What We Want To See From Penn State Following the Bye with Jon Sauber of the Centre Daily Times
Q: In your first year of covering the team under Matt Campbell, the new experience of the Matt Campbell regime, how has that kind of gone for you? And where are kind of in the big areas where it's like, this is different, maybe that means it's good, maybe that means it's bad, I don't know, but it's just different and it's something I could very noticeably see.
Sauber says Campbell is less focused on what reporters write or post, while still remembering direct interactions. He describes access as good and the media environment as less stressful and more consistent than under the previous coach.

Q: Daniel, 2025 vs 2026, which quarterback room do you prefer and why?
