Buckle up for the Hardcore Penn State Football Podcast as we unpack the gut-wrenching 30-24 double-overtime loss to No. 6 Oregon in Week 6's White Out thriller at Beaver Stadium! In front of a shattering 111,015 fans clad in white, the Nittany Lions (3-1, 0-1 Big Ten) fought valiantly in a rematch of last year's Big Ten Championship but couldn't overcome offensive woes, a toothless defense, and another signature defeat for James Franklin. Oregon (5-0, 2-0) extends its regular-season Big Ten win streak to 12, but PSU's playoff dreams took a hit. We're dissecting the film, the what-ifs, and the path forward—because even in defeat, We Are! Drew Allar's rollercoaster season hit a devastating low in the White Out spotlight, completing just 18-of-35 passes for 212 yards, 2 TDs, and one crushing interception—a game-sealing pick on his first throw of the second overtime that handed Oregon the win. The senior flashed poise with a 42-yard bomb to Devonte Ross and a clutch two-minute drill to tie it late, but his streaky arm (underthrows to Trebor Peña, forced throws into double coverage) and footwork issues under pressure from Oregon's front seven led to a season-low 51% completion rate. After 722 yards and 7 TDs through three games, Allar's boom-or-bust pattern is now a glaring concern—can he lock in before Ohio State, or is this the regression we feared? Penn State's vaunted defense, which suffocated Nevada, FIU, and Villanova, was shockingly passive against Oregon's tempo offense, mustering only one tackle for loss while allowing 428 total yards and 5.2 yards per carry. The unit bent but rarely broke—holding the Ducks to 3-of-12 on third downs but lacked the disruptive edge from Zuriah Fisher (just 2 tackles) and Tony Rojas (8 stops but no splash plays). In double OT, Oregon's explosive runs and Dante Moore's poise exposed coverage lapses, leading to back-to-back TDs. Under DC Jim Knowles, this was a wake-up call: Where was the swarm we saw in the shutouts? James Franklin's 4-12 lifetime record against top-10 foes (now 4-13 after this gut-punch) looms larger than ever, as Oregon blew a 17-10 fourth-quarter lead and but PSU couldn't close in OT despite a roaring White Out crowd that forced two false starts on the Ducks. Franklin's conservative calls—settling for Ryan Barker's career-long 49-yarder early and punting on 4th-and-2—drew post-game heat, and his teams' 1-5 mark in OT games since 2014 feels cursed. Despite a gritty comeback capped by Kaytron Allen's 4-yard OT TD run (he and Nicholas Singleton combined for 142 rushing yards), Franklin admitted the execution fell short. With a loaded schedule ahead, can he finally exorcise these October demons and salvage a playoff run? Hats off to Oregon's dynamic duo—head coach Dan Lanning schemed a masterpiece, bottling PSU's run game (3.8 yards per carry) with aggressive blitzes and tempo shifts that neutralized the Lions' O-line. Transfer QB Dante Moore was unflappable in the cauldron, going 22-of-30 for 285 yards and 3 TDs (including a 25-yard OT dagger to Gary Bryant Jr. and an 8-yarder to Dierre Hill Jr.), while adding 42 rushing yards to cap a 54-point-per-game Ducks offense. Lanning's staff turned the White Out into a house of horrors for Penn State, proving Oregon is the Big Ten's new alpha and a legit national title contender. Respect earned—now how does PSU respond? The loss drops PSU to No. 7 in the AP Poll, but with winnable games against UCLA and Northwestern next, there's time to climb back into playoff contention. We're analyzing the offensive line, debating Allar's benching buzz, and previewing how the D-line can rediscover its edge.

On the Clock, No Huddle CFB, and Allar vs Manning Debate - T H2

Pitt blew a 17-point first quarter lead and fell apart in the 4th quarter. Can Pitt win four more games to reach bowl eligibility? West Virginia has lost by a combined 65 points the last two weeks. Austin officially breaks up with Drew Allar, for now. Austin is 95% out on Allar being the Steelers quarterback. Austin said before the game this game would define him, it has.

Hour 3 with Donny Football: Pitt blew a 17-point first quarter lead and fell apart in the 4th quarter. Austin officially breaks up with Drew Allar, for now. Austin is 95% out on Allar being the Steelers quarterback and really likes Allar's talent, but is concerned if he can finally get over this hump with Franklin. The Pirates have extended manager Don Kelly. Kelly went 59-65 with the Pirates as manager. Marc-Andre Fleury played his final game in Pittsburgh on Saturday and made eight saves, not allowing a goal.

