Inconsistencies Plague the Run Game
Penn State coach Matt Campbell tied the team's uneven start in conference play to a lack of clear identity, especially in running the ball. He noted that problems stretch across the board and have prevented the squad from operating in rhythm. The issues showed up in limited rushing output during a loss to Wisconsin and a lopsided rushing margin in a defeat at Northwestern. Those results left the group unable to dictate game situations over the most recent six quarters of play.
Building Standards While Facing Adversity
Now five games into his first season at the helm, Campbell stressed that the program is still establishing standards and expectations. He views the current challenges as a necessary step toward growth and said the focus must shift to how the team responds on the field. Penn State will host No. 19 USC on Saturday night looking to avoid a second straight 0-3 mark in Big Ten action.
