Show notes

Matt Campbell's first Penn State football season is here, and expectations should be high in 2026. In this complete Penn State season preview, Zach Seyko breaks down why this roster looks more like a reload than a rebuild, the identity I expect from Rocco Becht and the Nittany Lions, and the biggest misconceptions surrounding Campbell's Iowa State transfers. Then we go through the 2026 schedule, including the defining stretch against Wisconsin, Northwestern, USC and Michigan, before making game-by-game predictions and projecting Penn State's final record and College Football Playoff chances. Plus: team MVPs, breakout candidates and projected statistical leaders including Carson Hansen, Chase Sowell, Tony Rojas, Max Granville and Jeremiah Cooper. What is your Penn State record prediction?
