Nonconference play is officially in the books, and we're breaking down what we've learned about Penn State — and what's still a mystery — heading into Big Ten play against Wisconsin.

We start with the running back situation, where Quinton Martin bounced back from a quiet week with a huge performance against Buffalo. He explains in his own words what changed: not missed assignments, better blitz pickup, and earning the coaching staff's trust. We discuss why that doesn't necessarily make him RB1, and why Penn State's three-back rotation might be a feature, not a problem, heading into conference play.

From there, we cover what we know: the receiver room has shown real contested-catch ability, with Koby Howard leading the way and Chase Sowell stepping up as a legitimate second option. What we don't know: how the pass rush holds up once Penn State faces teams that can actually throw the ball, and how big a loss Max Granville's season-ending injury really is. We also dig into red zone execution, an ever-changing safety rotation now that Jeremiah Cooper is healthy, and Matt Campbell's surprisingly conservative fourth-down decision-making so far this season.

After two weeks of hearing that the run game wasn't working, the Penn State football team put the Buffalo Bulls in a blender. The team rushed for over 150 yards before the starters came out in a blowout win in the Nittany Lions' final non-conference game of the season. We’ll discuss what Penn State offensive coordiantor Taylor Mouser did to get the ground game going, plus what we learned about the defense in today’s BWI Live Postgame Show. 

Join us immediately after Penn State and Buffalo to discuss the win and what else we learned from the game. We’ll take fan questions throughout the hour-long show, so be sure to join us live!

Penn State survived a sluggish 27-9 win over Temple, and Sean Fitz joins to break down what went wrong — and right — a day removed from the game.
 

We start with the big picture: three empty red zone trips to open the game set the tone for a much sloppier performance than Week One. We discuss the human side of Max Granville's season-ending injury and how the defense has to reconfigure its pass rush without him, why the run defense breakdown falls more on linebackers and safeties than the defensive tackles, and Marcus Neal's rough day in coverage. On offense, we cover Rocco Becht's up-and-down day that still produced elite numbers, the Chase Sowell drop conversation, and the ongoing run game debate around Carson Hansen's workload. We close with Tony Rojas's game-changing interception, explained in his own words.
