Michigan was willing to bench Bryce Underwood. Why won't Matt Campbell consider making a change at quarterback for Penn State?
After another frustrating Big Ten loss, Rocco Becht's three turnovers have intensified questions about the Nittany Lions' offense and the future of Alex Manske. Zach Seyko is joined by Pat Koerbler (https://x.com/Poerbler) of Black Shoe Diaries to discuss whether Penn State needs to start preparing for 2027 rather than continuing to rely exclusively on Becht.
The conversation also examines D'Anton Lynn's defensive scheme, Penn State's struggles against the run, Taylor Mouser's offensive playcalling, Benjamin Brahmer's role, and the recruiting concerns surrounding Will Wood's flip to Boston College.
Is Matt Campbell being too stubborn about his quarterback decision? And what does Penn State need to change during the bye week?