The key to the 2025 White Out is how Drew Allar will play. Tengwall doesn't think the passing game has played well enough. It's Jim Knowles' first big game coaching as Penn State's defensive coordinator. Landon thinks the atmosphere can play a big factor on Saturday. Landon called it absolutely a must-win game for James Franklin and Allar.

Hour 2 with Donny Football: Ray said Art Rooney addressed the team on Monday regarding how much this Ireland game means to the Steelers. They want to win the game very badly, but injuries are still a concern on defense. Former Penn State offensive lineman and current analyst Landon Tengwall joined the show. The key to the 2025 White Out is how Drew Allar will play. Landon called it absolutely a must-win game for James Franklin and Allar.

Get ready for the Hardcore Penn State Football Podcast as we preview the electric White Out clash between No. 3 Penn State and No. 6 Oregon this Saturday, Sept. 27 at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC's Big Ten Saturday Night! The 3-0 Nittany Lions, fresh off blowouts over Nevada (46-11), FIU (34-0), and Villanova (52-6), face their toughest test yet in a rematch of last year's 28-24 Big Ten Championship thriller. With Beaver Stadium set to erupt in the 2025 White Out, this game could propel PSU back to No. 1 and cement their playoff path. Joined by special guest Donnie Collins, we're breaking down Drew Allar's defining moment, James Franklin's big-game legacy, and why the line of scrimmage will decide it all. #WeAre ready—let's dive in! This is it—Drew Allar's chance to silence doubters under the White Out lights. The senior QB has shown flashes of brilliance (722 yards, 7 TDs, 65.3% completion through three games) but struggled with streaky play, including a costly pick against Villanova. Facing Oregon's top-15 secondary, led by young but talented corners, Allar must stay poised to hit Kyron Hudson and Trebor Peña downfield while avoiding the turnovers that plagued PSU's 0-2 record against top-10 teams last year. A clean game could vault Allar into Heisman talks and prove he's the QB to lead Penn State to a national title. We're analyzing his progress post-BYE and what he needs to do to outduel Oregon's dual-threat signal-caller. James Franklin is 4-12 against top-10 opponents since 2016. With a 3-0 start and a defense allowing just 5.7 points per game, this is Franklin's chance to flip the narrative in a game Vegas lists as a slight Penn State favorite. Can he scheme up a plan to exploit Oregon's 20% explosive play rate while keeping PSU's offense (averaging 44 points) humming? We're debating Franklin's game plan, from leaning on Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen's ground attack to unleashing DC Jim Knowles' turnover-hungry defense (6 forced turnovers in 2025). We're pumped to have friend of the podcast Donnie Collins, veteran Penn State beat writer and co-host of Penn Stated, drop by for exclusive insights! Donnie breaks down the X's and O's, focusing on Drew Allar's performance. He'll also share stories from covering PSU's iconic White Outs and weigh in on whether Allar's poise and Franklin's play-calling can outmatch Dan Lanning's Ducks, who enter 4-0 after crushing foes 162-30.

Welcome back to the Hardcore Penn State Football Podcast for our ultimate hype show ahead of No. 3 Penn State's electric White Out clash with No. 6 Oregon on Saturday, Sept. 27 at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC's Big Ten Saturday Night! Fresh off a 3-0 start with blowouts over Nevada (46-11), FIU (34-0), and Villanova (52-6), the Nittany Lions head into this rematch of last year's Big Ten Championship (which PSU won 28-24) as slight favorites in a game that could catapult them to No. 1. Beaver Stadium will transform into a sea of white under the lights, with over 108,000 fans creating college football's most intimidating atmosphere. We're breaking down keys to victory, special guest insights, and why this is must-win for James Franklin's squad. It's back where it belongs—primetime against a top-10 powerhouse! The 2025 White Out, turns West Shore Home Field at Beaver Stadium into a deafening whiteout spectacle. PSU is 13-8 all-time in White Outs, including six straight wins since 2019, and Oregon's players have already called it a "bucket-list game." Expect fireworks, synchronized chants, and a crowd that rattles even the most seasoned Ducks. This isn't just a game; it's a statement to reclaim Big Ten dominance after Oregon's 13-1 campaign last year. We're thrilled to welcome Dale Bliss, Autzen Zoo writer, for an in-depth chat on this matchup! Bliss provides a behind enemy lines look at the Oregon Ducks, who won their rivalry game last week with ease. Forget the hype—victory comes down to the trenches in this heavyweight slugfest. Penn State's elite D-line, led by Dani Dennis-Sutton (4 sacks, 3 forced fumbles) and a disruptive Zane Durant, must neutralize Oregon's explosive offense, which has averaged 54 points per game while crushing foes 162-30 to start 4-0. On the flip side, PSU's O-line faces Lanning's aggressive front—can they avoid the missed assignments that plagued early drives and give Allar clean pockets? Drew Allar vs. Oregon's secondary: will they let him run the ball? PSU's secondary vs. Ducks QB Dante Moore. Special teams shoutout: Gabe Nwosu's leg and Ryan Barker's boot could flip field position in a close one. With both teams unbeaten, a Lions W vaults them to No. 1 and sets up a monster Ohio State rematch.

