DOMINATE THE STATE
This afternoon, Head Coach Cael Sanderson, 125lb starter Luke Lilledahl, and 149lb starter Shayne Van Ness spoke to media ahead of the Black Knight Invitational, to be held in West Point New York on Sunday, November 23. Note: Begrudgingly, I’m playing with the ever increasing capabilities of Large Language Models (“AI”) to make transcriptions nice […]
We have lots to catch up on from the last time we took a lay of the land regarding Penn State’s coaching search. While we’re hitting the homestretch in some sense — Penn State will *likely* hire a head coach during the first week-ish of December — things are still up in the air publicly […]
Lavar Keys Flips to Indiana Former Penn State commit and three-star wide receiver Lavar Keys has now flipped to Indiana: The Maryland native originally committed to Penn State in August of 2024 and decommitted on October 12, the day James Franklin was fired. He visited Indiana on October 25 for its resounding 56-6 win over […]

Michigan and USC Keep Playoff Hopes Alive…For Now Michigan and USC both barely passed tests to keep their playoff hopes alive on Saturday.

Here’s a list of the current Nittany Lions in the NFL listed by 53-man roster: *Just a reminder that again this season, I will not include players like Juwan Johnson and KeAndre Lambert-Smith that did not finish their college career at Penn State* Arizona Cardinals: Blake Gillikin, PJ Mustipher Atlanta Falcons: Arnold Ebiketie Baltimore Ravens: […]
Senior day is upon us! Leave your questions here!
The season has entered its final few weeks and we finally saw a Penn State victory. But, what else was going on around the Big Ten over the weekend? Let’s take a look at some of the storylines. Best Win of the Week: USC Keeps Playoff Hopes Alive It was a rare rainy, nasty weather […]
A little over a month after Penn State fired long-time head coach James Franklin, it appears that he has found a new landing spot. According to Pete Thamel, James Franklin is nearing an agreement with Virginia Tech to be the Hokies’ next head coach. Details have yet to be released on Franklin’s new gig, but […]
Hello there and welcome to the Big Ten Power Rankings! Each week we’ll rank how the teams across the conference are playing, in the hopes of seeing just who is a contender, and who is a pretender over the course of the season. The rules are few, but resolute: Teams are ranked by how they’re […]
Kaytron Allen is now less than 150 yards away from being the all-time rushing leader in Penn State history. In Saturday’s 28-10 win at Michigan State, the senior had the most productive day of his career. Allen ran for 181 yards and scored a pair of touchdowns, book ending Penn State’s win, and earning him […]
For the first time since September Penn State has won a football game. 8 weeks without a victory. Several – mostly? – near misses, but for the first time since playing Villanova the Lions had a higher score than their opponent when the clock struck aughts. And I gotta say, I’m happy. For beating a […]
Penn State completed their gauntlet of top-two teams in both the Coaches Poll and the Associated Press ranking, and three other conference foes remain in the polls. The Big Ten still boasts the Coaches Poll and the Associated Press ranking, and three other conference teams remain in the polls. Ohio State widened their lead at […]
It took all the way until November 15, but Penn State football finally has its first conference (and Power Four) win of the season. After a demoralizing loss to Indiana, an inspired Nittany Lions group marched into East Lansing with one goal in mind: retaining the Land-Grant Trophy. The overwhelming feeling on social media following […]
I’m filling in for Tim after he ran the Richmond marathon this weekend. Penn State finally got back in the win column with a 28-10 win over Michigan State on Saturday. But most importantly, the Land Grant Trophy remains in Penn State’s possession until at least 2027. Quarterback: B+ Ethan Grunkemeyer only threw 13 passes […]
The Nittany Lions showed their true identity in the win over Michigan State. Kaytron Allen’s big day has him inching closer to the all-time rushing yards record. Terry Smith earns his first win as interim head coach, as he seeks a return to the program in 2026. Dani Dennis-Sutton played with his hair on fire, […]
Penn State got on the win column for the first time since September. The Nittany Lions, losers of six straight, put together a game plan that worked to near perfection against a team on their level. The gauntlet over, the Lions can now focus on keeping their bowl hopes alive. It almost looked like disaster […]
Penn State finally tasted victory on Saturday after a six-game skid, wearing down Michigan State for a 28-10 triumph. The oddsmakers like the Nittany Lions chances of making it two in a row.

After a three-game stretch where the team was outscored 14-2, No. 5 Penn State came up with a key 4-2 win over No. 2 Michigan on Saturday night. The Nittany Lions never trailed in the game and got three goals from the bottom six to earn a hard-fought win on home ice. First Period Just […]
1) Aggressive defense Penn State played more of the style of defense this team is used to, a change that seemed to have started last week against Indiana. Why it took Jim Knowles this long to adjust is beyond me. Their aggressiveness almost bit them there by the end, but they made up the back-to-back […]
Penn State is done playing for the day, but there’s a bunch more football out there. Hang out with us while we watch!
In a season that has felt like Penn State was beating its head against a wall repeatedly with no result, the Lions seemed to be doing exactly that against Michigan State’s defensive line on Saturday. But this time, things finally broke Penn State’s way in a 28-10 win at Spartan Stadium. Mostly, it was Michigan […]
Starting the Season with a Mix-tape of Bonus Points Penn State started the 2025-26 NCAA Wrestling Season in large part right where they left off.
