Not to be out-shined, senior Dani Dennis-Sutton domianted against the Nevada offensive line. Dennis-Sutton collected one sack, two tackles for loss a pass breakup, a QB hit and forced two fumbles in a dominant performance to start the year. Nevada was able to keep the game somewhat respectable through the first half, largely thanks to the legs of quarterback Chubba Purdy. Purdy rushed 14 times for 55 yards including an explosive run that resulted in a redzone trip and a field goal early. However, Penn State's stingy coverage unit gave up little through the air with Purdy staying under 100 yards passing until late in the fourth quarter when the second string entered the game. Offense plays efficient game Senior quarterback Drew Allar wasn't flashy, but he was ultra-efficient in his day under center. He finished 22-26 for 217 yards and a touchdown in the win. His 85% completion percentage was one of his career highs, and Allar looked calm under pressure, delivering a touchdown strike to Kyron Hudson while rolling to his right in the second quarter. Of course, the biggest development was the team's passing game going through its wide receivers in the team's win. Trebor Pena caught seven passes on eight targets for 74 yards, and former USC Trojan Kyron Hudson caught six passes for 89 yards and a touchdown on the day. Late in the game, backup quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer shone on his fourth-quarter drive, going 4-6 with a beautiful strike to Khalil DInkins for 24 yards. He ended the drive with a six-yard touchdown scramble. BWI Postgame coverage Follow BWI's postgame coverage after the game.

While there are still loose ends in the Class of 2026, the team will focus heavily on 2027 to get a jump on the recruiting process for the next cycle. While we're in the middle of a two-month dead period, Ryan Snyder has been working ahead to secure the names of players who plan to attend Penn State in the fall. He's also been interviewing players to get to know their stories ahead of the mad dash to January. Join the BWI Live Show as we discuss those topics, plus the major news that Penn State missed out on its quarterback target of choice for 2027, Peter Bourque, this week. The BWI Live show airs at 10 a.m. on YouTube. You can join us to discuss your Penn State football recruiting thoughts and opinions by joining the live chat during the show. If you can't make the show live, you can always catch the show on replay in the channel, here in this article, or anywhere you get your podcasts. Penn State loses out in 2027 QB Dominoes Penn State Class of 2027 target Peter Bourque was a regular in Happy Valley over the last two summers. The New England native attended several camps and was clearly the team's top quarterback target for the upcoming cycle. It was a recruitment that most Penn State fans should have felt good about. Then, suddenly, Bourque committed to Michigan earlier this week. Or, at least that's how it felt. We'll discuss the situation with Snyder and what his read of Penn State's most recent QB recruiting loss means for the program. Where does the team turn next? We'll dive into the dominoes that are now falling for the top remaining targets for the next cycle. Also, after trying to recruit two quarterbacks for the last two cycles, can the team rebound and find two passers to join the ranks of the Nittany Lions signal callers? Penn State recruit and commit stories Snyder has spent the last several weeks getting in touch with recruits to get to know them and their plans for the fall better. We'll outline several of his conversations, including how the unlikely pair of PA safety Matt Seig and California QB Troy Huhn bonded in the Class of 2026. Finally, we'll preview the upcoming fall football season for the rising seniors and discuss which players Snyder thinks have the best chance of rising up the recruiting rankings to make Penn State's profile for this cycle look better than it currently is. Join the show live at 10 a.m. to discuss the latest Penn State recruiting news with BWI!#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 loses out on 2027 QB Target Peter Bourque | Who is next?

We'll also discuss which players are separating themselves among the offensive skill players, who worked with the top unit on Tuesday evening. Depth chart battles clearing up midway through camp Over the last two weeks, we've asked Penn State head coach James Franklin and his staff dozens of questions about the team's depth chart battles going on in camp. Today, we'll recap all that we've learned for fans by hearing directly from Franklin and his coaches. Who is standing out at wide receiver? Franklin gave some hints with the way he's talked about several players so far this summer. We'll also let you know how the battle for the running back three position is going, where the linebacker and safety battles stand, and more!

After those announcements in January and February, the team went further by adding three wide receivers in the winter and spring transfer portal. Now, the team has emerged from the offseason hype as the second-ranked team in the preseason AP Poll. What does this mean for the team's chances at making a postseason run? We'll discuss. Next, we'll dive right into camp observations from Thursday evening. The team hosted the media for an extended view of practice, including run game drills with the offensive and defensive line. We'll share feedback from practice to give fans a sense of what's going on with the team's trenches. Between the LinesNext, we'll discuss what players and coaches discussed with us during the post-practice interviews. Bauer will give us what coaches really mean by their comments in our recurring segment "Between the Lines." This week, he'll interpret what running backs coach Stan Drayton meant when speaking about his top running backs, Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton. We'll follow that up with Franklin's comments about the defensive tackle depth chart and where things stand with the d-line heading into the second half of training camp. Finally, he'll dissect what Franklin meant when outlining the team's "slow" start to camp. Join us at 10 a.m. to discuss all of 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/PennStateOn3

With most of the class wrapped up, it's time to look ahead to 2027. The rising juniors will be putting together the most important film of their high school careers for most of them as the majority of their offers will happen after this season. With that in mind, we're getting Penn State fans acquainted with the Pennsylvania players they need to know before that happens. Which prospects are at the top of the recruiting board? Which ones are on the rise and which ones are on the radar? Recruiting reporter Ryan Snyder will break all of that down for you today. Join the BWI Live Recruiting Show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube! If you can't make the show live, be sure to catch the replay anytime on our channel, embedded in this article, or anywhere you get your podcasts. Penn State recruiting newsDespite the dead period, there's plenty of Penn State recruiting news this week. Not all of it is good for the Lions, however. Top 2027 commit, Kemon Spell, has decided to take visits to other schools this fall. Snyder will break down what Spell told him on the matter and which schools Spell plans to visit. We'll also discuss the impact on recruiting and revisit the top reasons for hope in Spell's recruitment. Next, we'll discuss Penn State's other skill play committed for this cycle, Khalil Taylor.