Things Discussed: Biff Poggi love: We don't often get honesty about what they did wrong. Let Underwood cook? Not sure if it's going to hold up because people revert to learned behaviors when stress gets high. It's easy against Central. We saw enough that Oklahoma should be a blip: the RPOs are real, the zone reads are real. QB run game: Forces defenses to make themselves easier to read, because they have to play 11-on-11 unless they can two-gap at the DT spots. Oklahoma and Nebraska are good at messing with a quarterback's reads, and Bryce wants to make them quickly. Take away their options and you give Bryce a true read. Nebraska's defense is all about generating confusion. Bryce running early on pass reads: good thing, do it. When he's hitting a DB he's the one causing punishment. Also nerfs pass rush: remember how Michigan played Sean Clifford in 2021 and teed off when Allar came on. Haynes: been good but frustrating—sometimes he's great in pass pro but he had another handful of purse-swinging. Guy got sick of blocking for his QB at Alabama? I'm sure part of the reason he came here in the first place is he was sick of being a lead blocker for Jalen Milroe. Defensively: Barham at the Jake Ryan job was eye-opening. If you can't roll out against a defense they can front the edge on stretch and the running game is dead too. Replacing Nichols snaps with Barham at edge also gets Rolder/Sullivan on the field. Favorite Barham play: he grabs the RB as he's forcing a give on zone read so he can go back to tackling that guy. Caveat: that's the worst running back we're going to play this season. QB run game vs Michigan: isn't any one thing, but biggest issue was Rolder not fitting it. He had an up and down game where he (3/6 first downs, maybe 4 were on him), while Sullivan found the guy to hit, but had a few looks at it first. If you're a senior you can't be ahead of that guy and be making mistakes. Nebraska preview: They played Cincy (no pass game) and two teams CMU would trounce. Their run D is permeable: defense plays very small, wants to confuse you, make your RB slow down to find his gaps and blocks, and rally from the secondary. You can really gash them. It's a bad matchup for Nebraska: Michigan's OL is good at ID'ing their blocks and wants to play heavy and hit you quickly in the run game and confuse coverage reads. The 2023 game was a blowout because if you have linemen who can ID their blocks you destroy the basis of their system. Would be a good game to have El-Hadi back; Efobi is probably going to have a rough outing.

