Penn State linebacker Kooper Ebel notes crowd impact at Beaver Stadium

Penn State linebacker Kooper Ebel praised the atmosphere at Beaver Stadium following the team's 45-0 win over Marshall in the season opener. While Ebel expressed gratitude for the energy provided by the home crowd, he noted that the high decibel levels created communication challenges for the defense. Despite the difficulties in calling defensive plays, Ebel finished the game with three tackles, one pass breakup, and a half tackle for loss. The performance was part of a successful outing for the Penn State linebacker group, which saw Tony Rojas lead the team in tackles and Caleb Bacon contribute effectively in a hybrid role. Penn State is scheduled to play its next game on the road, moving away from the environment of Beaver Stadium.
