Penn State struggles in college football amid coaching transition

Penn State faces challenges in the 2026 season, standing at 0-2 in Big Ten play after a disappointing 2025 campaign. The Nittany Lions began the season positively with three non-conference wins but have since suffered losses to Wisconsin and Northwestern. This follows a tumultuous period marked by a six-game losing streak in 2025, prompting the firing of head coach James Franklin. Matt Campbell from Iowa State is now leading the team, but the timing of his hiring has left Penn State lagging behind in the transfer portal. Upcoming matchups, including a key game against USC, will be critical for the Nittany Lions to turn their season around.
