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?

Thomas Frank Carr is joined by Nate Bauer and Sean Fitz for the Sunday Recap show, breaking down Penn State’s 31-23 loss to USC and what it means now that the Nittany Lions sit 0-3 in Big Ten play, 3-3 overall. The crew discusses the third-quarter field goals that proved to be the difference, Matt Campbell’s aggressive fourth-down decision-making, the defense’s ongoing pass-rush and coverage issues, and Jayden Maiava’s big night for USC. They also tackle the bigger-picture questions facing the program, including accountability for athletic director Pat Kraft, what Matt Campbell needs going forward, and how next year’s roster needs and budget pressures factor into the rebuild.

The team put up a valiant effort, showing growth on offense but failed to contain Jayden Maiava and the USC passing attack, ultimately falling behind in the fourth quarter.

The Penn State Nittany Lions football team lost another game, and this time in shocking fashion. The fallout from its 34-13 loss to Northwestern on Friday night is still reverberating through the team’s fan base. Today on the BWI Live Show, we’re going to discuss what happened in the loss. We’ll break down what Penn State tried to fix on offense, the pivots they made, and what the team can do next. We’ll also discuss the defense’s historically bad night and why it happened. We’ll also discuss the team’s defensive changes after the loss to Wisconsin and how, generally, the team can only change so much on either side of the ball.    If you want to check out the film review recaps that this show is based on, check out the links below.    Passing Game Film analysis: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/news/penn-states-rocco-becht-has-a-confidence-problem-thats-impossible-to-ignore/   Run game film analysis: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/news/theres-no-one-fix-but-penn-states-run-game-problems-trace-back-to-the-left-side-of-the-line/   Defensive run game analysis: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/news/heres-how-chip-kelly-broke-the-penn-state-defense-can-other-teams-replicate-it/   Anne Lusk State College office: https://annelusk.com/area-info/state-college/   0:00 – Intro & What's Coming This Week 1:30 – Breaking Down Penn State's Passing Game Changes vs. Northwestern 8:41 – Koby Howard Update & the Malachi Goodman "Tipping" Theory 13:13 – Malachi Goodman and Penn State's Run-Blocking Problems 19:07 – Grading the Rest of the Offensive Line 23:16 – Fixing the Offense: Formations, Play-Calling and Receiver Chemistry 31:30 – Viewer Questions: Anticipation Throws and Rocco Becht's Process 36:06 – Penn State's Run Defense Collapse: What Chip Kelly Exposed 41:19 – Defensive Tackle Identity, Blitz Packages and Missed Tackles 52:41 – Previewing Penn State's Defense vs. USC 59:43 – Previewing the Offense vs. USC & Viewer Questions on Rocco Becht's Legs   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?

A day after Penn State's 34-13 blowout loss at Northwestern, we're trying to make sense of a team that keeps finding new things to break each week.   Nate Bauer and Sean Fitz join to break down a defense that allowed 413 rushing yards against an offense that entered the night ranked 92nd nationally in rushing, linebacker play that fell apart without Cam Smith available at Mike, and whether Caleb Bacon or Alex Tatsch should slide into that role going forward. We debate whether Penn State's roster-building strategy — built heavily around Iowa State transfers brought in under serious time constraints — set the program up for this stretch, and dig into Rocco Becht's continued struggles and Matt Campbell's public loyalty to him.   We also look at the stunning numbers, including ESPN's FPI still projecting Penn State for eight wins, and discuss what's really at stake with USC and Michigan both looming on the schedule.   0:00 – Intro: Searching for Answers a Day After the Loss 3:06 – Why Does Something New Keep Breaking Every Week? 8:32 – Questioning the Roster-Building Strategy & Portal Priorities 15:20 – Linebacker Play Collapses: Cooper Ebel & the Mike Spot 19:51 – Debating Who Should Play Mike Linebacker 23:34 – Stunning Stats: Northwestern's Rushing Jump & FPI Still Projects 8 Wins 25:34 – Rocco Becht's Fall & Campbell's Loyalty to Him 28:06 – Is This Team Actually Talented Enough? 29:49 – Nate's Big-Picture Take: A Reckoning & What's at Stake vs. USC   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?

The game between Penn State and Northwestern wasn’t particularly close but not in the way that most thought. The Nittany Lions looked lifeless against Northwestern in the team’s opening of Ryan Field and lost in stunning fashion. We’re discussing what the Wildcat offense did to put up over 300 rushing yards against the Penn State defense, and why the Penn State offense is again struggling to run the ball or play with any rhythm.

The Penn State football team built an early lead but couldn't finish, losing to Wisconsin 24-20 and starting the conference season with a thud. For some fans, that's enough. But for others who want to dig deeper into why the team fell from such a high after the non-conference season, we have your answers. Today on the BWI Live show, we’re recapping Penn State's offensive and defensive performances after the loss to explain what happened. We’ll break down the changes that made the offense implode, and we’ll discuss how the defense gave up explosive passing plays to the Wisconsin offense.    Join the BWI Live Show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube.

A day after Penn State's first loss of the season, we're digging into how a 17-point lead against Wisconsin slipped away.   We break down Matt Campbell's postgame comments defending Rocco Becht, debate whether this was a talent problem or a coaching and play-calling problem, and dig into the offensive line's struggles up front. We discuss why playmakers like Ben Bramer and Andrew Rapley barely saw the ball, break down Marcus Neal's coverage limitations in the secondary, and debate whether D'Anton Lynn should be blitzing him instead of leaving him in single coverage. We close by looking ahead to a short week before Northwestern, what empty seats at Beaver Stadium signal about fan buy-in, and what Matt Campbell's tenure actually needs to prove from here.   0:00 – Processing the Loss: How Does a 17-Point Lead Disappear? 4:23 – Debating Matt Campbell's Postgame Comments on Rocco Becht 9:21 – Is This a Talent Problem or a Coaching Problem? 15:02 – Offensive Line Breakdown: Was the Run Blocking the Real Issue? 19:01 – Why Penn State Couldn't Get the Ball to Its Playmakers 22:33 – Defensive Review: Marcus Neal's Coverage Limitations Exposed 26:42 – Should Denton Lynn Blitz Marcus Neal Instead of Covering With Him? 30:48 – Looking Ahead: Is Northwestern a Letdown Spot or a Rebound Opportunity? 41:55 – Empty Seats & What They Signal About the Program's Buy-In 44:03 – Final Thoughts: What Matt Campbell's Tenure Actually Needs to Prove   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?