Join the Hardcore Penn State Football Podcast as we break down No. 2 Penn State's commanding 52-6 victory over Villanova in Week 3 at Beaver Stadium! The Nittany Lions surged to 3-0 behind a ferocious defense and a balanced offensive attack, piling up 500+ total yards while limiting the Wildcats to just 182. With a well-timed BYE week ahead of the Big Ten opener against No. 6 Oregon, this blowout keeps PSU firmly in the playoff conversation—but not without some lingering concerns. We're unpacking the film, the highlights, and what needs fixing to stay elite. Let's roll! Drew Allar put up solid numbers against Villanova—24-of-32 for 280 yards and three TDs—but his streaky tendencies reared their head again, including a first-half interception on a forced checkdown that Omari Bursey snagged for the Wildcats' lone early momentum shift. Allar bounced back with dimes to Trebor Peña (23-yard TD) and Kyron Hudson, but the boom-or-bust pattern—elite lasers mixed with underthrows and hesitation under light pressure—has fans asking: Has he regressed from preseason hype, or is this just Week 3 rust against an FCS foe? With Oregon's pass rush looming, Allar's consistency will be make-or-break. Penn State's defense is a juggernaut, holding Villanova to 2-of-12 on third downs, 3.2 yards per carry, and forcing two turnovers in a near-shutout effort (Villanova's garbage-time TD came with zeros on the clock). True freshman CB Jahmir Joseph emerged as the star, snagging his first career interception—a great baiting of the QB—and returning it 49 yards for a back-breaking pick-6. Tony Rojas added two sacks, Zuriah Fisher terrorized the edges, and the unit's physicality was on full display. Under DC Jim Knowles, this group is swarming, turnover-prone, and absolutely terrifying—is it the best in the country?BYE Week Focus: What Must PSU Improve Before Oregon? The 52-6 thrashing was fun, but the BYE offers prime time to polish rough edges. Offensively, the line still whiffed on a few assignments, leading to stalled red-zone drives (though Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen combined for 160 rushing yards and three TDs). Third-down conversions ticked up to 7-of-14, but efficiency in two-minute drills needs work to counter Oregon's tempo. Defensively, run fits were solid, but coverage lapses allowed a late score—nothing major, but details matter against top-10 talent. Special teams? Ryan Barker nailed three field goals (45, 42, and 28 yards), and Gabe Nwosu averaged 58 yards on punts. Coach Franklin's offseason to-do: O-line cohesion, Allar's footwork, and depth reps to keep the D fresh. Get it right, and PSU could be unstoppable.

Join the Hardcore Penn State Football Podcast as we preview No. 2 Penn State's Week 3 clash with Villanova at Beaver Stadium! Coming off a 2-0 start with a dominant 34-0 shutout over FIU, the Nittany Lions face an FCS opponent in Villanova, but with a massive Big Ten opener against No. 4 Oregon looming, this game is all about execution and momentum. We're diving into what Penn State must do to stay sharp, why this tune-up matters, and how some of the AP Poll voters still hav the Lions reigning supreme at No. 1. Let's break it down! After an inconsistent offensive showing against FIU—marked by Drew Allar's 57.6% completion rate and a sluggish 3-of-12 third-down conversions—Penn State can't afford to sleepwalk through this one. Coach James Franklin emphasized cleaning up the offensive line's missed assignments and boosting the run game led by Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen. Expect Allar to target Kyron Hudson, Trebor Pena and Devonte Ross early to build rhythm. Can the Lions deliver a crisp, mistake-free performance to send a message before Oregon? This matchup is Penn State's last chance to iron out kinks before hosting No. 4 Oregon in a Big Ten blockbuster that could shape their playoff path. The defense, led by Dani Dennis-Sutton and a resurgent Zuriah Fisher, has been lights-out, forcing turnovers and holding opponents to 354 combined yards over two games. Freshman DE Chaz Coleman's emergence adds depth, but Villanova's balanced attack will challenge PSU's ability to stay disciplined. Offensively, it's about consistency—can Allar shake off Week 2's woes, and will the O-line finally gel? We're analyzing how this game sets the stage for the Ducks and what Franklin's staff must prioritize. Despite some offensive hiccups, some of the AP Poll voters remain all-in on Penn State, holding the Nittany Lions at No. 1 for the third straight week. The shutout of FIU and Week 1's 46-11 rout of Nevada have voters sold on PSU's elite defense and upside, even with Oregon, Ohio State, and Texas nipping at their heels. We're debating whether the Lions deserve the top spot, how their résumé stacks up, and what a dominant win over Villanova could do to solidify their ranking before the Big Ten gauntlet begins. Will Gabe Nwosu's booming 70-yard punt from Week 2 flip the field again? Can Ryan Barker stay perfect on field goals? And which under-the-radar players—like S Antoine Belgrave-Shorter or RB Cam Wallace—might steal the show? We're breaking down matchups, sharing our score predictions, and discussing how PSU NEEDS to demolish VIllanova. Plus, live listener Q&A, Allar's ceiling, and whether this team is truly playoff-ready. Tune in now for the full preview—We Eat!

