Penn State vs. UCLA 

The Nittany Lions once again got out to a slow start, failing to score a touchdown in the first quarter and only 14 points before halftime. However, the offense picked things up after that, scoring on its next four possesions before going three-and-out to start the fourth quarter. 

Penn State quarterback Drew Allar started out euqally slow, going 2-4 to start the game before getting hot and finishing the firs thalf 10-14 for 129 yards. When Allar got looks he liked during the game, he attacked downfield, primarily to slot receiver Liam Clifford. The veteran was this week's receiver of the moment, with three catches for 107 yards. 

The team was also without top game-breaker Nick Singleton. In his absence, Kaytron Allen carried the load, rushing 21 times for 78 yards. Freshman Quinton Martin showed off some of his potent skills, with three catches for 18 yards and several strong runs with mutiple broken tackles. 

Penn State defense dominates the third quarter again

Once agian the Penn State defense, like it's offense started slow, giving up a six play drive that took up six minutes of the first quarter, but ended on a UCLA failed fourth down attempt. 

However, the defense allowed the offense to race ahead in the middle of the game, as they typcially do this season. UCLA gained -9 yards in the third quarter and only manged nine plays on the way to the loss. 

It was a big game for two players who've struggled recently. Safety Zakee Wheatley finished the game with seven tackles and Tony Rojas finished with eight. 

What was your favorite moment of the game? Are you still concerned with the way the team plays to start? Join the BWI Live Postgame show and drop your comments in the cat. We'll discuss them live on the show as our featured content!

A new Penn State wrestling show from Blue-White Illustrated is now live! The defending NCAA champs now sit roughly a month away from kicking off the 2024-2025 season. In the first episode of October, host Thomas Frank Carr and reporter Greg Pickel share the latest on the Nittany Lions as they wait to take the mat.

The conversation starts with recruiting. Penn State hosted Class of 2025 star Marcus Blaze last weekend, which included a stop at Beaver Stadium to see the football team take on Illinois in primetime. The Perrysburg, Ohio native has not said much publically about his recruitment. We know that his top group consists of Michigan, Cornell, Ohio State, Purdue, and Iowa. A decision from the nation's No. 1 138-pound wrestler and No. 2 pound-for-pound grappler per MatScouts could come at any moment. Pickel and Carr discuss that and also Class of 2026 standout Bo Bassett. He put out his list of official visits this week. One of his stops will be in State College. Here's his current schedule:

More: Bo Bassett sets recruiting timeline, official visits

Pickel and Carr discuss Bassett's recruitment and when a decisions could be made before moving on to the latest on the Lions' lineup. Six members of head coach Cael Sanderson's team will compete in next month's NWCA All-Star Classic? What do the matchups tell us about how Sanderson could fill out his lineup this winter? 

It's becoming clear that four-time NCAA champ Carter Starocci will move up to 184 pounds to try and become the first five-time champ in collegiate wrestling history. Last year's 157-pound NCAA champ, Levi Haines, is moving up to 174. Sophomore Tyler Kasak, who finished third at 149 pounds year ago, looks set to replace Haines at 157. All three will compete in the NWCA event along with Greg Kerkvliet (heavyweight), Shayne Van Ness (149 pounds), and Beau Bartlett (141). 

You can watch this week’s Penn State wrestling show in the video player above and also on YouTube. Or, you can listen at your favorite destinations for audio like SPOTIFY and APPLE.

The show closes with a look at the Lions' 2024-2025 schedule and what we know about it so far. Here are the confirmed dates, events, and opponents so far:

Penn State Football practice update and highlights

Before we start the show with recruiting news, we need to discuss the latest team update from Wednesday evening. Penn State opened practice to the media on Wednesday evening inside Holuba Hall and head coach James Franklin spoke with the media after the event. What did we see and hear that's important for this weekend? We'll discuss. 

Recruiting News and Visitor preview

Last weekend's primetime kickoff was a major opportunity for the Nittany Lions to attract top recruiting talent to Happy Valley for the win over Illinois. Recruiting experts Ryan Snyder and Sean Fitz spent the last week contacting recruits and getting a sense for how the experience went for them. We'll discuss the most important players they've talked to and the most interesting conversations. 

However, the next list is always the most important one. Snyder and Fitz are working hard to end the week confirming players who will attend the upcoming game. Which names stand out from that list? They'll discuss the most interesting players joining team for the showdown with UCLA. 

Game Preview

Finally, we'll preview the team's matchup with UCLA. What do we think are the major factors that will determine the outcome? The Bruins travel to the East Coast as a nearly 30-point underdog. It doesn't seem that Penn State is in danger of an upset, but how what do we want to see from the team? What do you want to see from your Nittany Lions? Join us and give your thoughts in the live chat!

