Adam Breneman’s CFB Show 🏈

I played at Penn State, and this Whiteout is about much more than one game. Penn State is 0-2 in the Big Ten, and Matt Campbell needs a win over USC to build momentum for the future. Here’s what’s really at stake Saturday night.

Wake Forest has quietly become one of the best stories in college football. Jake Dickert has the Demon Deacons 13-5 and winning with less than almost anyone in the ACC. ⬇️⬇️

I’ve called games at all three Service Academies, and nothing in college football compares. Calling Navy-Air Force this weekend was another reminder that these games are about so much more than football. ⬇️⬇️

Saturday night’s Whiteout against USC is the type of game Penn State has to win, and one result could change the entire outlook of the season. ⬇️

Wake Forest doesn’t have the budget, roster, or resources of college football’s biggest programs. They just have Jake Dickert and a habit of beating teams that do. ⬇️

Penn State Is Struggling. Is It More The Offense Or The Defense? ⬇️⬇️

Kentucky has knocked off two top-10 teams in one month, and this doesn’t feel like a fluke. Here’s how Will Stein has built an entire program designed to sustain success in the SEC. ⬇️

Oregon State has one of the best stories in college football and might have the best duo in the country. Braden Atkinson x Jesse Legree… you’re now on notice!!! ⬇️⬇️

Penn State and Michigan are both winless in the Big Ten. Saturday in Ann Arbor is a must-win for two programs running out of room for error. I dug into Michigan’s numbers, and there’s a path for Penn State to get this season back on track. ⬇️⬇️

Matt Campbell built his identity as a coach on being able to run the football. Right now, Penn State can’t. The numbers in Big Ten play say this problem runs deep… ⬇️

Everyone knows Penn State’s defense has been a problem, but the numbers show just how deep it goes. Northwestern became the fifth team since 1947 to rush for 400 yards against Penn State. This defense has gone from allowing 7 points a game, to 30 points in conference play.

Oregon State has the country’s leading passer and receiver on the same offense. I had a front row to watch this show vs Texas Tech. A true freshman wide receiver nobody knew went for 240 yards that day, and I said it right then, a star had been born.

Penn State’s top two running backs have combined for 109 carries this season, yet neither has broken a 20 yard run. Michigan’s hasn’t had much more success. Here’s my Penn State @ Michigan preview.

I watched a true freshman wide receiver nobody had heard of go for 240 yards in person, and I said it right then, a star had been born. Six weeks later, he’s outproducing guys like Jeremiah Smith, and the entire country is starting to notice.

I brought on my former Penn State teammate @chackenberg1 to break down the state of Penn State football after another heartbreaking loss to Michigan dropped the Nittany Lions to 0-4 in the Big Ten. Hack and I know what it’s like to play for a first-year head coach when things aren’t going well. We went through it together in 2014 when James Franklin took over. We dive into what Hack would tell Rocco Becht right now, what’s gone wrong with this team & why this upcoming offseason could define the future of Penn State football. A lot to unpack with this program right now. ⬇️

I called BYU’s game against Colorado State and could tell right away this roster was built differently. A few weeks later, they beat a Notre Dame team that many picked to win the national championship. I think it’s time we start talking about BYU as a program with a blue-blood caliber roster.👇👇

BYU just beat the No. 2 team in the country, and you could argue it was one of their sloppiest games of the season. The scary part is that BYU hasn’t even played its best football yet. If this team cleans up those mistakes, nobody in the country is going to want to face them. ⬇️

Christian Hackenberg knows what it takes to be the starting quarterback at Penn State, and his biggest piece of advice for Rocco Becht right now is simple: manage the risk and don’t try to do too much. ⬇️

I’ve called games at four different Pac-12 stadiums this year, and I can tell you this conference is BACK. The talent in this league is no joke, and the rest of the country is starting to take notice. ⬇️

I was on that 2014 Penn State team that finished 7-6 with a bowl win, and it felt like real progress at the time. Last year, they fired James Franklin after a 3-3 start, just months removed from a trip to the college football playoff semifinal. For better or for worse, the standards at this program have changed completely over the past 10+ years.
