, leading to nine points in the final two minutes. The offense struggled to run the ball, gaining just 19 positive yards in the first half on the ground. In turn, quarterback Drew Allar did most of the heavy lifting, passing for 159 yards in the first half and running it in from four yards out of a score that put Penn State within one before reserve defensive tackle Kale Artis allowed the extra point to be blocked and returned for a touchdown. The defense put together more of its third-quarter magic. After an opening drive for a field goal, the Lions forced back-to-back three-and-outs, allowing the offense the breathing room for a touchdown drive to go ahead with the lead in the fourth quarter. After a close call on the second drive of the fourth quarter, the Penn State defense held at the goal line to force a field goal that cut the lead from four to one. Penn State's offense iced the game after that with a scoring drive. More great postgame contentWant more postgame conversation from Blue White Illustrated?

Penn State dominates bottom-dweller in the Big Ten Penn State raced out to a 21-3 lead over Purdue in the first half of the game, powered by two efficient and effective drives to start the game. Penn State quarterback Drew Allar went 10-10 for 116 yards and a touchdown to start things off while the team averaged 6.4 yards per carry in the first half. However, two stalled three-and-out drives stymied the scoring fest heading into halftime. But unlike last week against Washington, Penn State's offense didn't blink after halftime. The offense scored three times in the third quarter including two explosive runs from Tyler Warren and Beau Pribula and a 46-yard touchdown pass from Allar to Trey Wallace to end the day for the starting offense. Warren was once again the star of the game for the Nittany Lions. The Penn State tight end caught all eight of his targets for 127 yards and a touchdown. He also added in 63 yards and a score on the ground, bringing his game total to 190 yards and two touchdowns. Abdul Carter does it againIt wasn't a perfect night from the Penn State defense, but it was close. The backup linebackers and secondary entered the game with a 21-3 lead but gave up a field goal scoring drive in the second quarter. Beyond that, it was a long day, once again, for this 1-9 Purdue team. Abdul Carter was once again the star on defense, racking up five tackles, two tackles for loss, and multiple quick pressures that ended plays for Purdue. More game day content Be sure to stick around after the postgame show to hear from head coach James Franklin. We'll have the Nittany Lion leader's postgame press conference after he's done speaking with the media following the win.

Penn State climbs in the College Football Playoff RankingsThe Nittany Lions got a good draw this week in the College Football Playoff rankings. Penn State rose to the number four slot after several ranked teams lost last weekend in conference play. What does that mean for the team's chances in the playoffs?

What are we looking for this week, and what do we want to learn from Penn State head coach James Franklin after practice? We'll preview tonight's action. Penn State snap countsOne of the notable trends this year is that for a team ranked in the top five of the college football world, Penn State does not have many blowout wins. Yes, they've won several games by multiple scores, but the team has yet to put away lesser talent early. While we won't get into all of the reasons why, we will discuss the impact of those longer games on the defensive roster. Who has played too many snaps this year and thus, needs a break?

Was that the most complete half of football that the team has played? We'll discuss. Fitz's Recruiting UpdateNext, we'll discuss what happened off the field for the Penn State Football team.

Between The LinesPenn State head coach James Franklin spoke with the media on Monday to kick off the team's final road game stretch, starting with Purdue this coming weekend. As is the case when facing a 1-8 team, very few of the questions and answers were about the Boilermakers. Today, we'll focus on the things Franklin said about redshirts, facilities and Hakeem BeamonOn how the team handles redshirts in the final three games:"The way we look at the green/yellow/red. Green, you're trying to burn. Yellow, you're trying to hold the redshirt if you can. And red is a guy that's most likely going to redshirt. And all those things can changed based on injury.What I'm saying is we manage this that we now should be at this stage, a lot of these guys be able to play and still be able to keep their redshirt."Penn State Facilities Well, what I will say is, number one, I'm appreciative of all the work that's gone in over our 11 years. One of the things I'd like to show you guys at some point is we've taken before-and-after pictures of everything, and I think back all the way to standing on that turf practice field and my back was up against the fence and you guys were asking me questions -- a lot of the same people in the room were asking me questions about facilities. And that was a battle when I first got here.Beamon"He's no longer a part of the program. I love Hakeem. Love his mom. It's been probably over seven years from the high school recruiting process and ups and downs and twists and turns and smiles and tears and everything in between. Graduating from Penn State, we're very, very proud of that for him and did a bunch of good things on the field. But he's no longer a part of the team."BWI MailbagFinally, we'll end the show with questions from viewers and members of the Blue White Illustrated message board.

Lions get a big win on a big stage Penn State took out it's loss to Ohio State on Washington, racing out to a 28-0 lead in the first half of the White Out. Quarterback Drew Allar was 14-18 for 140 yards, including 56 yards to wide receiver Trey Wallance. Tight end Tyler Warren wasn't invisible at the goal line this time; the 260-pound tight end went vertical from the three-yard line to score a touchdown and added another second in the first half. The scoring slowed down in the second half, with a fumble from Warren on a promising drive to start the third quarter. That led to a field goal from Washington, who benched starter Will Rogers at halftime in favor of the more mobile backup Demond Williams Jr. While Williams Jr. did give the Huskies more breathing room in the run game, he was sacked multiple times in the second half, leading to only six points before Penn State ended the game with a scoring drive in the fourth quarter. Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter was the player of the night on defense, finally getting his breakout game. He had four tackles for loss and two sacks, plus a forced fumble. Next up for Penn State and postgame coveragePenn State is now 8-1 on the season after the win, with a road trip to West Lafayette to face Purdue next weekend.
