Penn State enters its bye week 3-4 and winless in the Big Ten. From their lack of a running game to defense carrying the load, these numbers explain why the Nittany Lions have struggled this season.

Campbell doesn’t plan to bring in backup quarterback Alex Manske, though the head coach said “his time will come.” Also, Koby Howard is considered questionable against Purdue on Oct. 31.

Becht’s struggle in Big Ten play has become the storyline of Penn State’s season as it dropped to 0-4 against conference opponents. However, Campbell has no intentions to bench his starter.

The Wolverines scored all 21 points off Penn State turnovers to pull away and send the Nittany Lions back to State College with a 0-4 record.

Both programs enter Saturday's game in Ann Arbor without a Big Ten win with new head coaches. “We’re a run game without an identity," Penn State offensive coordinator Taylor Mouser said.

Anthony Becht played 11 years as an NFL tight end. Now an UFL head coach, Becht can watch his son, Rocco, quarterback Penn State. "We’re about as close, father, son, best friends," Becht said.

Despite major expectations entering the season, Penn State is 0-3 in the Big Ten and tied with Maryland, Washington and Michigan State at the bottom of the league.

Saturday’s White Out against the Trojans could get hostile. But it’s also the best chance Penn State might have to get a signature win this season to keep any playoff hopes alive.

Without McKenna, the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft, along with their top two goal-scorers, the Nittany Lions don’t enter with the high expectations of last season. And that’s OK with them.

Quarterback Rocco Becht struggled again as the Nittany Lions fell to 0-2 in conference play. Coach Matt Campbell said "they played the game, the style of game, that obviously we would like to play."

Quarterback Rocco Becht was one of the players who spoke during Monday's players-only meeting and emphasized that it was about understanding another rather than finding a solution.

Since its matchup with Temple, Penn State has struggled to finish drives in the end zone. Rocco Becht and the offense look to show what they're capable of Friday night against Northwestern.

Penn State took the biggest fall, going from No. 13 to unranked after losing to Wisconsin at home.

Wisconsin quarterback Colton Joseph found tight end Jacob Harris for a 72-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter to give the Nittany Lions their first loss of the season.

Matt Campbell is preparing Penn State for its first Big Ten matchup of the season, but will be without its top offensive playmaker and face tougher competition upfront.

Mississippi has moved into the top five of the AP Top 25 college football poll with its win over LSU. Penn State moved up one spot after its dominant win over Buffalo.

The sophomore receiver has 344 receiving yards and three total touchdowns so far this season. He’s on pace to break the Nittany Lions’ single-season receiving yards record.

After offensive coordinator Taylor Mouser called the Nittany Lions' run game "mediocrity," they responded to the tune of 304 rushing yards vs. Buffalo, led by Quinton Martin Jr.'s 100-yard game.
