Locked On Nittany Lions - Daily Podcast On Penn State Nittany Lions Football & Wrestling

Penn State’s 34-13 loss to Northwestern wasn’t just another disappointing result. The Nittany Lions were outplayed physically, outrushed 413-48 and looked unprepared in virtually every phase of the game. Zach Seyko reacts to a stunning performance and breaks down where the blame belongs between Matt Campbell, Pat Kraft, Taylor Mouser, D’Anton Lynn, Rocco Becht and the Penn State roster. How much of this is coaching? How much falls on execution? And after Becht missed several opportunities against Northwestern, should Alex Manske have gotten an opportunity late? Plus, why Tony Rojas was one of the very few Penn State positives and what this performance means with USC and Michigan still ahead.

Penn State just finished another deeply frustrating performance against Northwestern, and we’re going LIVE immediately after the game to break down everything that went wrong. The Nittany Lions entered this matchup needing a response. Instead, the offense looked disjointed, the execution was inconsistent, and Penn State once again found itself in a game that was much uglier than it ever should have been. What happened to the offense? Why did Penn State struggle to consistently move the football? Did the defense do enough? What decisions from Matt Campbell and the coaching staff deserve scrutiny? And most importantly — what does this performance mean for Penn State moving forward?

Penn State's matchup with Northwestern suddenly looks a lot more favorable. The Wildcats enter Friday night's game struggling to stop the run, and Northwestern's injury report could make life even easier for James Peoples and the Nittany Lions' offense. Zach Seyko breaks down why Penn State should lean heavily on its ground game, how Aidan Chiles and Chip Kelly can still challenge D'Anton Lynn's defense, and why this still projects as a one-score game. Plus, Penn State continues to pursue five-star running back Kemon Spell despite his commitment to Georgia. Is a flip realistic? And where do the Nittany Lions stand with rising 2027 running back Jordan Hall ahead of his commitment decision? Drop your Penn State-Northwestern score prediction below.

Penn State's loss to Wisconsin changed the conversation around Matt Campbell's first season — but is coaching really the biggest problem? Brian Smith of the Portal Podcast joins Locked On Nittany Lions to explain why he believes Penn State's biggest issue right now is talent, particularly at the offensive skill positions, and why Campbell's rebuild may require multiple recruiting cycles before it can fairly be judged. Zach Seyko and Brian also discuss Koby Howard's importance to the offense, Rocco Becht, Penn State's NIL investment, the comparison to Indiana's rapid turnaround and why the 2028 recruiting class could become a major checkpoint for Campbell's program. How patient should Penn State fans be with the rebuild? Photo credit: IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Become an every-dayer!

Penn State gets a major opportunity to rebound offensively against Northwestern — and the Wildcats' latest injury report only raises the expectations. Zach Seyko breaks down what Northwestern's injuries in the secondary could mean for Rocco Becht, James Peoples and a Penn State offense coming off an ugly performance against Wisconsin. Plus, the latest Penn State availability news surrounding Daryus Dixson and Koby Howard. Then we go position-by-position through Penn State's evolving depth chart, including James Peoples emerging as the clear RB1, a condensed wide receiver rotation, changes along the defensive front and the contingency plan at cornerback if Dixson is limited or unavailable.

Penn State needs a response after blowing a 17-point lead against Wisconsin, but Friday night's matchup with Northwestern could be more dangerous than it looks. Zach Seyko joins Spencer McLaughlin to break down why Penn State's offensive struggles go beyond simply failing to score, how those short possessions eventually hurt the Nittany Lions' defense, and why Aidan Chiles and Northwestern's passing game present a legitimate problem. They also discuss Matt Campbell's lack of adjustments against Wisconsin, Penn State's path to fixing the offense, the short-week turnaround, the opening of the new Ryan Field and why Zach is ultimately picking Northwestern in a close game.

Zach Seyko breaks down five predictions for Penn State vs. Northwestern, including why James Peoples could emerge as the feature running back, why the Nittany Lions' ground game should bounce back, how that could help Rocco Becht and the passing attack, and why Aidan Chiles and Chip Kelly's Northwestern offense could cause serious problems for Penn State's defense. Plus, what role will the new Ryan Field environment play, can Penn State finally finish drives in the red zone, and why does Zach ultimately have Northwestern winning a 24-23 thriller?

