Penn State WR Koby Howard Making Good on Hype in Season Debut

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State found the endzone on its second possession of the game courtesy of a Rocco Becht to Koby Howard connection.

Becht marched the team down the field much like the first possession of the game, but was able to find Howard for a 42-yard reception.

Howard was often talked about last year, but never truly saw many opportunities on the field especially early on in the season. He did get more of a chance under Terry Smith, but wasn’t able to flourish as a freshman.

He has been Becht’s go-to target early on in this game and while it’s only Marshall, it’s still promising to see this level of chemistry early and often.
