RIP to family/friends of Ron Bracken, one of the most respected sports writers in Central PA ever. A true wordsmith and measured columnist was looked up to by all in the high school sports community and for 40 years on PSU football beat. Also helped form Centre County Sports HOF.

Happy Homecoming weekend …

Kaytron Allen carried three times for 15 yards on the Lions' first possession that ended badly. He passed Curtis Enis (3,256 yards) and moved into the No. 6 spot on PSU's all-time rushing list with 3,269 yards

Eight combined touches for Allen and Ross in the first quarter for 61 yards...That 20-yard catch by Ross would have been a much bigger play but Drew threw behind him. Ross had zero catches last week.

Allen 9-59 and a TD....Carried eight times for 50 yards against UCLA. ..

On Kaytron Allen's TD run, he past another PSU great, Blair Thomas, to take the No. 5 spot on Lions' all-tme rush list. Kaytron has 3313 yards to Blair's 3,301...Tony Hunt at No. 4 with 3,320

Nick Singleton around left end for a two-yard score on fourth and goal. Also of note: 7 carries, 20 yards.

Ross and Allen tied with longest gain of the season, 67 yards.

Welp, Penn State fans. I thought I had seen it all. I was wrong. Back-to-back losses to UCLA and NW. Little fight from the defense. Now Drew Allar is out for the year. Where would you like to start? Again, the floor is yours ...

There it is....

Penn State fans! It's been a very uneventful last 72 hours so I thought I would check in. By the way, I wanted to ask you: Who should be Penn State's head coach in 2026, and why?

Iowa fans not NEARLY done tailgating prior to facing Penn State at Kinnick Stadium later today …

Penn State starting guard Vega Ioane is out today for the Iowa matchup, per the availability report. Big, big loss.

Penn State's issues at DT and at LB are surfacing early, even with PSU up 7-0...Xavier Gilliam down for Lions

Okay, PSU fans. Thoughts on what you saw from the Lions in the Iowa loss. Grunkemeyer's play, Kaytron Allen's big night wasted, some poor defensive play vs. the run (again), Terry Smith's coaching. What can PSU build on? Will a bye week help? What has disappointed you most?

The Shoe! Hello everyone…

Penn State fans, I am hopping on a live Blue-White Breakdown podcast with Max Ralph Thursday at noon and would love to hear from you ahead of PSU -IU. Questions, comments, whatever you got. Here's my question for you: Who are the players Penn State MUST retain for 2026 and why?

Sources: Indiana star LB Aiden Fisher (knee) will return to the line-up today at Penn State and start for the Hoosiers after missing the Indiana game. Star WR Elijah Sarratt will be a game-time decision, as he left the Maryland game with the hamstring injury.

Grunkemeyer's first TD pass as a starter....he has made some big-time throws today.

PSU fans, not all losses are created equal. What did you think of PSU-Indiana? It was an incredible game and you have to give the Hoosiers credit for the late rally. What were your biggest PSU positives, and WHERE has this Penn State effort been all season? Give me a shout.