Penn State practice preview

The Penn State football team gears up for another Big Ten opponent this weekend when they face UCLA at Beaver Stadium. We'll get our first and only look at the team's preparations for the upcoming game tonight when the the Nittany Lions open up practice. Host Greg Pickel takes you through what BWI is looking for in the weekly ten-minute window. We'll also preview head coach James Franklin's post-practice interview, which you can watch moments after its conclusion tonight. 

The Tuesday BWI Live show is so stocked with interesting conversations that we get to fewer mailbag questions each week than we would like. This week, we hit an all-time low. So, we're making up for that and re-opening the mailbag today during the Wednesday show. We'll answer questions from the Blue White Illustrated message board members, including a discussion on the cornerback room and more. 

What sort of step does the team need to take after a dominant performance against Illinois that only resulted in 21 points? We'll highlight some of the areas that the team can improve so that they're ready for the teeth of its Big Ten schedule. 

Reviewing the best performances from this past weekend

Finally, we'll take one last look at Penn State's win over Illinois and highlight some underrated aspects of the game in our review of the weekly film breakdown. Penn State defensive coordinator Tom Allen finally deployed defensive end Abdul Carter as a linebacker during the previous game. What went into that, and how did he perform in those situations? We'll discuss how the move wasn't exactly what you'd think. 

Next, we'll discuss the defensive decision to play the team's 11th defender. Why did redshirt freshman linebacker Dakaari Nelson play more than Cam Miller and Dejuan Lane? We'll break down those decisions. Lastly, we'll review the top run blocking performances from a standout game up front.

The Penn State Nittany Lions defeated the Illinois Fighting Illini on Saturday night in a gritty, grimy game. Penn State used Illinois tactics against them, running the football repeatedly in the third and fourth quarters to grind out a closer-than-expected victory. Join the BWI Live postgame show to discuss the win and your thoughts about how the team performed.

Penn State offense grinds out win 

The high-flying offense we became accustomed to through the first month of the season didn't show up for the Nittany Lions. Penn State didn't complete a pass over 20 yards in the game. Once again, quarterback Drew Allar didn't make many mistakes to put the ball in harm's way but was off-target in the first half, missing several passes that would have converted third and fourth down. 

In the third quarter, Penn State ran the ball 16 times. However, kicker Sander Sahaydak missed two field goals and kept the game close throughout the contest. Overall, the Penn State offense had four drives of eight plays or more. They also accumulated multiple chunk runs without breaking off a big run for a touchdown in the game. 

Defense dominates in the second half

The Penn State defense gave up just 32 total yards in the second half before AJ Harris stepped in front of a fourth down pass from Altmyer. Harris took the ball back for a touchdown, but a block in the back penalty on slot corner Zion Tracy eliminated the defenisve score. 

Still, the defense dominated the line of scrimmage all night and prevented Illinois from getting into a rhythm offensively. Illinois averaged 1.8 yards rushing on the night.

The Penn State wrestling show from Blue-White Illustrated is back to get you up to speed on the latest news and information about the Nittany Lions. The 2024-2025 regular season is almost here, and the leaves are starting to turn color to prove that the calendar is inching closer to NCAA title defense time for head coach Cael Sanderson and his legendary program.

On this week's show, BWI reporter Greg Pickel and host Thomas Frank Carr start by recapping the latest recruiting information. Top Class of 2026 recruit Bo Bassett had Penn State coaches at his Pa., house for an in-home visit on Tuesday. He also reduced his list of suitors to 17 schools, while fellow teammate, top recruit, and junior Jax Forrest dropped his list to 10. The Nittany Lions are on both prospects' rundown of schools, which are still in the running, of course.

Following the recruiting update, Pickel and Carr move on to the latest schedule news. The Lions will host Drexel in December during the non-conference portion of their 2024-2025 schedule. Here's where things stand on that front as of Thursday night:

The show closes with a look at the NWCA All-Star Classic. Levi Haines is competing in it at 174 pounds after winning last year's 157-pound title. And, Shayne Van Ness is returning from last season's injury to wrestle at 149 in the event. What do those two developments tell us about the Penn State projected lineup in 2024-2025? Pickel and Carr discuss. Update: After the taping of this episode, Flo announced two more matches involving Penn State wrestlers. Beau Bartlett faces Ohio State’s Jesse Mendez at 141 pounds. And, Greg Kerkvliet faces Buckeye Nick Feldman at heavyweight.
