STATE COLLEGE – Shortly before coaching his first football game Saturday at Penn State, Matt Campbell stood and surveyed Beaver Stadium while trying to soak in the atmosphere.
He didn't feel the formidable responsibility of leading the Nittany Lions weighing on his shoulders. He felt more thankful than anything else.
"It was really special to come out, watch our fans and watch what this place feels like," Campbell said. "You look up and see those teams on the press box (suites above the east stands) and you think about some of the great coaches and players who have been here.
"You're just grateful to have the opportunity to lead this football team and represent this program the right way."
Campbell's debut in blue and white couldn't have gone better as Penn State routed Marshall 45-0 before an announced crowd of 108,489.