Penn State's loss to Wisconsin may have made Friday night's matchup with Northwestern far more dangerous than anyone expected. Zach Seyko and Jacob Goins break down a suddenly chaotic Big Ten after Northwestern pushed Indiana, UCLA and Bob Chesney improved to 4-0, Iowa stunned Michigan on the final play and Nebraska remained unbeaten. But the biggest question for Penn State is what happens next. Can Matt Campbell and the Nittany Lions rebound immediately, or does Northwestern have the quarterback play, physicality and Friday-night environment to make this another uncomfortable game? Plus, what UCLA's rise means for the Big Ten, Oregon's response against USC and the growing pressure at Maryland.

Penn State wrestling's 2026-27 schedule is officially here, but one major opponent is missing: David Taylor and Oklahoma State. Zach Seyko breaks down the full Nittany Lions schedule, including three Bryce Jordan Center duals against West Virginia, Michigan and Iowa, road trips to Oklahoma and Ohio State, the Black Knight Invitational, Journeyman Duals and Penn State's toughest stretch of the season. Plus, why doesn't Cael Sanderson schedule Oklahoma State? Is Penn State's schedule actually too easy, or does the current formula make sense for a program built to peak at the Big Ten and NCAA Championships? Penn State also enters the season riding an 86-dual winning streak and could finish the year at 102 consecutive victories — second-most in college wrestling history. What's the dual you most want to see this season? Photo credit: IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Become an every-dayer!

Does Penn State truly trust Rocco Becht when the game is on the line? After the Nittany Lions' 24-20 loss to Wisconsin, Zach Seyko is joined by Pat Koerbler ( https://x.com/Poerbler ) of Black Shoe Diaries to examine Penn State's conservative offensive approach, Becht's struggles and what Matt Campbell and Taylor Mouser need to change against Northwestern. They also break down why Penn State's offense could rebound Friday night, how Aidan Chiles and Northwestern will challenge D'Anton Lynn's defense, whether Penn State's tight end usage has become too predictable and why the lack of a consistent four-man pass rush could become a major problem. Can Rocco Becht regain the coaching staff's trust? And is Penn State's defense as dominant as the Wisconsin performance suggested? Drop your thoughts in the comments.

Matt Campbell and Taylor Mouser have now explained some of Penn State's biggest decisions in the 24-20 loss to Wisconsin — and the answers raise questions about what happened to the aggressive offense Penn State talked about all offseason. Taylor Mouser discussed why the Nittany Lions became conservative as Rocco Becht and the passing attack struggled to find rhythm. Zach Seyko breaks down why adjusting the game plan made sense, but completely abandoning Penn State's offensive identity did not. Plus, Matt Campbell explained the crucial fourth-down decision that ended with Penn State punting after a timeout. Was Penn State simply managing a difficult game, or did the coaching staff become too concerned with avoiding mistakes? We break down the Wisconsin fallout and what has to change against Northwestern. Subscribe for daily Penn State football coverage.

Penn State's loss to Wisconsin may have revealed something bigger than one awful afternoon. Iowa State fans warned Penn State about the frustrating side of the Matt Campbell experience: conservative decisions, playing down to manageable opponents and games that somehow slip away. After Penn State blew a 17-0 lead at home despite forcing three turnovers, was Wisconsin our first real look at that problem? Plus, Penn State immediately faces a dangerous Northwestern team led by Aidan Chiles and Chip Kelly in the first game at the new Ryan Field. And after what we saw against Wisconsin, James Peoples has earned the opportunity to become Penn State's clear RB1. We break down the Campbell concern, why Northwestern is a legitimate threat and why the running-back rotation needs to change. Photo credit: IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Become an every-dayer!

Penn State's loss to Wisconsin might have exposed something much bigger than one terrible offensive performance. Zach Seyko and Pat Koerbler ( https://x.com/Poerbler ) break down what went wrong for Rocco Becht, Taylor Mouser and the Nittany Lions offense, why the defense deserves far less blame, and whether James Peoples should now emerge as Penn State's clear No. 1 running back. They also examine how Koby Howard's absence changes the entire structure of the offense, whether Penn State's heavy tight-end personnel is helping or hurting the running game, and what needs to change before Northwestern. Plus: the growing debate around Beaver Stadium renovations, rising game-day costs and whether Penn State risks pricing out its everyday fans. How concerned are you about Penn State after Wisconsin?

