Penn State is 4-4 and visits Washington on November 7 at 3:30 p.m. ET on FS1. Tuesday’s public word on Sowell is probable and on Howard is questionable. That is Campbell, via On3, not an official report.
Against Purdue, Becht completed 16 of 24 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown, and he scored on a 6-yard run. Campbell backed him as the starter on October 20.
Postgame notes say Wallace made his first career start against Purdue: 22 carries, 135 yards and a 2-yard touchdown. Hansen added 96 yards on 17 carries and a 1-yard touchdown.
Penn State held Purdue to 33 rushing yards. Patton and Cooper intercepted passes, and Kemajou recorded a sack. That is one game, not a new official two-deep.

Alex Manske followed the staff from Iowa State and gives the room a developmental option behind Becht.

Becht was 16 of 24 for 175 yards with a 4-yard touchdown pass to Andrew Rappleyea. Tuesday’s receiver words are not an official two-deep.
