Ethan Grunkemeyer News: Struggles during loss

Grunkemeyer completed 15 of 28 passes for 93 yards and two interceptions during Saturday's 25-24 defeat to Iowa. He also had six rushes for one yard.

Although the Nittany Lions were able to establish a running game, Grunkemeyer has a dreadful debut as the team's starting quarterback. With the team reeling from James Franklin's firing amid subpar play, it wouldn't be surprising to see the team turn Jaxon Smolik (wrist) if the injury he sustained against Iowa isn't serious.