Penn State blew a 17-0 lead and fell 24-20 to Wisconsin in a stunning Big Ten opener at Beaver Stadium. The defense produced three interceptions—including a pick-six—but the Nittany Lions offense couldn't consistently move the football or protect the lead. Zach Seyko and Zane Brancefield break down what went wrong with Rocco Becht, Taylor Mouser and the Penn State rushing attack, why Koby Howard's absence appeared to change the entire offense, and whether the running-back committee has run its course. James Peoples led Penn State with 67 yards on 14 carries, and Zach believes it's time to establish him as RB1 going into Northwestern. Plus, how much blame belongs on Matt Campbell and what this loss changes moving forward. What changes would you make to Penn State's offense?

Penn State suffered its first loss of the Matt Campbell era as Wisconsin stunned the Nittany Lions 24-20 at Beaver Stadium. The defense forced three interceptions and repeatedly gave Penn State opportunities, but Rocco Becht and the offense could not capitalize. Without Koby Howard, Wisconsin exposed serious questions about Penn State's explosiveness, running game and offensive approach under Taylor Mouser. Zach Seyko reacts live from Beaver Stadium, breaks down why James Peoples may have ended the RB1 debate, examines what went wrong schematically and looks ahead to a suddenly fascinating Friday night matchup with Northwestern. Was this simply one ugly offensive performance, or did Wisconsin uncover a problem other Big Ten teams can exploit? Photo credit: IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Become an every-dayer!

Penn State opens Big Ten play against Wisconsin as a heavy favorite, but this matchup may be more complicated than the point spread suggests. Zach Seyko breaks down the two areas that could decide Penn State vs. Wisconsin, including the Nittany Lions' running game and the challenge of containing Badgers quarterback Colton Joseph. With Koby Howard unavailable, could Zay Robinson be the next Penn State playmaker to emerge? Plus, a massive recruiting weekend brings several major prospects to Happy Valley, including 2028 EDGE George Parkinson IV, and we examine why Penn State's strength of schedule is already becoming part of the College Football Playoff conversation. Will Penn State cruise, or is Wisconsin capable of making this a four-quarter game? Photo credit: IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Become an every-dayer!

Koby Howard is officially out for Penn State against Wisconsin, but he isn't the only key Nittany Lion whose status matters entering Big Ten play. Zach Seyko breaks down Penn State's official availability report, including Andrew Rappleyea, Brock Riker, Dominic Rulli and the other names to monitor before kickoff. Then, we go position by position through the Penn State depth chart and examine what changes without Howard, who steps into larger roles at wide receiver and tight end, how the running back rotation could evolve, and what Penn State's defensive rotation should look like against Wisconsin. Plus, why Zay Robinson could see an increased role and why Rappleyea's availability becomes even more important with Penn State already missing its leading receiver.

Koby Howard will miss an extended period of time for Penn State, and replacing his production may only be part of the problem. Locked On recruiting analyst Brian Smith joins Zach Seyko to break down what Howard's absence changes for Rocco Becht and the Nittany Lions offense, why Chase Sowell, Zay Robinson, Benjamin Brahmer and others become even more important, and how Wisconsin could try to turn Saturday's Big Ten opener into a rock fight. They also discuss Colton Joseph, Tyrell Henry, Penn State's pass rush and the players who need to emerge before USC and Michigan.

Koby Howard is officially out against Wisconsin and will miss an extended period of time, leaving Penn State without its most explosive offensive playmaker through the first three games. What does Howard's absence actually change for Taylor Mouser's offense? Zach breaks down why replacing Howard is about much more than targets, what Zay Robinson can bring to the lineup, and why Penn State's offensive foundation should remain intact even with its ceiling taking a hit. Plus, Andrew Rappleyea remains an important injury to monitor, Dominic Rulli continues working back, and offensive lineman Will Tompkins is out for the season after suffering an injury during pregame warmups against Buffalo.

