I spoke with rising 2027 athlete Matthew Gregory about his Penn State offer and visit this past weekend. He also discussed what is next for him in his recruitment.

"It felt amazing to get a Penn State offer because Penn State has been a team I’ve always looked at because I'm from Pennsylvania," Gregory told Rivals. "I love Penn State. I love the community and I like how Penn State is a winning football team."

More over at Rivals.com:

We fell slightly to 7 just because of how great the SEC appears to be
Nice to have a bye week then a game that should be over before the half. Chance to get some good reps

He was benched at halftime last week and I don’t think he played yesterday. I can’t imagine it’s very often that a high major team signs a QB that gets benched in the middle of their senior season.

Is there any doubt now after two games? With Carter at DE in the first half we gave up 24 points, and with Carter back at LB, INSTEAD of 0(who was a liability all day long, worse than 43), we give up 3, and that mainly because of an awful kickoff out of bounds. Move Smith Vilbert to the 1s, and play Abdul Carter back at his original LB spot, then turn him loose occasionally on blitzes.

1. Georgia
2. Ohio State
3. Texas
4. Ole Miss
5. Miami
6. Tennessee
7. USC
8. Alabama
9. Penn State
10. Utah

He actually has the first 3 tied at #1. He has Missouri, Michigan, Oregon, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma in the "almost" category. It's tough to argue with his picks.

Let’s watch how a senior laden team runs a lesser player out of the Stadium.

LMAO.

Especially given the way that game was called in secondary. That was beyond blatant DPI - the BGSU d-back literally ran over, and wrapped up, Evans without ever looking back for ball (Evans had gotten several yards behind him and had slowed to adjust to ball - Evans, unlike d-back was looking at ball the entire timel). The ball does hit the BGSU d-back's arm (his arm is wrapped around Evans chest and across his arms at the time the ball hits his arm), but it contacts defender well after the BGSU d-back has contacted, literally run over and wrapped up Evans. Utterly inexplicable non-call there.

Random thoughts:

BGSU did PSU a big favor playing so well in the first half and showing us how teams with a semi accurate QB are going to attack our defense. We moved Carter back to LB and played more 4/3 versus 5/2 and we slowed down the first down running and had more bodies in the short passing lane, making the short throws more contested in the 2nd half.

Had big hopes for DDS and he is playing ok, but not dominate yet. He did get a great shot from the back side yesterday and the ball shot way up in the air for a 7 yard completion. This was typical of some of the breaks that seemed to go to Bowling Green. DTs playing ok....not great but better in 2nd half. Vilbert should be seeing the field more at DE...perhaps freeing up Carter to freelance at LB like Micah Parsons role.

there were some ticky tack flags thrown on PSU like the TE holding on the screen pass that stopped a drive, the called back TD on OPI which was not needed by Evans....
It seemed as if BG could not stop PSU offense unless we had gave up a sack, had a penalty or dropped ball....the mistakes stopped our drives more often than a great play by BG....

Not sure about the interception in the endzone by Drew.....not sure who made the mistake there, but wow that was really the wrong time to make that throw. Lucky that the DB tried to be a hero and run out of the endzone.

PSU played a lot of bodies. We had 8 OL get time.....maybe a similar number of DBs played..... in a contested game. Cooper Cousins was on the field in the last 10 minutes of a tight game. Elliot Washington in during some key defensive stands......this will help down the road.

Thought that Drew Shelton played pretty well against WVU not as well yesterday. Donkoh got beat a few times with a speed rush. Thought that Rucci was our best tackle yesterday on both the right and the left side of the line. Guards seem very solid this year with Ioane and Wormley getting some push up front. have not noticed Dawkins so much, but often that is a good sign for Interior Offensive LIneman.

The catch that Singleton made for the touchdown will make him some money in the NFL. Singleton ran a great route, caught the perfect throw from Drew and scored the TD....a great call, great execution.

Allar made some throws yesterday that some NFL QBs cannot make and also threw a hanging deep ball to Harrison and a I don't know what he saw throw that was picked off in the end zone. Reminded me of S. Clifford playing well for 30 throws and then making 3 throws where you really are not sure what just happened.

The RBs are so good. Warren is so good. Allar is really good almost always. His interception in the end zone, I am going to chalk up to a wrong route or something cause that was not going to work.

The Defense in the first half played scared. WE kept our Safeties deep so far off of the line of scrimmage and BG never threw the ball further than 5 yards...... with our Safeties, Rojas and Dom we have the tools to cover a good TE, but yesterday their TE was running down the seem, out in the flat.....3 yards over the line of scrimmage without bodies draped all over him. Second half we seemed to make the shorter throws more challenging and forced BG to try to beat us deep. if you have confidence in your DB room...challenge them to play tight and stay with the WRs if they go deeper. With the 15 yard penalty for interference versus the spot foul in the NFL that is the correct strategy if you are the better team.

At half time we did seem to make some adjustments mostly on D as the offense seemed to work throughout the game. Nice to have confidence in our offense to be able to move the ball and put points on the board. Would like to see the offense spread the ball around against Kent State. We have somewhat proven that we can run the ball lets work on the Passing offense. Also have not shown our ability to run on 3rd and 2 or less....this o line does not seem to be a road grater line....more of an athleting line with the exception being Ioane at LG.

Watching ND lose, BAMA struggle until the 4th quarter, Oregon struggle shows that with the limited hitting in the off season and in camps teams are not ready to start in week 1 or even week 2. Would like to see PSU use the bye week to working on tackling......blocking and filling holes on the defense and more precision in the passing game on offense.

2-0.

Love had a sprained MCL and will be out 3-6 weeks. Sean Clifford is on practice squad and may get activated.

My son wants a PSU jersey and I went to the typical sites and they only sell jersey's with players name's on them? I get that some people may want that but they literally don't sell a version without a name on the back.

Any suggestions for a good site to buy a jersey?

Just got back from the game. Here’s a few things that concerned me on Defense:

-BG was able to run the ball today and I had hoped our more veteran and experienced DTs would resolve that issue. That’s going to be a problem in big games if it continues
-DEs - DDS doesn’t get much of a pass rush and looked to be 1:1 most of the day. Carter was better today but he’s certainly not dominant at this point. He also played some LB today. Backups didn’t do much.
-CBs - reminded me a bit of the Ole Miss game - we had a hard time covering them,often on 3rd down

I liked PSU's poise on offense when things weren't going there way defensively. The team never seemed to panic, get out of their gameplan and start trying to force the action offensively (which is often what causes teams to struggle offensively in these types of games imho). Team stayed poised and methodical which paid off in the 2H after defensive adjustments.

Offensively, the team played better than the stats and the b1g clown Officials were BGSU's best defender.

Reality is no one cares that we struggled yesterday. May move up or down a couple spots. The only issue is we need to clean stuff up. Still easily a playoff favorite especially if you watched other games yesterday

the two QBs are Lamar Jackson and Michael Vick wearing blue and white. I really like Beau. I think utilizing him this way is embarrassing.
