Penn State
Big Ten · 2026 season
The story so far
Penn State fans opened the Matt Campbell era euphoric after a 45-0 shutout, then turned on Campbell, Rocco Becht and AD Pat Kraft during four straight losses that pushed misery to 93. The Purdue win brought misery down to 54, though fans greeted it with relief and plenty of sarcasm.

Storylines
what fans talked about, week by weekEarly praise for a disciplined debut and sharp adjustments gave way to mockery of a 'Diet Iowa State' outfit, shaky game management and timeouts, and hot-seat talk as Campbell kept sticking with Becht.
“This is, without a doubt, the most well-coached, perfectly executed game of Penn State football I have ever seen in my life. 4 passing TDs for Rocco, no turnovers, the third string QB got playing time, and two takeaways from true freshmen on defense.”