Koby Howard and Andrew Rappleyea are dealing with injuries as Penn State prepares to open Big Ten play against Wisconsin — so what does Taylor Mouser's offense look like if two of its most versatile weapons are limited or unavailable? Zach Seyko and Pat Koerbler break down why Howard's value extends far beyond his receiving production, how Zay Robinson, Benjamin Brahmer, Gabe Burkle, Chase Sowell and Penn State's running backs could absorb larger roles, and why Rocco Becht could become a bigger factor with his legs. Plus, why Wisconsin represents Penn State's toughest test yet, how Colton Joseph can stress the Nittany Lions' defense and why Abu Sama's return matters for the Badgers.

Koby Howard is questionable for Penn State's Big Ten opener against Wisconsin after another explosive performance against Buffalo, creating a major question for Matt Campbell and Taylor Mouser's offense. Zach Seyko breaks down what Howard's uncertain status means for Penn State, how Zay Robinson, Chase Sowell, Brett Eskildsen and the tight ends could absorb his workload, and which parts of the offense become harder to replace without Howard's versatility. Plus, Andrew Rappleyea is also questionable, making Gabe Burkle and Benjamin Brahmer even more important, while the outlook for starting center Brock Riker appears considerably more encouraging. How worried should Penn State fans be entering Wisconsin week? Photo credit: IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Become an every-dayer!

Penn State's running game finally exploded against Buffalo — but the biggest takeaway goes well beyond Quinton Martin. After watching Quinton Martin, James Peoples, Carson Hansen and Cam Wallace all contribute, Zach Seyko explains why Penn State may not need to choose a true RB1 at all. What should the running-back rotation look like when Big Ten play begins against Wisconsin? Plus, Rocco Becht has been outstanding through three games, but there's still one major situation Penn State hasn't seen him handle. What happens when the Nittany Lions aren't playing from ahead? And don't overlook Wisconsin. Colton Joseph gives the Badgers a legitimate dual-threat quarterback, Tyrell Henry is coming off a record-setting performance, and Abu Sama III could return to face his former Iowa State coaches and teammates.

Quinton Martin just gave Penn State's running back rotation a much different look heading into Big Ten play. Penn State rushed for 304 yards in its 55-13 win over Buffalo, with Martin exploding for 100 yards on 10 carries after not playing a single snap against Temple. Zach Seyko breaks down what Martin provided, why the ground game finally clicked and what it could mean for Carson Hansen, James Peoples and the rotation against Wisconsin. Plus, the latest on Andrew Rappleyea and Brock Riker, Vaea Ikakoula's impressive performance at center, why Zay Robinson is becoming a legitimate special-teams weapon and the challenge Wisconsin quarterback Colton Joseph presents to Penn State's pass rush.

Quinton Martin just changed Penn State's running-back conversation. Martin exploded for 100 yards on only 10 carries, including a 61-yard run, as Penn State rolled past Buffalo 55–13. Zach Seyko and Zane Brancefield break down why Martin now has to be part of the Nittany Lions' core rotation alongside Carson Hansen and James Peoples — and how Penn State's ground game can create more opportunities for Rocco Becht, Koby Howard and the passing attack. But the blowout didn't erase every concern. Penn State finished only 2-of-10 on third down and committed eight penalties for 96 yards as Big Ten play approaches. Is Penn State actually ready for Wisconsin? And what should Matt Campbell and Taylor Mouser do with this suddenly crowded RB room?

Penn State football absolutely dominated Buffalo in its final non-conference game of the 2026 season, delivering the kind of complete performance Nittany Lions fans had been waiting to see. Matt Campbell's Penn State offense finally unleashed its explosiveness. Quinton Martin Jr. broke out in a major way, Koby Howard continued to establish himself as one of Penn State's most dangerous weapons, Rocco Becht hit multiple big plays through the air, and the Nittany Lions' running back room finally started producing explosive runs. Meanwhile, D'Anton Lynn's Penn State defense overwhelmed Buffalo and gave the Bulls almost nothing to work with for most of the afternoon.

