This week in Penn State talk
Penn State's offense has looked uneven in early wins, with Rocco Becht showing capability but inconsistency against Temple. The shows have focused on whether the new coaching staff under Matt Campbell can shore up defensive concerns heading into tougher matchups, while also highlighting some bright spots like Koby Howard's performance early in the season.
