2 Penn State Seniors Trending Up, Another Down Before Ohio State Game
Penn State faces a difficult challenge to find positives in its final five games this season. Two Indiana games are up next, followed by more manageable matchups against Michigan State, Nebraska, and Rutgers. The Nittany Lions need to win at least three of these to become bowl-eligible.
Even if they qualify for a bowl game, the focus will primarily remain on finding a new head coach in Happy Valley. Therefore, the remaining games serve two main purposes: identifying young players to prioritize for retention and allowing senior standouts to demonstrate their value for the NFL.
Players Trending Up
Koby Howard, Freshman Wide Receiver
Penn State's passing offense ranks 110th nationally, needing an injection of talent. The anticipated impact from transfer players Kyron Hudson, Trebor Peña, and Devonte Ross has not materialized. Freshman Koby Howard is expected to play a bigger role this week to improve the passing attack.
Interim coach Terry Smith stated, "Howard and redshirt freshman Tyseer Denmark will see more time in the receiving corps moving forward."