Penn State's passing attack has produced explosive plays immediately under Matt Campbell and Taylor Mouser, but the same thing hasn't happened on the ground. Is the problem really the offensive line and play calling — or are Carson Hansen, James Peoples, Quinton Martin and Cam Wallace leaving big runs on the field? Jackson Ford has a major opportunity for Penn State against Buffalo. With Max Granville out, the freshman defensive end has a real chance to prove he belongs in the rotation and can be trusted with meaningful snaps before Big Ten play begins. The biggest question isn't Ford's size or athleticism — it's whether he can diagnose plays, handle assignments and show the awareness needed to stay on the field. Zach Seyko also breaks down Penn State's running game and why Carson Hansen, James Peoples, Quinton Martin and Cam Wallace haven't consistently produced explosive runs despite opportunities being there. Is the problem really the offensive line and play calling, or are the backs leaving big plays on the field? Plus, how Penn State's explosive passing attack is changing the identity of this offense.

Penn State's depth chart is changing ahead of Buffalo, and the biggest question is at defensive end after Max Granville was ruled out for the season. Zach Seyko breaks down where Penn State turns next with Ikenna Ezeogu, Yvan Kemajou, Caleb Bacon and Alexander McPherson leading the rotation, plus the opportunities that could be coming for Jackson Ford and Liam Andrews. We also examine the running-back debate surrounding Carson Hansen, James Peoples and Quinton Martin, why Koby Howard has become such an important piece of the wide receiver rotation, the return of Armstrong Nnodim and Alijah Carnell at defensive tackle, and the latest unofficial Penn State injury report before Buffalo. Which depth-chart development are you watching most closely Saturday? Photo credit: IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Become an every-dayer!

UCLA might be the Big Ten sleeper nobody is taking seriously enough. Zach Seyko and Jacob Goins break down the teams capable of surprising the conference in 2026, including Bob Chesney's 2-0 UCLA Bruins, Anthony Colandrea and Nebraska, Malik Washington and Maryland, and an Iowa team with an intriguing path through the Big Ten schedule. Then it's onto Week 3, with thoughts on USC traveling to Rutgers, Michigan State trying to hang with Notre Dame, Colorado vs. Northwestern and James Franklin's Virginia Tech Hokies taking on Maryland. How seriously should Penn State fans take UCLA as a potential factor in the Big Ten race? Subscribe to Locked On Nittany Lions for daily Penn State football coverage.

The Athletic's estimated 2026 college football roster budgets put Penn State at roughly $29–32 million—seventh in the Big Ten and about $20 million behind Ohio State. What does that gap actually mean for Matt Campbell and the future of Penn State football? Brian Smith joins Zach Seyko to break down Penn State's roster resources, donor buy-in and what Campbell may need to prove before the program's spending increases further. They also discuss the Protect College Sports Act and the changing financial structure of college athletics. Then it's all football: Is Penn State's struggling run game actually helping Rocco Becht and the passing attack? Carson Hansen, James Peoples and the Nittany Lions' heavy-personnel approach are examined ahead of much tougher Big Ten tests. What concerns you more: Penn State's spending gap or the lack of explosive runs? Photo credit: IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Become an every-dayer!

Penn State football closes out non-conference play against Buffalo with one major question still hanging over the Nittany Lions: can the running game take a legitimate step forward before Big Ten play? Zach Seyko breaks down why Penn State should have a major advantage over Buffalo, the uncertainty surrounding Bulls quarterback Elijah Holmes, and why wide receiver Chance Morrow is the Buffalo player Penn State fans need to know. More importantly, Buffalo's run defense gives Carson Hansen, James Peoples, Quinton Martin and Cam Wallace an opportunity to prove Penn State can generate consistent production on the ground before Wisconsin comes to Beaver Stadium. Plus, predictions for Rocco Becht, Penn State's defense, younger players who could earn meaningful snaps and a final score prediction. What does Penn State need to show you against Buffalo?

