How to Maximize Penn State in College Football 26
Run the rock: Allen and Singleton are both top-tier backs — rotate them to keep defenses guessing.
Play-action attack: With Allar’s rating and Ross and Pena out wide, your vertical passing game is lethal.
Dominate the trenches: Ioane, Rucci, and Shelton give you an O-line that can win one-on-ones all game.
Defensive flexibility: Dennis-Sutton and Durant anchor a strong front. Harris and Wheatley let you get aggressive with blitzes, knowing your back end can hold up.
Penn State has elite balance for any play style. A powerful running game, a proven QB, solid protection up front, and one of the better defensive front sevens in the game make the Lions a serious Dynasty Mode contender.