Join the Hardcore Penn State Football Podcast as we dissect No. 2 Penn State's 34-0 shutout victory over FIU in Week Two at Beaver Stadium! The Nittany Lions moved to 2-0 with a dominant defensive performance and a late offensive surge, but the road to a Big Ten title and playoff berth looks bumpy after another uneven showing. With 104,000 fans braving the rain in Happy Valley, we're breaking down the key moments, concerns, and bright spots from this lopsided win, plus a look at Penn State alums shining in NFL Week 1. Let's dive in! Senior QB Drew Allar followed his stellar Week 1 with a frustratingly inconsistent performance against FIU, completing 19 of 33 passes for 200 yards and two TDs but struggling to find rhythm. Early miscues, including a missed swing pass to Nick Singleton and underthrown deep balls, led to a sluggish first half with just 10 points. Allar's highlight was a gorgeous 42-yard TD pass to Devonte Ross, but his 57.6% completion rate and visible frustration—mimicking tearing his jersey after a miss—sparked fan debate. Is this a blip, or a sign of deeper issues for the senior signal-caller? The offensive line, expected to be a strength, had another rough outing, with missed assignments stalling drives and limiting the ground attack. Despite Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton combining for over 200 rushing yards and two TDs, the unit lacked consistency, contributing to a measly 3-of-12 third-down conversions. Coach James Franklin called out the sloppy execution, and with tougher tests like Ohio State looming, the O-line's struggles are a yellow flag. Can they clean it up before Big Ten play? The defensive line was a bright spot, stepping up big in the shutout. Freshman DE Chaz Coleman made his presence felt, showing promise with disruptive plays and earning praise for his potential as a future star. Veteran DE Zuriah Fisher's return added juice, bolstering a unit that held FIU to just 151 total yards and forced a turnover on an Alonzo Ford interception. With Tony Rojas racking up 10 tackles, this D-line looks ready to carry Penn State's defense under new DC Jim Knowles. Are they the key to a top-tier season? Special teams delivered a highlight with punter Gabe Nwosu unleashing a monstrous 70-yard punt that flipped the field and energized the soggy Beaver Stadium crowd. The bomb pinned FIU deep, showcasing Nwosu's leg and potential as a weapon in the field-position battle. Ryan Barker also chipped in with two field goals (41 and 34 yards), though a 53-yarder was blocked. Special teams could be a difference-maker this year! While the current Nittany Lions grind, Penn State alums lit up NFL Week 1! We'll recap how PSU's pros are carrying the #WeAre spirit on the big stage! Despite the 2-0 start, Penn State's sluggish offense and Allar's inconsistency raise concerns as they head into a crucial stretch. Can the O-line gel, and will Allar find his form? The defense and special teams look elite, but is it enough to compete with the Big Ten's best? We're previewing the upcoming slate, analyzing their play, and tackling your listener questions on whether we should be concerned about this performance. Tune in now for the full breakdown.

Reviewing the early returns for the top college QB prospects. Pomp likes Nussmeier. We all need to see more from Allar, but he looked good vs Nevada. Belichick's debut was a disaster, can Pitt surpass expectations? Joe is working on his greatest Pittsburgh bloopers of the century and we discuss many choices.

Joe continues to trim weight and he's close to his goal. Bob commends him. We open a 6 pack - Heyward's status for Sunday, we examine it from the perspectives of Cam, the Steelers, and fans, are pass rushers becoming overvalued, would Cam get booed, the Jets are down a key player, Konnor Griffin had an injury scare but seems to be alright. Aaron Glenn has been asked frequently about Aaron Rodgers, Don Kelly is basically .500 as the manager and perhaps has done enough to keep his job, Tommy Pham is growing on Joe, why can't instant replay determine clear missed calls in baseball still, Jaylen Warren's extension, the General offers up an Ohtani card. Both Pomp and Joe have bold takes for NFL MVPs - Baker Mayfield and Bo Nix. Defensive coaches ranked the offensive coaches anonymously. Kyle Shanahan is #1. Is Arthur Smith in the same realm as the best guys? He was listed as an honorable mention. Pomp says most of his callers on the Nightly Sports Call have been critical of Cam. Would Cam want to see the Steelers get shredded if he sits out against the Jets? What happens if they win? Joe says there's a lot of cheaters in golf. Dan Zangrilli stops in to discuss Ohtani's place in history, Chandler and Yorke, Triolo, if Tommy Pham should be back, the Framber Valdez and Devers incidents, the excitement about the Pirates in 2026. We review the potential starting players for the Bucs next year.

