New Coach Alters Blue-White Game Format
25 Apr
Summary
- New coach Matt Campbell changes Blue-White Game to live practice.
- The event will not be televised or available via livestream.
- Start time moved up to 12:15 p.m. ET due to weather.

Penn State football is concluding its spring practice with the Blue-White event, but with a new format under head coach Matt Campbell. The traditional spring game has been reimagined as a live practice session, deviating from its typical high-attendance status. The initial part of the practice will involve standard drills, transitioning into a game-like scenario. However, the exact nature of the game play remains uncertain, and weather conditions could impact the schedule.
Fans hoping to watch the Blue-White Practice will find no television or livestream options available this year. Unlike previous years which sometimes featured Big Ten Network coverage, this event will be exclusive to those present in Beaver Stadium. Additionally, the start time has been advanced to 12:15 p.m. ET from its originally scheduled 1:00 p.m. start, a change made to anticipate incoming inclement weather.