Snyder will review the top targets we've discussed on the BWI Live Recruiting Show over several months. Then he'll dig deeper into the region for the players that are on the bubble this year, from a quality target to a high-priority prospect. Finally, he'll review the rest of the notable players that may not be on Penn State's radar, but could find their way to the table with a strong junior season. Lastly, we'll discuss the players who have already told BWI that they plan to attend the White Out Game against Oregon at the end of September. #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/PennStateOn3Getting to know the Penn State Recruiting Targets for 2027

However, there are still underrated aspects of the 2025 season that we'll discuss on today's show. With camp starting this week, we'll dive into a few of those topics to begin the show. We'll also outline our broad expectations for what we think of training camp this Fall. Penn State depth chart battles: Defensive edition We focused exclusively on Penn State's receiver position on Tuesday's show.

Blue White Illustrated sent Greg Pickel. Today, Pickel joins the show to discuss what he saw and heard from the quartet of Nittany Lions and the rest of the assembled representatives of other schools. He'll discuss what Oregon players think about their upcoming trip to Happy Valley for the 2025 White Out, what Drew Allar had to say in his podium appearance, how the team is the conference favorite this year, and other topics. Between the LinesNext, we'll discuss what Franklin had to say in detail in his media roundtable appearance.

Lastly, we'll preview the nickel cornerback competition and which players we think are battling for the 11th position on the Penn State defense. #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

Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqKCheck out the site too! - https://bit.ly/3u8dilDPenn State quarterback Drew Allar is one of the most polarizing players on the team's roster. The senior quarterback is a major driving force behind the program's preseason prediction by many outlets to win the Big Ten Championship. Despite that, parts of his own fan base view him as a limiting factor because of the way he played in big games last year. So, before Penn State has its turn on the stage at the Big Ten Media Days in Indianapolis and unofficially kicks off the start of the 2025 season, we're taking one last look back at its performance against Ohio State and Oregon in 2024. Join the BWI Live Show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube to get a rare sneak peek into our premium content as we discuss a series of articles on the site from this week outlining how Allar performed based on advanced data. If you can't catch the show live, be sure to catch the replay on the channel, in this article, or wherever you get your podcasts. Trying to strip away the emotion of a Penn State loss Fans can point to any number of critical plays or turning points in the games against Ohio State and Oregon as the "reason" that Penn State lost. We can also blame the defense, receivers, or other parts of the offense beyond the quarterback. It's an impossible task, but the plan for these articles was to remove those elements and focus solely on Allar's performance in those games. We also try to establish a baseline of comparison for Allar's performance. After all, the Buckeye and Duck defenses were two of the better units in the conference last year. We'll try to establish a baseline of their performance by context and comparison to the rest of the conference, and then compare Allar's performance to how that unit forced quarterbacks to play. Play under pressure and within a pressure environment Next, we'll look at how pressure affected Allar during these two games and the playoffs overall. Pressure means more than one thing. First, we'll look  at how Penn State's starting quarterback played with direct game pressure, as in when a defender was about to tackle him in the pocket. Next, we'll try to sniff out the pressure of the moment. Big games create a form of energy in their own right and can affect a player's normal performance. So, we'll look at Allar's play when in a clean pocket and compare that to season averages in both situations. Finally, we'll take that pressure data and compare Allar's playoff performance to his regular season performance. Big Ten Media Day SchedulePenn State head coach James Franklin will speak today in Las Vegas, and Blue White Illustrated will have you covered! Hear his comments on our YouTube Channel after he's done speaking with the media. We'll also have a recap from reporter Greg Pickel, who is out in Vegas covering the event.

We'll preview the next round of camp position battles that will take place in late July and through August. Today, we'll look at some of the more interesting battles that may or may not materialize through camp. We'll start with the deepest position on the roster: the running back room. There's no question who will start for the Nittany Lions, but who will back up Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen as the third running back? We'll look at the three or four primary candidates to fill in behind the superstar duo and discuss what each player can bring to the table. Next, we'll look at a surprising situation brewing on the right side of the offensive line. Will offensive line coach Phil Trautwein find a way to get both right tackles Nolan Rucci and Anthony Donkoh on the field? If he does, what does that mean for the rest of the line? We'll look at the men up front to give fans some insight into the battles on the right side. Summer conversation series Bauer continued detailing his conversations with Penn State's top brass this summer this week. Today, we'll ask him about his most recent articles, detailing his conversation with Franklin, including how Franklin processed the loss to Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl and what Franklin thinks about various positional groups on the 2025 roster. Join the show live at 10 a.m. on YouTube to be part of the show!
