BWI Live: Penn State vs. Northwestern recap | 2024 Recruiting check-in
The Penn State Football team faced off against Northwestern on Saturday and returned with a 41-13 victory.

Today, we’ll discuss the Penn State offensive identity through the season’s first five games. We’ll pair that with the team philosophy and how the team’s complimentary football approach works right now.