With over 106,000 fans roaring in Happy Valley, Penn State kicked off the 2025 campaign in style, forcing three turnovers and piling up 438 total yards. But while the win was decisive, it's clear there's work to be done as the Lions gear up for a Big Ten title run and beyond. We're diving deep into the highs, lows, and what it all means for James Franklin's squad. Senior QB Drew Allar wasted no time asserting himself, going 22-of-26 for 217 yards and a touchdown in a poised performance that showed his growth heading into what could be a Heisman-contending year. He spread the ball to five different receivers, including a dagger 31-yard strike to transfer Kyron Hudson that capped a slick two-minute drill before halftime. Allar's accuracy and decision-making kept the chains moving, proving he's ready to lead this high-powered offense to new heights. The passing game wasn't just Allar—our wideouts flashed serious potential! Hudson led the charge with six catches for 89 yards and that key score, while Syracuse transfer Trebor Peña hauled in seven receptions for big chunks of yards. Devonte Ross also got involved with a nice grab on a pivotal first down-converting grab. These guys looked like the consistent weapons we've been waiting for, creating separation and making plays downfield. If they build on this chemistry, Penn State's aerial attack could be unstoppable. On defense, it was all about chaos, and senior DE Dani Dennis-Sutton was the star of the show! The edge rusher terrorized Nevada's line all afternoon, notching five tackles (2.5 for loss), a sack, a pass breakup, AND a career-high two forced fumbles—one on the Wolf Pack's opening drive recovered by A.J. Harris, and another in the third quarter scooped by Zakee Wheatley at the Nevada 16. Add in Zane Durant's first career interception, and this unit held Nevada to just 203 yards and 78 on the ground. Under new DC Jim Knowles, the D is already playing like a top-10 group—disruptive, turnover-hungry, and dominant. Shoutout to redshirt sophomore Ryan Barker for a flawless day on special teams! He nailed all four of his field goal attempts, including a career-long 39-yarder, matching his personal best and adding 12 crucial points to the scoreboard. From 28 yards twice to that bomber from 39, Barker was money when the offense stalled near the red zone. Reliability like this could be a game-changer in tight Big Ten battles down the road. That said, it's not all sunshine—there's room to grow. The offensive line, expected to be one of the nation's best, had some ugly missed assignments that disrupted rhythm and limited explosive plays up front. The run game, led by the dynamic duo of Nicholas Singleton (two TDs) and Kaytron Allen (13-yard score and 43 yards), totaled solid yards but lacked the punch we saw in previous seasons. Singleton and Allen combined for three rushing scores, but consistency on the ground will be key against tougher fronts like Ohio State and Michigan. Coach Franklin called out the sloppiness post-game; expect those reps to sharpen up quick. What's Next for the Lions? This win sets a strong tone, but with road games looming and a schedule stacked with contenders, Penn State can't afford complacency. We're discussing the Nevada game, taking fan questions, and breaking down the Monday Press Conference. Tune in now for the full breakdown.

Penn State QB Drew Allar met with reporters for an extended discussion of the Nittany Lions' 2025 season at Big Ten Media Days in Las Vegas.Allar discussed a number of topics related to Ohio State, including how former Buckeye defensive coordinator Jim Knowles has used information from his time in Columbus to improve Allar's game, what it will mean to get a chance to play in the Horseshoe this fall, and what it's going to take to finally get over the hump and beat the Buckeyes after so many close calls.

It has been "close, but no cigar" for the Penn State Nittany Lions for close to a decade against Ohio State. James Franklin's program hasn't beaten the Buckeyes or won the Big Ten since 2016, but with senior QB Drew Allar, a veteran offensive line, and the dynamic RB duo of Katron Allen and Nick Singleton all back, this could be the year the Lions end that streak.Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr of BuckeyeHuddle.com discuss what they learned while talking to Franklin, Allar, and the Nittany Lions on Wednesday at 2025 Big Ten Media Days.

Garrett thinks the George Pickens trade is a no-lose situation for Dallas and if they let him walk will get a comp pick. Garrett thinks Drew Allar is better than Will Howard. Garrett says a lot of people think Arch Manning will be a multi-year starter at Texas. Allar could be the top quarterback in the class. If the Steelers sign Aaron Rodgers, they would be off Garrett's top 10 worst QB rooms.

How concerned are you about Roman Wilson? Bob and Austin and Bob both would have drafted a wide receiver. An epic debate between Bob and Austin begins over Will Howard vs. Drew Allar. Bob thinks Howard is better than Allar and would rather have him. Austin is an Allar supporter. Joe thinks there is a little Steelers bias with Howard.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Bob and Austin and Bob both would have drafted a wide receiver. What does it say that the Steelers couldn't get a 2nd round pick for Pickens? An epic debate between Bob and Austin begins over Will Howard vs. Drew Allar. Bob thinks Howard is better than Allar and would rather have him and Austin is supporting Allar. Joe thinks there is a little Steelers bias with Howard. Steven Fabian of Inside Edition calls in and is ecstatic Pickens has been traded.

