The Penn State Nittany Lions Football team is 10-1 after a win over Minnesota on the road this past weekend. The team enters the final week of the regular season against a 4-7 Maryland team on the cusp of its first-ever College Football Playoff bid. But not everything went smoothly in Minnesota this past weekend. The team suffered a significant blow on both sides of the line of scrimmage, losing players to long-term injuries. On today’s BWI Live Show, we’ll discuss the win, the injuries to Anthony Donkoh and Alonzo Ford, and your questions throughout the show.

Join us live at 10 a.m. on YouTube to get your thoughts and questions on the show via the live chat. We’ll also feature questions from the Blue White Illustrated message board in the BWI Mailbag to end the show.

Penn State vs. Minnesota recap

Penn State defeated Minnesota 26-25 on Saturday in a closer-than-anticipated outcome. The victory also came with a costly price. Penn State head coach James Franklin announced that both starting right tackle Anthony Donkoh and key reserve defensive tackle Alonzo Ford sustained long-term injuries during the win.

How does Penn State replace them for the coming game against Maryland and beyond? We’ll discuss the impact of the loss and the long-term implications of losing a player in Ford that many expected to start in 2025.

From there, we’ll discuss the rest of the game and what we might have learned since re-watching the game.
