Podcast appearances and mentions of drew allar

What an absolute rollercoaster of a Week 7. In this college football podcast, we do our best to make sense of it all. Indiana just went into Autzen Stadium and beat Oregon 30-20, holding the Ducks to 267 yards and looking like the more physical team in the trenches. We break down how Curt Cignetti's Hoosiers pulled off a statement win that has us reconsidering everything we thought we knew about both programs. Meanwhile, Penn State's season completely unraveled with a stunning 22-21 loss to Northwestern at home—their second consecutive loss as 20+ point favorites. We discuss James Franklin's future, Drew Allar's season-ending injury, and whether this program is heading for a complete reset. Beyond that, we cover Alabama's gritty road win at Missouri and Kalen DeBoer's lucky hoodie, Texas taking care of business in the Red River Rivalry, Ohio State's dominant performance over Illinois, and USC bullying Michigan. We also dive into Texas A&M's impressive 34-17 win over Florida that has the Aggies looking like legitimate SEC contenders, Pitt's road upset of Florida State, matching 20-10 wins for both Georgia and LSU, and all the other carnage from an action-packed Week 7 of college football.

Franklin, Penn State's 12th-year head coaching, is under fire after losses to Oregon and UCLA. The Lions have some major problems to solve when they host Northwestern on Saturday.

In this episode of Hardcore Penn State Football, we preview the Nittany Lions' crucial matchup against Northwestern as they look to snap a frustrating two-game skid. Can Penn State turn things around and get back in the win column? We break it all down, starting with why the biggest battle isn't the Wildcats—it's Penn State itself. From lingering injuries (Rojas, Donkoh) and mental lapses to execution errors that have plagued recent outings, we dissect how the team needs to overcome its own demons to regain momentum. Next, we zero in on the second-biggest challenge: the linebacker corps. With Tony Rojas still sidelined and depth issues exposed, how will the defense hold up against Northwestern's running attack led by RB Caleb Komolafe (4 TDs in past 3 games) ? We analyze potential adjustments, key players stepping up, and what it means for stopping the run and pressuring the quarterback. Finally, the big question on offense: Will they finally take control? After inconsistent play-calling and underutilized weapons, we explore if Drew Allar and the unit can dictate the pace, get Kaytron Allen more involved, and exploit Northwestern's vulnerabilities for a dominant performance. Tune in for expert breakdowns, bold predictions, and what this game means for the rest of the season.

Adam Crowley, Dorin Dickerson and Pat Bostick react to the recent struggles of Penn State Football, and they wonder if QB Drew Allar has any redeeming qualities that would make the Steelers interested in drafting him.

In this hour, Adam Crowley, Dorin Dickerson and Pat Bostick wonder why the Steelers decided to give TE Pat Freiermuth more money if they weren't going to give him the majority of playing time. Also, is Drew Allar a bad QB or is Penn State Football setting up its players for failure? And another edition of QUIZ CALLAS! October 9, 2025, 8:00 Hour

On their weekly Penn State football podcast, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Nittany Lions insider Isaiah Maldonado evaluate the state of the program after a costly upset loss at UCLA. Is there anything coach James Franklin can do to escape the toxicity surrounding his job? Does his future deserve to be in question given the elevated commitments the Penn State community has made to the program in recent years? Was Jim Knowles the right hire at defensive coordinator? Or would Dani Dennis-Sutton and the defense have been better off with some continuity in the form of a position coach like Anthony Poindexter? And how much belief genuinely exists in the Penn State locker room after Drew Allar's confident statements that the team can still make the College Football Playoff? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

CBS Sports' latest mock draft has the Steelers taking Drew Allar 14th overall. It's hard to get behind that idea the way the seasons have gone for the ‘big-name' QBs so far. Is it still worth taking one of those guys in the 1st round? 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff gave the latest injury updates on a few guys that won't play on Sunday. What vibes did Jeff get from Aaron Rodgers today in his chat with the media? The guys asked Jeff about Pat Freiermuth and what his current role is in the offense. What is the breakdown at edge rusher on Sunday? Jeff expects Jaylen Warren to see more snaps than Kenneth Gainwell, even after the big game from Kenny G in Dublin. Steelers 16-7 is Jeff's prediction for Sunday. Judge Donny – Will the Ravens make the playoffs?

In this episode of Hardcore Penn State Football, we dive deep into the Nittany Lions' heartbreaking 42-37 loss to UCLA. We kick things off by breaking down how the defense struggled to get off the field, allowing the Bruins to control the clock and convert key third downs that kept drives alive far too long. Next, we explore the massive impact of linebacker Tony Rojas's injury and how it completely shifted the identity of the Penn State defense, leaving gaps in run stopping and pass coverage that UCLA exploited relentlessly. On the offensive side, quarterback Drew Allar delivered a performance that was more than good enough to secure a win—efficient passing, smart decisions, and clutch throws under pressure. But why isn't running back Kaytron Allen getting more touches? We dissect the play-calling, his underutilization in the ground game, and what it means for the backfield moving forward.

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.

Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Penn State insiders Isaiah Maldonado and Lyle Alenstein break down the Nittany Lions' 30-24 double-overtime loss to Oregon on Saturday at Beaver Stadium.

How should we rate QB Drew Allar's performance after he struggled for much of the game but helped erase a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit and nearly clawed Penn State to a victory? How concerned should the Nittany Lions be about their rushing attack, as Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton were largely held in check by the Ducks? What does this loss mean for Penn State's Big Ten title hopes and spot in the College Football Playoff? And why can James Franklin never seem to get over the hump and win these big games? Our duo answers those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

There are certain Saturdays that feel like they were built for college football: the lights, the noise, the choreography of a crowd that feels like it's part of the playbook. This week's conversation at Y-Option, presented by 76–keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat, welcomes back Todd Blackledge. On Saturday night, Todd will have the best seat in the house as he broadcasts the Oregon v Penn State game in Happy Valley during the Nittany Lions annual White Out.We dive into what it is like to broadcast a White Out, the match-ups he is looking forward to seeing play out and analyze both Drew Allar and Dante Moore.Todd shared the origin of his own career and how there is a unique connection between the start of his illustrious career and the famed White Out. He also shared how he prepares for a game like this, as he has known for months that NBC and his crew would be on the call.He also shared his truth on what Drew Allar needs to do in this environment and what this top 6 match-up will come down to.I've known Todd since he was calling Big East games back when I was playing and he's been a constant source of inspiration and support since we met in the early 2000s. Be sure to tune into the White Out this Saturday night as this rematch of the Big Ten Championship game from last season may be a classic. And to both fan bases, win or lose, your season is neither complete or ruined. Yes, it's a massive data point but it's only week 5, and we have a lot of ball left to play.I'm off to Minnesota to call one of the most intriguing games of the weekend as Rutgers and Greg Schiano visit P.J.

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.
