The Penn State football recruiting staff has experienced some turbulence and drama over the last week or so. The team’s quarterback commitment flipped, kicking off the search for its next commit.

We’re covering the latest news on all of those fronts and more, plus we’re previewing the team’s matchup with Purdue.  0:00 Penn State beats Purdue 31-17 and flips the run game9:33 Cam Wallace and the gap-scheme runs14:07 Passing game concerns without Koby Howard and Chase Sowell19:27 Defensive player of the game and a dominant secondary28:46 Eben McDaniel emerges at corner34:50 Run defense, Purdue's offense and a Washington preview42:09 Attendance, Halloween and the stakes of the season46:24 Matt Campbell goes aggressive, plus the soft schedule50:57 Purdue's run game, the RB rotation and special teams56:33 Ben Bremer and the passing game debate1:01:29 Wrap-up and what's next  Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqK   Check out the site too! - https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/?utm_source=publisher&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=subscriber_referral&ref=418462   Get 20% off and free shipping at Fanatics with our affiliate link: https://fanatics.93n6tx.net/OeZg2z   Use Code BWI20 to get 20 percent off Rhoback’s Gameday Collection: https://rhoback.com/collections/pennsylvania-state-university-licensed-collection   Want breaking news like this delivered straight to your inbox for FREE?

Penn State lost 21-18 at Michigan, and the morning-after conversation is heated. Thomas Frank, Nate Bauer and Sean Fitz recap the game. They debate how much of the loss belongs to Rocco Becht, and whether an offense that can’t run the football asks too much of its quarterback. They also cover the defense’s struggles in sudden-change situations and the long Michigan touchdown runs, and ask whether this roster simply lacks the talent and clutch plays to win close Big Ten games.   Chapters 0:00 Sunday Recap: Penn State’s 21-18 Loss at Michigan 0:35 Fitz: Another Ugly Loss With No Room for Error 2:16 Nate Softens on Rocco Becht 5:04 Fitz on Becht’s Lapses in Critical Moments 7:11 Nate: 74 Plays and Too Much on the Quarterback 11:32 Game Flow, Run-Pass Numbers and Becht’s Regression 13:54 Nate: Why Penn State Won’t Change Quarterbacks 17:05 Antifragile Brewing Company 18:36 The Defense: Sudden Change and the Long Touchdown Runs 25:09 Nate on the Defense and Michigan’s Explosive Runs 27:29 Does Penn State Have a Clutch Gene?

It was another Big Ten slugfest for Penn State football, and once again, Penn State didn’t execute well enough to get the win. The Nittany Lions fell to Michigan after a 14-point third-quarter surge by the Wolverines put the game out of reach for the struggling Penn State offense. Starting quarterback Rocco Becht threw two costly interceptions that led to two Michigan touchdowns. The team is now 3-4 and heads into its bye week to lick its wounds.

The Penn State football team felt like it was in the game for most of the night. However, that feeling vanished in the fourth quarter as the team lost to USC 31-23 in front of a sold-out White Out crowd. Today, the team is searching for answers as fans demand accountability, and the team sits at 3-3. We’ll try to explain what happened on Saturday during today’s BWI Live Show. We’ll discuss the offense's tweaks to the run game this week that led to more positive runs. We’ll also discuss how the left side of the offensive line remains a major problem. On defense, we’ll explain how the team tried to throw the kitchen sink at USC QB Jayden Maiava, but it didn’t work in their favor. Finally, we’ll offer a few things the team can try moving forward on both sides of the ball.  00:00 – Setting Up the Big Picture and Reviewing the Run Game Fix08:40 – The Passing Game: Deep Shots, USC’s Adjustments, and Missed Assignments13:25 – Rocco Beckett’s Decline and the Plays That Lost the Game21:04 – Clock Management Critique and What Can Change on the O-Line28:54 – Kobe Howard’s Return and the Case for a Possible QB Change34:51 – Sponsor Break and Coaching Search Chat38:51 – The Defensive Dilemma: Pass Rush Problems and the Drop-Eight Game Plan45:36 – Secondary Personnel Decisions and USC’s Second-Half Attack on the Linebackers52:28 – What Are the Defense’s Options Moving Forward?57:27 – Looking Ahead to Michigan1:01:33 – Kobe Howard’s Injury Status and Closing Thoughts  Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqK   Check out the site too! - https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/?utm_source=publisher&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=subscriber_referral&ref=418462   Get 20% off and free shipping at Fanatics with our affiliate link: https://fanatics.93n6tx.net/OeZg2z   Use Code BWI20 to get 20 percent off Rhoback’s Gameday Collection: https://rhoback.com/collections/pennsylvania-state-university-licensed-collection   Want breaking news like this delivered straight to your inbox for FREE?
