Running back Nick Singleton joined Penn State’s elite 3,000-Yard Club on Saturday vs. FIU in Beaver Stadium on a 10-yard run to the left on a second-and-6 in the third quarter. He’s now at 3,007 yards and counting. A quarter later, on his final carry of the day, Singleton’s teammate and roommate — Kaytron Allen…

The SEC announced two weeks ago that it will implement a nine-game conference football schedule beginning in 2026. In addition, SEC teams will also be required to annually schedule at least one non-conference game against an opponent from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 or Notre Dame. The nine-game conference slate is what Penn State…

In many ways, Saturday was a day of firsts in Beaver Stadium — no matter where or how you looked at it…or the game. That’s why my Sunday Top 10 — new for the 2025 Penn State football season — this week focuses on what was stadium new, what was transfer portal borrowed, and what was…

Hudson, Hudson, Singleton. Hudson (incomplete). Peña, Peña, Hudson, Peña, Singleton, Singleton, Hudson, Reynolds. Hudson (incomplete), Peña (incomplete). Reynolds, Ross, Hudson (touchdown), Peña, Peña, Hudson, Peña, Allen, Peña, Singleton. Singleton (incomplete). Allen. And that, ladies and gentlemen, was Penn State quarterback Drew Allar’s day against Nevada on Saturday in Beaver Stadium, where the No. 2 Nittany…

Three days before No. 2 Penn State’s season-opener against Nevada in a ready-to-go Beaver Stadium, coach James Franklin announced that Ethan Grunkenmeyer was his No. 2 quarterback behind Drew Allar — at least for the first game. But in his post-practice press conference, Franklin went in-depth about why the key backups at the other positions are…

Veteran college football analyst Gary Danielson, who is calling Penn State’s season-opener vs. Nevada for CBS at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, knows his Nittany Lions. He also knows how to nit-pick them with a critical eye. Danielson worked four of their road games for CBS last season — some tight ones, too. The 33-30 OT win…

Week 1 of college football is upon us and there will be some big matchups: No. 1 Texas at No. 3 Ohio State. No. 6 Notre Dame at No. 10 Miami (Fla.). No. 9 LSU at No. 4 Clemson. No. 8 Alabama at Florida State. Brent Pry’s Virginia Tech squad at No. 13 South Carolina.…

College football magazine savant Phil Steele says Penn State’s offensive line is the best in the nation heading into the much-hyped 2025 season. Does it have a chance to be the best O-line in Nittany Lion football history, which dates back to 1887? With quarterback Drew Allar and the running back combo of Nick Singleton…

It’s ready. Beaver Stadium and the temporary bleachers on the upper west side of the iconic 65-year-old stadium have been tested and re-tested, and are safe and secure for No. 2-ranked Penn State’s 2025 football season-opener on Aug. 30 against Nevada. And that’s a promise, Penn State athletic director Pat Kraft said on Tuesday. Kraft,…

I credit Andy Kotelnicki — at least in part — for so many veteran Penn State football players deciding to return for one final season in 2025 in the hopes of winning a national championship. And I told him so. Coach K was the mastermind of a Penn State offense that helped guide the Nittany Lions to…
