LIVE: Rising Star GOES OFF For Penn State! — PSU Beats Marshall in Matt Campbell's Debut

Penn State football opened the Matt Campbell era with a statement win over Marshall at Beaver Stadium. Rocco Becht delivered a huge debut for the Nittany Lions, throwing four touchdown passes and commanding Matt Campbell and Taylor Mouser’s offense, while sophomore wide receiver Koby Howard emerged as the breakout star with 161 receiving yards and a touchdown.

On this LIVE postgame edition of Locked On Nittany Lions, Zach Seyko reacts to Penn State vs. Marshall and breaks down everything we learned from Campbell’s first game as Penn State head coach. How impressive was Becht? Has Howard officially emerged as Penn State’s No. 1 wide receiver? What should fans make of touchdown catches from Brett Eskildsen, Zay Robinson and Ben Brahmer, Quinton Martin’s impact in the running game and a dominant performance from D’Anton Lynn’s Penn State defense?

Plus, we discuss the biggest winners, surprises, concerns and takeaways from Penn State’s season-opening victory and what this performance tells us about the Nittany Lions heading into the rest of the 2026 college football season.
