On this episode of the BlueWhite Tailgate Pawcast, we break down the controversial ending to Michigan – Western Michigan and debate whether the officials got the final-second clock decision right. Then we turn our attention to Penn State’s dominant 45-0 victory over Marshall and what the performance tells us about the start of the Matt Campbell era. We’ll dive into Rocco Becht’s impressive debut, Koby Howard’s breakout performance, and which other Nittany Lions made the biggest impact. We’ll also dive into the world of Penn State NIL with an in-depth interview with Happy Valley United Executive Director Mike Villagrana, discussing the current NIL landscape and its impact on Penn State football. Finally, we look ahead to Temple and discuss what Penn State needs to improve before the competition gets tougher. Is this team ready to make some noise under Matt Campbell?
