- QB/LB: QB Rocco Becht, OT Anthony Donkoh and LB Kooper Ebel are now 3-for-3 in being named Penn State game captains.

- Pick/market: Gameday bump and podcast recap this week, including some PFF insights.

- Pick/market: This is the Lions247 weather forecast for No.

- Pick/market: We're probably 6th in the B1G and 20ish nationally at the moment.

- QB/OL: Overall Grade B Minus - The team started slowly and didn’t take control until the third quarter.

- Penn State DE Max Granville is out for the season after a practice injury before Temple; LaVar Arrington II's reported absence is 4-6 weeks following late-camp cleanup surgery. At tackle, Alijah Carnell and Armstrong Nnodim dressed but did not play at Temple after missing Marshall. Matt Campbell said both will play against Buffalo; no workload was specified. - Lions247 projects Penn State to use primarily two linebackers, with Caleb Bacon working mainly at defensive end rather than SAM. That is the outlet's expectation, not an official weekly chart. Alex Tatsch returned for 24 Temple snaps after missing Marshall with an injury; Cam Smith missed Temple with an unspecified injury, with no return confirmed here. - Penn State's Zion Tracy started in the slot at Temple, playing 16 snaps there and 29 overall; Josiah Zayas had 14 slot snaps and 25 overall. Tracy has also played outside and wore a left-hand splint in the opener. Safety Jeremiah Cooper's workload grew from 12 to 34 snaps as he returns from injury, without an explicit full-health declaration. - Penn State tight end Gabe Burkle started at Temple and played 20 snaps, third most among the tight ends, after missing Marshall following an ACL recovery that limited spring and camp work. The unofficial chart gives Ben Brahmer, Andrew Rappleyea and Burkle shared first-line status. Cooper Alexander has missed action since camp with an injury. - Penn State's Dominic Rulli projects as the second center when healthy but has only played special teams against Marshall and Temple after offseason injury issues. Right tackle Owen Aliciene, dinged up late in camp, missed Marshall but returned for three late Temple snaps. Neither note establishes readiness for a full offensive workload.