Big Ten faces scrutiny as Michigan’s controversial win sparks debate—can the conference restore its reputation before playoff selections loom? The Big 10 Squad breaks down the FBS Oversight Committee’s ruling on the Michigan–Western Michigan officiating drama and question the value of public apologies with no actual remedies. With underwhelming showings from Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, and more, is Indiana really the conference’s best hope for national championship glory? The panel spotlights UCLA’s momentum, USC’s 30-point fourth-quarter leads, and Washington’s offensive woes—while poking fun at Purdue’s heartache and Maryland’s September hot streak. Are the Big Ten’s marquee teams ready to step up, or will non-traditional contenders like Maryland and Indiana carry the torch? Matchups to watch include Colorado at Northwestern and Virginia Tech at Maryland, with playful shots and bold predictions adding intrigue to the Big Ten’s unpredictable landscape.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Athletic’s estimated 2026 roster budgets place Penn State at roughly $29–32 million—seventh in the Big Ten and well behind Ohio State and Oregon. But does that number reveal a long-term resource problem, or did Matt Campbell build his first Penn State roster at an unusual discount through relationships and the massive Iowa State migration? Zach Seyko explains why 2027 will be the real test of Penn State’s financial commitment. He also breaks down how the Protect College Sports Act could affect the Nittany Lions through revenue-sharing rules, transfer restrictions, NIL enforcement, athlete protections and a possible national media-rights structure. Some provisions could help Penn State compete today while limiting the program’s future financial advantage. Is Penn State spending enough to pursue a national championship?

Penn State's rushing attack remains one of the biggest questions surrounding the Nittany Lions through two games—but is benching Carson Hansen for Quinton Martin really the answer? Pat Koerbler of Black Shoe Diaries ( https://x.com/Poerbler ) joins Zach Seyko to break down Penn State's running back rotation, Martin's lack of offensive snaps against Temple, Hansen's workload and the bigger schematic issue facing Taylor Mouser's offense. Could Penn State's emerging wide receiver depth and more three- or four-receiver formations actually help create a more explosive ground game? Plus, we discuss Koby Howard, Chase Sowell, Zay Robinson, Penn State's heavy tight end packages and the latest injury news, including the expected returns of Armstrong Nnodim and Alijah Carnell. What would you change about Penn State's running back rotation? Photo credit: IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Become an every-dayer!

Penn State's running game has become the biggest question surrounding an offense that has otherwise moved the football effectively through two games. Taylor Mouser addressed the struggles, Quinton Martin's lack of opportunities against Temple and why Martin could be earning more touches going forward. Zach Seyko breaks down what Carson Hansen and James Peoples need to improve, why the Buffalo game could reveal more about Savon Huggins' running-back rotation and whether Penn State is actually close to fixing its ground game. Plus, Matt Campbell provided encouraging injury news and Penn State's plan at defensive end following Max Granville's season-ending injury. Jackson Ford and Liam Andrews are two names to watch as the Nittany Lions reshape the rotation. Subscribe for daily Penn State football coverage.

Is Oregon starting to repeat Penn State's disastrous 2025 season? Locked On Ducks host Spencer McLaughlin joins Zach Seyko for a crossover examining the similarities — and important differences — between Oregon's stunning loss to Oklahoma State and the collapse Penn State experienced after losing to the Ducks last season. How much blame belongs on new Oregon coordinators Drew Mehringer and Chris Hampton? What can Dan Lanning learn from James Franklin's final Penn State season? And how much margin for error do the Ducks really have before games against USC, Ohio State and Michigan? Plus, Zach and Spencer break down a brutal weekend for the Big Ten and why uncertainty around Oregon, Ohio State and Michigan could create a major opportunity for Penn State. What would convince you Oregon is heading toward a Penn State-style collapse? Photo credit: IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Become an every-dayer!

Rocco Becht's start to the 2026 season could force Penn State to rethink its offensive identity. Through wins over Marshall and Temple, Becht has completed more than 75% of his passes while Penn State has shown legitimate weapons at wide receiver and tight end. Should Taylor Mouser lean even harder into the passing game while the rushing attack finds its footing? Zach Seyko breaks down the Penn State running-back rotation after Carson Hansen and James Peoples handled essentially all of the meaningful work against Temple while Quinton Martin and Cam Wallace barely saw the field. What does that usage tell us about the coaching staff's trust in the room, and should the rotation change against Buffalo? Subscribe for daily Penn State football coverage on Locked On Nittany Lions.