Is it all being set up for the Steelers to draft Drew Allar in the 2026 NFL Draft? If that does happen, how do we feel about it? It doesn't even seem like Penn State fans would love it. Does that perfect the plan set out by Pittsburgh?

Is it all being set up for the Steelers to draft Drew Allar in the 2026 NFL Draft? If that does happen, how do we feel about it? It doesn't even seem like Penn State fans would love it. Does that perfect the plan set out by Pittsburgh? This past draft was the first one in roughly 30 years that did not see a WPIAL player get selected? Pirates pre-post game host Dan Zangrilli joined the show. After a brief discussion about baseball card collecting, we got into the Buccos. The guys asked why Carmen Mlodzinski doesn't get moved to the bullpen where he is likely a better option. Dan suggested Bubba Chandler could be up here soon, around the same time Paul Skenes debuted in 2024. Dan thinks Chandler is right there, and maybe better than, Jared Jones, with a better body type. Dan weighed in on the man versus gorilla debate, and which former Pirates could stack up in a fight.

Drew and Rory sit down with Estonian AI chef, Allar Haltsonen, to talk about his creative process, spontaneous idea generation, and all the other tools in his proverbial toolbox. They wrestle with prompting, the never-ending battle for realistic fashion textures, and the fine line between aesthetic genius and absolute chaos. The trio dives into the weird intersection of fashion, automotive design, and whatever else happens when you let AI cook. They also nerd out over aspect ratios, predict the future of AI in video storytelling, and try to figure out what Midjourney V7 might have in store.

McSorley will rejoin his former team as an assistant quarterbacks coach under Danny O'Brien and offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki. Where can McSorley lend starting quarterback Drew Allar wisdom? We'll discuss some tangible aspects of McSorley's game that he can impart to Allar. McSorley wasn't the only news this week. The team officially announced Dan Connor as the linebackers coach. We'll dive into what that means for Linebacker U and for new defensive coordinator Jim Knowles. Spring Transfer Portal Claims its first victim The Penn State football team has done an excellent job retaining players and making sure to keep most of its own depth throughout the transfer portal era. Still the team isn't impervious to the portal, which lured resever defensive lineman Smith Vilbert away from the team this week.

Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqKCheck out the site too! - https://bit.ly/3u8dilDWe're in the "Way Too Early" portion of the 2025 season when media pundits are clamoring to be the first to a take for the upcoming year. One of the early storylines for Penn State football is that they're a top team contending for the National Championship and quarterback Drew Allar is again in the conversation for a Heisman. But how realistic is any of that? Today on the BWI Live Show, we discuss the factors that would lead Penn State to another deep playoff run and a chance at a Championship in 2025. Join the show at 10 a.m. to get your thoughts on those subjects, plus join the BWI Mailbag portion, back from its postseason hiatus. As always, the best way to know when we go live and post breaking news, or other great content is to subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel and enable notifications. Allar for Heisman? The early odds for the Heisman winner in 2025 are out, and Drew Allar has the fourth-best odds of any player in college football. Is that realistic? We discuss what it takes to win the award and how the Penn State offense can help or hold Allar back. The Nittany Lions need Allar to take the next step and become the best version of himself next year, but does that correlate to postseason awards? We'll discuss the tactical ways that can happen and what the most realistic outcome is as we sit in January. Next, we'll discuss the biggest questions for the Penn State offense and defense, which was part of Greg Pickel's "Four Thoughts" from yesterday. Does Penn State have enough NFL talent to win a championship?We'll continue our theme of Penn State's path to a National Championship by discussing a tweet from Senior Bowl director Jim Nagy. In a social media post on Tuesday, Nagy claimed that it takes NFL talent to win a championship in college football. He posted the last six winners of the CFP and the number of NFL Draft picks they had in that year's draft. Where does Penn State stand with potential draft talent for 2026? We'll look at that and examine this article from yesterday about how many players the Lions may realistically send to the NFL after next season. BWI MailbagFinally, we'll discuss your questions and thoughts in the BWI Mailbag!

