On today's BWI Live Show, we'll discuss the news that BYU head coach Kalani Sitaki has emerged as the mystery candidate that athletic director Pat Kraft has targeted as the next leader of the Blue and White. What does this mean for the program? How good or bad of a fit is he? What are the qualities that lend themselves to his style? We'll discuss your burning questions and comments on the show today. Join the BWI Live Show at 10 a.m. on YouTube to join the live chat and be part of the show. We'll be talking with fans throughout the 60-minute airtime. We'll also finish the 2025 season by discussing Penn State's wild win over Rutgers in the season finale. If you haven't yet, subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel and enable notifications. When Kraft finally pulls the trigger on a candidate, we'll be bringing you breaking news to discuss the impact and next steps of the process. You'll also want to be dialed in for the recruiting and portal implications of the team's transition to the next coach.Penn State targets coach with few ties to program The news that Sitake is the top candidate for Penn State has been met with very mixed feelings from fans. However, the surface-level comparison between BYU and Penn State is not the only thing at play. We'll discuss the timeline of how Sitake became the top target, what he brings to the table, and what his coaching this week in the Big 12 Championship Game means for the Nittany Lions as a program. We'll also give you an initial scouting profile on Sitake as a leader and what our early impressions of his coaching are. Next, we'll dive into the timeline of events now that we know Penn State's top target in the search. What does this news do for the transfer decisions of current players in a positive and a negative light? Will this affect the early signing day? How does the timing of the Big 12 Championship game and a potential spot in the College Football Playoff determine the outcome of this search? We'll discuss those questions and more!Rutgers Recap Finally, we'll discuss the current team's final game of the season against Rutgers. We'll recap the offensive performance from the line and run game, plus discuss the maturation of Penn State quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer. Of course, we'll dive into the defensive performance and what led to the team giving up over 500 yards in a wild shootout that ended on a defensive play. Join the show live at 10 a.m. to be part of the action! #PennState  #NittanyLions  JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Allen had 107 yards on ten attempts, just at halftime. Singleton chipped in 81 yards and a record-setting score of his own. However, the defense struggled to stop a feisty Rutgers offense that played its RPO game well to threaten Penn State on the edges of the tackle box and in one-on-one coverage. The Scarlet Knights scored 21 points in the first half to keep the game within three.Yet young quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer operated an impressive scoring drive right before halftime. The Penn State offense ripped off two big passes to go 56 yards in just 26 seconds to kick a field goal and take a lead at halftime before receiving the ball after the break.The Penn State defense struggled for most of the game but came up with two timely plays, a fumble return for a touchdown by Amare Campbell, and a stop on fourth down by Zion Tracy to give Penn State the ball back with under four minutes remaining. Allen then salted the game away with a 47-yard run.Lions head into the postseasonBefore the season is officially over, be sure to check out the rest of our Penn State Football postgame content.

Penn State's dynamic duo of Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton combined for 157 yards through three quarters, and Allen broke the all-time rushing record at home on senior day to power the win. Singleton also tied Saquon Barkley's total touchdown record with two touchdowns in the game. Meanwhile, the Penn State defense made timely stops in the game to help the offense jump out ot a blistering start. The defense gave up a 70-yard drive, but went for it on 4th and 1 from inside the five, but got stopped by Amare Campbell and Zane Durant. The Huskers had another chance to get points, driving into the red zone, but had to settle for a field goal. That put Nebraska within seven points, which was the last time they were within one score the rest of the game. More postgame coverageBe sure to stick around for the rest of Blue White Illustrated's postgame coverage. We'll have Terry Smith's postgame press conference following the game, so you can hear it directly from Penn State's leader and find out why critical situations played out as they did.

Today, we'll discuss the move with recruiting reporters Ryan Snyder and Sean Fitz. What sort of impact will these moves have on the program? What did those staffers do in the first place? We'll discuss how their absence will change things for Smith and his staff. Next, we'll dig into the gritty business of Penn State recruiting news. The team has just 11 commits left in the Class of 2026 after several high-profile decommitments in the last seven days.

Is that enough to push the Nittany Lions over the top of the higher-ranked team? We'll discuss the key matchups on both sides of the ball and then give our score predictions to end the show. #PennState  #NittanyLions  JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3Can Penn State Save Its Roster?

However, starting quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer had an uneven game, so the team relied on starting running backs Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton. The duo combined for over 35 touches in the game and over 100 yards. However, the story of the game was the Penn State defensive line. Defensive end Dani Dennis-Sutton had a strong performance with two sacks and a QB hit to keep the Michigan State offense at bay while Penn State's offense struggled through a third-quarter slump. Penn State finally put distance between itself and Michigan State in the fourth quarter to get the win. More Postgame content Of course, we've got more coverage for you after the game beyond the postgame show.

