Beat the three powers, Rutgers, Maryland and Purdue.
At least a split with the teams without a pulse: Minnesota and Washington.
The BWICAC will then declare this an incredibly successful season and spend the off-season spinning tales of the legend of Coach Matt Campbell.

What were the odds on PSU losing four straight, three of which they were favored?
Implied odds of losing each game based on the closing line...
Michigan - 66.9%
USC - 51.08%
Northwestern - 41.7%
Wisconsin - 24%

Overall chance of going 0-4 = just over 3.4% (about an order of magnitude more than the chances of not winning another game)

And about the same as 4-8?!

I think we can win out. I don't see anyone else on our schedule that scares me except and I can't believe I"m sayin this but Rutgers could be an issue.
I would like to see our identity become a passing team. Bombs away in old Bombay.
I'll have what you're smoking

Why can't we vote for "excellence at the highest level?"
Because we are still trying for the "elite" promised by BJG the motormouth. While we "dominate the state".

Great coaches accomplish, then talk about it. Failures talk about it, "Success with honor", "We do things the right way", blah blah blah.

10 More Years!!!

Campbell is dominating the state. Did he get any recruits from pa? Virginia Tech is recruiting better than PSU. hahahaha

You sure talk a lot without saying anything. I'm sure you were one of those doing the talking instead of getting things done. It's no wonder you were so taken with BGJ, right up your alley. All show, no go.

Franklin was 4-4 thru his first 8 games at PSU with a 4 game losing streak. Can I assume you crapped all over him that season?
Oh yeah, I remember "coach" constantly on Franklin's ***. He's a fair guy. HaHaHa

He's more enamored with BGJ's show of greed, how he milked PS out of millions. A real backer of the program.

Not sure if he did but there were a whole lot at the Minny game in 2016 that wanted it done.
Its interesting though that I read an article about why more coaches aren't being fired and apparently no one wants to be us.

For the love of...
8-4 or 7-5 is better than last year...period
Nothing he can do is an incredibly successful season
They win out and there's still endless questions.
All 8-4 does assuming Howard is the catalyst is up NIL money to existing players. Changes nothing else

Franklin had a roster with 65 scholarship players and 4 offensive linemen when he got here. Remember the sanctions that limited us to 15 scholarships per year? How soon we forget. He also won a Big Ten Championship in his 3rd year.
I thought Campbell was hired to improve the program. You know, win the big game. I read it right here that he only had to show up to be better than Franklin at everything! How's that working out?

I don’t think the final record will change the overwhelming sense of failure this season has become. The remaining opponents are mostly 2nd tier and bottom dweller teams in 2026. Washington is a top tier program going through similar transition pains. Beating up the mediocre and weak teams and losing to the strong teams leaves Penn State in the same position it has been in since 2016. Not good enough.

On a more positive note, I do think Campbell deserves at least 2 more years to clean up a mess he inherited. I am hoping he has learned the hard way that 2nd tier players will not cut it in the B1G.
We’re a 2nd tier and bottom dwelling program…take the wins where you can get them.