The Big Ten hierarchy looks completely different after a chaotic Week 2. Ohio State blew a 20-point lead against Texas. Oregon suffered a stunning loss at Oklahoma State. Michigan bounced back against Oklahoma. Meanwhile, Indiana continues to roll, USC is gaining momentum and Penn State sits at 2-0 after a 27-9 win over Temple that may have looked worse on the scoreboard than it actually was. Locked On Nittany Lions host Zach Seyko is joined by Locked On Hoosiers host Jacob Goins to break down where Penn State and Indiana belong in the Big Ten right now, how concerned fans should be about Oregon, whether Ohio State will rebound and why Penn State's eventual matchup with USC could become one of the conference's defining games.

Penn State beat Temple 27-9, but two major roster questions emerged from Philadelphia. Why didn't Quinton Martin factor into the Nittany Lions' running-back rotation? Carson Hansen handled 19 carries while James Peoples flashed again, creating an increasingly interesting debate about how Matt Campbell and Taylor Mouser view Penn State's backfield. Plus, Campbell confirmed devastating injury news: defensive end Max Granville will miss the remainder of the 2026 season. What does that mean for Yvan Kemajou, Ikenna Ezeogu, Caleb Bacon, Alexander McPherson and Penn State's young edge rushers? Zach Seyko and Zane Brancefield break down what Penn State's rotations are telling us and what to watch next against Buffalo. Let us know: Should Quinton Martin be getting more opportunities?

Penn State defensive end Max Granville will miss the remainder of the 2026 season, Matt Campbell confirmed after the Nittany Lions' 27-9 win over Temple. What does Granville's season-ending injury actually mean for Penn State's defense? Zach breaks down the loss, why Granville had the potential to become a major piece of the pass rush, and how Penn State moves forward with Ikenna Ezeogu, Caleb Bacon, Yvan Kemajou and Alexander McPherson. Plus, could Kemajou emerge as Penn State's top pass rusher, and can freshmen Jackson Ford and Elijah Reeder work their way into the rotation?

Penn State gets the win over Temple, but it was anything but perfect from the opening kick.

Penn State heads to Philadelphia to face Temple with one major offensive question: is the running game ready to erupt after Rocco Becht and Koby Howard opened up the passing attack against Marshall? Zach Seyko explains why Carson Hansen, James Peoples, Quinton Martin and Cam Wallace should have a better opportunity, which Penn State player could become the next breakout name and what fans should watch during the first several possessions. The episode also separates confirmed availability news from injury speculation, including what to expect from returning players and how potential absences could affect Penn State’s defensive rotation. The final score may not be the most revealing part of this matchup. The real test is whether Penn State’s roles, identity and depth become clearer before Big Ten play. Who do you think breaks out next? Photo credit: USA TODAY Network via Reuters Connect Become an every-dayer!

Koby Howard exploded for 161 receiving yards against Marshall, but his biggest impact on Penn State's offense could come after defenses start adjusting to him. College football and recruiting analyst Brian Smith joins Locked On Nittany Lions to break down Howard's development, why his breakout raises serious questions about how Penn State's previous coaching staff handled the wide receiver room, and what he still needs to prove against elite Big Ten competition. Plus, Zach and Brian discuss Bryce Underwood and Michigan's troubling start, McCoy Richardson's potential fit in Penn State's defensive front, and the emerging Penn State-Ohio State recruiting battle for fast-rising 2027 running back Jordan Hall. What does Koby Howard need to show you before you're ready to call him a true WR1? Photo credit: IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Become an every-dayer!

Penn State heads to Philadelphia to face Temple, and the matchup strongly favors the Nittany Lions. Zach Seyko explains why he has Penn State winning 49–7, including Temple's banged-up offensive line, the ongoing Jaxon Smolik–Ajani Sheppard quarterback situation and how D'Anton Lynn could attack the Owls' protection. Plus, how Koby Howard's breakout changes the way Temple can defend Rocco Becht, why Carson Hansen, James Peoples and the Penn State running backs have a bounce-back opportunity, and which young players — including Josiah Zayas — could earn important early-season reps. What will Penn State's game plan look like on both sides of the ball, and can Temple keep this competitive? Drop your score prediction below.