The record for wins in a row is 76, and head coach Cael Sanderson's team continues its pursuit of that mark against the Sooners.Roger Kish enters his third season as the Oklahoma head coach. As Sanderson notes, the Sooners had plenty of success in the transfer portal this offseason. Two of the newcomers, Rafael Hipolito (from Virginia Tech) and Peyten Kellar (Ohio) are top 20 portal additions, per InterMat. They wrestle in the 157- and 165-pound weight classes, respectively.Besides those two, who are Nos. 7 and 17 in their respective weight class rankings, per InterMat, Oklahoma also added expected starter Tyson Carmoli from Wyoming at 133, two-time NCAA qualifier Tyler Wells at 141 from Minnesota, Jack Gioffre from Virginia at 149, and senior Brian Soldano from Rutgers at 184 pounds.#PennState  #NittanyLions  JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today on the BWI Live Recruiting Show, we'll discuss how those three weeks are also critical for the team's recruiting efforts heading into the early signing period in December. How will Penn State navigate this weekend and beyond? We'll discuss all of that and share our thoughts on today's practice viewing session on the show. Join us live at 10 a.m. on YouTube to discuss your thoughts as well! We'll be taking your questions and comments throughout the show to see what's on your mind this week. Penn State practice update and recruiting news Penn State held open practice on Wednesday evening in a truncated fashion. We'll spend a few minutes discussing what we saw in the two-period open viewing session for the media. What did we see? Tune in to find out. Next, we'll dig into the latest recruiting news for the program. More player are flipping or opening up their commitments. We'll review the latest players to choose other programs and discuss the fallout of what the 2026 recruiting situation is for Penn State heading into the early signing period. Of course, the team hosted recruits last week against Indiana. Were they able to get critical players to join them on campus for the near-upset victory over Indiana? Reporter Ryan Snyder will discuss how commit Marlen Bright made it back to campus and the significance of his presence to the class. From there, he'll discuss notable names who joined Bright. Penn State vs Michigan State Preview Finally, we'll discuss the upcoming game against Michigan State. Can Penn State finally get a Big Ten win in a season of agonizing defeats? We'll discuss where Penn State can take advantage of the Spartans and how we see this game playing out between the lines. The biggest wildcard for the Nittany Lions is that there's uncertainty about how Michigan State will play at quarterback. Backup Alessio Milivojevic gave the team a spark and nearly upset Minnesota in the team's Nov. 1, 23-20 loss. Milivojevic completed 71% of his passes for 311 yards in the back-and-forth affair. Yet starter Aidan Chiles is athletic and dangerous with the ball in his hands. He has 255 yards on designed runs this year and another 157 scrambling. QB containment has been the Achilles Heel of the Penn State defense, so which player will see the field this weekend? Join the show to hear our discussion on that, and more! #PennState  #NittanyLions  JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3Penn State vs Michigan State Preview: Can Lions Finally Win a Big Ten Game? | Recruiting Flips Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week, interim head coach Terry Smith said that the program found its quarterback of the future in Ethan Grunkemeyer. Is that true? Reporter Greg Pickel examines the position heading into the uncertain future for the team with a new head coach on the horizon. Finally, we'll end the first half of today's show by doing a quick practice preview of what we're hoping to see tonight when the Nittany Lions open up the facility for our weekly 10 minutes of viewing. Draftable stock up date and MSU Preview Next, we'll dig into the upcoming game between Michigan State and Penn State.

Penn State has not dropped consecutive games to the top two teams in the country in as many weeks. The team is now on an unprecedented six-game losing streak and is winless in conference play. Discuss the loss and the rest of the season on the Blue White Illustrated LaBatt Postgame Show. We'll break down what happened during the game and how Penn State failed to execute in crunch time when it mattered most. We'll also be taking your questions throughout the hour-long show. It's also a great time to subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel and Blue White Illustrated. Penn State is coming down the home stretch of the college football season and will name a new head coach in the next few months. Penn State keeps it close at halftime The Penn State defense showed up in a much better way to start the game against the Hoosiers. The team allowed 17 points at halftime, but seven came on a short field, thanks to a fumble by starting running back Kaytron Allen during the two-minute drive before halftime. Defensive coordiantor Jim Knowles came out aggressive, collecting six tackles for loss in the first half thanks to run blitzes and pressure. However, the team's issues with stopping the quarterback run still lingered and allowed Indiana to convert too many third downs. Fernando Mendoza collected 30 yards and a touchdown on four rushing attempts, which also included a first-half sack and loss of yardage. Penn State offense shows some life Despite not getting many quality looks and attempts, starting quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer showed poise on Saturday, completing nine of 11 passing attempts for 90 yards, including a 43-yard strike to Trebor Pena, who broke a tackle and got an explosive play with yards after the catch. However, Penn State tried to throw into the teeth of the Indiana defense too much, and only mounted two drives of more than four plays in the first half. Penn State roared back in the second half and took a 24-20 lead with two minutes left in the game. However, the team punted with two minutes left in the game, and Indiana marched down the field to get the go-ahead score and win. More postgame show coverageAfter the Postgame show, join interim head coach Terry Smith for his post game press conference on the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel as he gives his thoughts on the game.

That means this week, following a mostly successful trip to the U23 World Championships in late October, the Nittany Lions put out their new roster for the year. We cover all of that and more on a new episode of The Blue-White Illustrated Penn State wrestling show.Host Thomas Frank Carr and reporter Greg Pickel kick things off by looking back at U23 Worlds. Luke Lilledahl, Levi Haines, and Mitchell Mesenbrink all won gold medals. Freshman PJ Duke finished third then. Rocco Welsh, Marcus Blaze, and Josh Barr all also competed but ended up off the medal stand. Barr suffered an injury at U23 Worlds that ended his tournament early. The show uses that as a jumping off point to transition into a look at the 2025-2026 season and the new roster. A written version of our top takeaways is available here.From there, Carr and Pickel look ahead to the season that starts next Friday when Oklahoma comes to the Bryce Jordan Center.You can watch this week's BWI Penn State wrestling show in the embedded player in this article.
