Everything Penn State coach Matt Campbell said on Tuesday before Buffalo
Summary
  • In his Sept. 15 pre-Buffalo press conference, Matt Campbell said Penn State had used about five edge defenders with Max Granville available, with Liam a sixth rotational option. After Granville's loss, he expected opportunities for Jackson Ford and Liam. He also noted Ike's transition from three- and four-I alignments to the edge; he did not set a new snap allocation.

  • In his Sept. 15 review of the Temple game, Campbell described Penn State's corner rotation as roughly 30 snaps apiece, with Jahmir Joseph back in the mix. He said playing Zion at corner added flexibility and matchup options. This was the coach's account of that game's rotation, not a permanent snap cap or a new Sept. 20 availability ruling.

  • In his Sept. 15 Temple-film review, Campbell attributed most of Penn State's yards allowed after catches to three open-field missed tackles. Defenders attacked from the wrong side without accounting for their help. He said the staff had worked on those details at Sunday and Tuesday practices, identifying tackling angles rather than announcing new coverage.