Today on the Logan Blackman Show we follow along as Notre Dame defeats Penn State in the College Football Playoff semifinal by a score of 27-24. With that we compare and contrast each teams starting quarterbacks, Riley Leonard and Drew Allar, discussing how they did in this game, what their strengths and weaknesses are, and where they could end up going in the NFL Draft. Speaking of the Draft we react to the news of Georgia quarterback Carson Beck pulling his name from the Draft and entering the transfer portal, with Miami (FL) being his most likely destination. We then take a look at the current top 18 picks in the draft and go over what each quarterback needy team could do, whether that be over draft 'their guy' or avoid taking one all together as the class gets weaker and weaker. Finally we reveal our officially official NFL Playoff predictions, making an absolutely shocking Super Bowl pick in the process. Enjoy! (we also check out my bowl season predictions)

We'll provide extensive postseason coverage of the Nittany Lions this winter. Penn State doesn't get it done vs. Top Five Team Penn State's defense could not have gotten off to a worse start against Oregon. The Nittany Lions' normally stout front was gashed on the first two drives as Oregon rushed out to an explosive lead. Oregon's speed was too much for the team as they got their explosive athletes into space and raced out to 31 points in the first half, including an 11-point lead early in the second quarter. But from there, the Penn State offense came roaring back. Unlike previous big games, the offense was the side of the football that held the line for the Nittany Lions, going toe-to-toe with the Ducks and scoring 24 points before halftime. However, Oregon's explosiveness was too much for the Penn State defense. The Ducks passing attack went off with electric slot receiver Tez Johnson going for 181 yards in the game. Allar threw an interception with under two minutes left in the game to seal the game for the Ducks.What's next for the Nittany Lions? Penn State will await its fate on Sunday afternoon to find out its seeding in the first round of the inaugural 12-team playoff. Before then, hear what head coach James Franklin had to say about the game during his postgame press conference. Check that out by following the show on the BWI YouTube Channel.

Offense vs Minnesota Starts at 1:00 This game was like losing the equalizer in British People Football. Alex Orji has 12 rushing yards which is concerning. They're not running QB power which is not even an expensive install. No we do not want Rich Rodriguez back! But they're not running the offense that optimizes this team's strengths. Alex Orji opened it up a bit in the passing game and at the very least kept the ball out of harm's way. The whole philosophy of this offense under Harbaugh was that you have an NFL quarterback and don't have to run a lot of College Crap™ - but now they should. Offensive line loses Myles Hinton in this game. Semaj Morgan played very little of a role. Nick Sheridan is killing it at Alabama!  [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Defense vs Minnesota Starts at 38:37 Not a whole lot of nits to pick considering they were down their two best players. A bit of a sharp drop-off with a lot of the backups. Not much to say about the starting defensive line - they're awesome. Zeke Berry had the play of the game. Barham always finishes his tackles, Hausmann was out of position at times, Rolder has been improving every game. Wink's defense blitzed less which was nice; had a bad one on a 3rd down conversion, though.  3. Hot Takes, Game Theory, and Special Teams Starts at 1:00:50 Takes hotter than Nick Sheridan in the first half of the Georgia Alabama game. The Minnesota guy touched the ball before ten yards so quit your yappin'. The off-sides was very close. Is there a kicker in Michigan history you would take over Dominic Zvada? Going for it on 4th and 1 makes sense when you have Kalel Mullings. Tommy Doman: fine.  4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac   Starts at 1:36:00 Indiana 42, Maryland 28 Indiana is 5-0 for the first time since 1967. Will #9Windiana finally stop being an internet meme?? USC 38, Wisconsin 21 A tale of two halves, USC mostly shot themselves in the foot in the first half.  Nebraska 28, Purdue 10 This game was tied 0-0 at halftime, if you're a computer science major this spells NOOP. Penn State 21, Illinois 7 Illinois scores six minutes into this game and decides that they're done. Drew Allar descends back into 2023 Allar.  Ohio State 38, Michigan State 7 The Jeremiah Smith coming out party. Sparty can't convert in the redzone.  Oregon 34, UCLA 14 UCLA is very bad!! Rutgers 21, Washington 18 Washington outgained Rutgers 521 to 299! Washington is not as bad as their record but they may be limping a bit into the Michigan game.  MUSIC: "For Beginners"--M.Ward "Flowers"--Real Estate "Superbad"--James Brown “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra
