PREDICTION: Penn State Has a Chance to Turn Temple Into Another Marshall Game!

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 01:00:00 GMT

Penn State heads to Philadelphia to face Temple, and the matchup strongly favors the Nittany Lions. Zach Seyko explains why he has Penn State winning 49–7, including Temple's banged-up offensive line, the ongoing Jaxon Smolik–Ajani Sheppard quarterback situation and how D'Anton Lynn could attack the Owls' protection.

Plus, how Koby Howard's breakout changes the way Temple can defend Rocco Becht, why Carson Hansen, James Peoples and the Penn State running backs have a bounce-back opportunity, and which young players — including Josiah Zayas — could earn important early-season reps.

What will Penn State's game plan look like on both sides of the ball, and can Temple keep this competitive?

Drop your score prediction below.

BIG 10 SQUAD: Week 1 CONTROVERSY | What happened to Michigan?

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 21:00:00 GMT

Controversy rocks the Big Ten as Michigan escapes Western Michigan with a wild, disputed win—will the College Football Playoff Committee remember? The Big 10 Squad debates the infamous “Clockgate,” field stormings, and the reputation of officiating when blue blood programs are on the line.

Hosts preview marquee matchups: Ohio State vs. Texas and Michigan vs. Oklahoma have the Big Ten’s reputation hanging in the balance. Can Ryan Day’s Buckeyes outduel Arch Manning’s Longhorns? Is Bryce Underwood’s starting job in trouble as Michigan faces a ferocious Sooners defense? Rapid-fire picks, inside jokes, and sharp takes fuel the squad’s preview of CyHawk rivalry, Minnesota vs. Mississippi State, and Illinois vs. Duke. Can the Big Ten show out in huge non-conference tests, or is another shakeup on the horizon?

Michigan's Controversy Exposed a Bigger College Football Problem — Early College Football Takeaways

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 09:00:00 GMT

Michigan's controversial win over Western Michigan has become one of the biggest stories in college football — and the fallout now includes expanded Big Ten replay transparency.

Zach Seyko of Locked On Nittany Lions and Jacob Goins of Locked On Hoosiers break down what Week 1 actually revealed about the Big Ten, including Michigan's disputed finish, Rutgers' disastrous loss to UMass, Oregon's scare against Boise State and the upcoming Ohio State-Texas showdown.

They also dive into LSU's battle with the SEC over former NFL players and why Lane Kiffin's willingness to push college football's rules may be exposing a much bigger governance problem across the sport.

Should Michigan's win be held against the Wolverines by voters and the College Football Playoff committee?

Let us know below.

Penn State & Matt Campbell Just Got GREAT News About Their Playoff Chances!

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 09:00:00 GMT

Penn State’s path to the College Football Playoff may have become significantly easier after just one week.

The Nittany Lions dominated Marshall 45-0, while Michigan needed a controversial extra second and a last-play Hail Mary to survive Western Michigan. Washington also struggled to pull away from Washington State, raising new questions about Penn State’s most difficult remaining road games.

Zach Seyko and Pat Koerbler (https://x.com/Poerbler) break down why the schedule suddenly looks more manageable, what Michigan’s offensive issues could mean for the October matchup in Ann Arbor and whether an 11-1 Penn State team would be a playoff lock.

Plus, Matt Campbell provided injury updates on Gabe Burkle, Alex Tatsch and LaVar Arrington II ahead of Penn State’s road game against Temple.

FALL '26 Episode 10: Philadelphia Freedom

Big Heads Media — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 04:01:00 GMT

For the moment at least, the bad memories were banished - the lengthy, lingering shadows of a shattered season ripe with promise, a messy divorce rife with mutual recrimination and the ensuing miserable slog of a coaching search riddled with dead ends and false starts, an offseason loaded with uncertainties and a chorus of skeptics ritually chanting "Iowa State East" - all were swept away like so much dust on the wind in one breezy, sun-drenched afternoon in Happy Valley. As a blissfully relaxed, near-capacity crowd slowly filed out of Beaver Stadium while home team salted away a 45-0 season-opening win, the simplest question haunting an interminably long offseason had been answered: Yes, the Penn State Nittany Lions could still play football, and they were going to be just fine, in fact.

With the fandom still milking that sugar high, Matt Campbell takes his team on the road for the first time, looking to exorcise some demons of the deeper past. The Lions return to Lincoln Financial Field for the first time since their infamous 10-sack humbling at the hands of alumnus and Letterman Matt Rhule's 2015 Temple team. That was then. Coach and school have long since parted ways and neither's fortunes have improved since that day destined to pass into the annal of Owl legend. Today, it is Penn State, no longer hobbled by sanctions and newly relieved of its more recent doubts, that once again looks to hold the upper hand.

With half the usuals off pursuing solo projects, the rare Noble-Buchignani tandem wraps up the satisfying win over Marshall and look ahead to the team's trip to Philly.

Matt Campbell Says he was "TICKED" During Penn State's Win + Injury Report Updates for Temple!

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Matt Campbell was “ticked off” during Penn State’s 45-0 victory over Marshall—and his reason explains the standard he is trying to establish in Happy Valley.

Penn State entered halftime with three unused timeouts after failing to regain possession. Zach Seyko explains why that seemingly minor sequence could become much more important against USC, Michigan, Washington and the rest of the Big Ten schedule.

Campbell also provided an updated Penn State injury report before Temple. We break down the latest on LaVar Arrington II, Alex Tatsch, Gabe Burkle, Jeremiah Cooper, Zion Tracy, Owen Aliciene, Armstrong Nnodim and Elijah Reeder—and which updates actually matter most for the Nittany Lions’ depth chart.

Was Campbell right to be frustrated after a 45-0 win? Leave your take in the comments.

What Koby Howard’s Breakout Means for Penn State’s Offense 👀

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 09:00:00 GMT

Penn State wide receiver Koby Howard exploded for six catches, 161 yards and a touchdown against Marshall, earning the highest single-game PFF grade by a Nittany Lions receiver during the PFF era.

But does that make Howard Penn State’s new No. 1 wide receiver?

Zach Seyko explains what Howard’s breakout really changes for Rocco Becht, Chase Sowell, Benjamin Brahmer and the rest of Penn State’s passing attack. Plus, what the balanced workloads for Carson Hansen, James Peoples, Quinton Martin Jr. and Cam Wallace reveal about the running-back depth chart.

Finally, Penn State’s dominant opener—and difficult Week 1 performances from Michigan and Washington—may have significantly improved the Nittany Lions’ path to the College Football Playoff.

Who should be considered Penn State’s WR1 right now?
