Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to ponder Penn State's progress through the first two weeks of the season. Have coach James Franklin's Nittany Lions proven anything yet? Is there anything they can show against Villanova that they haven't against Florida International and Nevada? Does Franklin deserve criticism for the soft schedule? And is Oregon in a few weeks the only test that matters? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Among them: Are Devonte Ross, Kyron Hudson and Trebor Pena the best trio of receivers the program has had in a while? Where does Drew Allar rank among NFL draft QB hopefuls like Clemson's Cade Klubnik, LSU's Garrett Nussmeier and LaNorris Sellers? Can we expect more dominance from Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton? And how is Penn State figuring into the College Football Playoff national title conversation alongside names like Oregon, Ohio State and LSU?

Tom Fornelli does an excellent job covering the B1G and college football in general---in his weekly write-up, he posts that under Sherrone Moore, Michigan has failed to get over 300 yards of offense in 10 of his 15 games coached….while under Jim Harbaugh, it happened just 4 times in 45 games…..HELLO Also, in a (kind of) joking way, Fornelli wonders if Penn State let the wrong QB go, seeing Beau Pribula put up big numbers at Missouri compared to a pedestrian start for Drew Allar…is there any part of that theory you might buy?

Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Penn State insiders Isaiah Maldonado and Lyle Alenstein break down the Nittany Lions' 34-0 win over Florida International on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. Why was the third-down battle the key to the Nittany Lions' slow start on offense after basically doing whatever they wanted against Nevada in Week 1? And how did QB Drew Allar adjust and lead a balanced attack in the second half? How were the Nittany Lions able to better utilize their star running backs Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton? On the defensive side of the ball, what can we learn from the Nittany Lions' dominant, shutout performance? Which units and players stood out? And is this the breakout game for true freshman Chaz Coleman? Our duo answers those questions and more.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to react to Penn State football's victory against Nevada and forward to a Week 2 matchup with Florida International. Are Dani Dennis-Sutton and DC Jim Knowles the pieces the Nittany Lions need to form a College Football Playoff national championship caliber defense? What did Drew Allar prove in distributing the ball to a bunch of receivers in the season opening win? Do Kyron Hudson, Devonte Ross and Trebor Pena give OC Andy Kotelnicki the depth necessary at receiver to challenge defenses? And is the running game's lack of explosiveness beyond Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton a concern for coach James Franklin? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

Welcome to another episode of the Hardcore Penn State Football Podcast, where we dive deep into all things Nittany Lions! In this week's action-packed installment, we're breaking down Penn State's upcoming matchup against the Florida International (FIU) Panthers on Saturday, September 6, at Beaver Stadium (12:00 PM ET on Big Ten Network). Coming off a dominant 46-11 season-opening win over Nevada, the No. 2-ranked Nittany Lions (1-0) look to keep the momentum rolling against a rebuilding FIU squad (1-0) that's fresh off a 42-9 thrashing of Bethune-Cookman in their opener under new head coach Willie Simmons. James Franklin's crew is loaded with talent—Drew Allar at QB, the dynamic duo of Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen in the backfield, and a revamped receiving corps featuring transfers like Kyron Hudson and Trebor Pena. But can they stay sharp against a Panthers team led by pocket-passer star Keyone Jenkins? We've got the inside scoop on practice notes, a full FIU breakdown, and our bold game predictions. Whether you're tailgating in Happy Valley or watching from afar, this episode has everything you need to get hyped for another W! The boys wrap up the episode discussing PSU's potential move from Nike to Adidas. #WeAre #PennStateFootball #nittanylions WEEK 2 PICK'EM
On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey welcomes insider Ray Fittipaldo to react to the team's new three-year contract with RB Jaylen Warren. Were coach Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan right to lock the veteran up through 2027? Especially on the heels of the third-round selection of Kaleb Johnson in the NFL draft? And how does this heighten expectations for Warren within OC Arthur Smith's offense next to backfield mates like Kenneth Gainwell? Our duo ponders those questions, then wonders whether Aaron Rodgers or Justin Fields have more to prove when the Steelers face the New York Jets in NFL Week 1 on Sunday; how close DC Teryl Austin's defense can come to the "historic" label coach Mike Tomlin gave it in the preseason; and which NFL draft QB hopefuls and possible Steelers draft picks -- from Drew Allar to Arch Manning, Cade Klubnik and Garrett Nussmeier -- impressed during a busy first week of action.
Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: Brian Batko doesn't think the story of Week 1 has been hijacked by Cam Heyward. Jaylen Warren will make $12 million guaranteed. The three quarterbacks you want to be the Steelers next quarterback? We go by Pickett hands. Joe has Arch Manning still as the quarterback he wants the Steelers to take. Austin has Drew Allar and Garrett Nusmeier as 1A and 1B.

Host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey to preview the season for coach James Franklin's Penn State Nittany Lions football team. Will we learn anything about Drew Allar, Kaytron Allen, Nick Singleton and others during an easy early-season schedule? Or will we need to wait until White Out night against the Oregon Ducks in late September? How much can the new Jim Knowles defense dominate Big Ten opponents? Can Penn State finally beat its nemesis Ohio State in Columbus? And what are Jason's picks in terms of record, the conference title race and College Football Playoff potential? Our duo tackles those questions and more.
We are pumped for college football and we all believe we will watch more than recent years to try and find who's the Steelers next quarterback. A lot of Penn State's season will come down to how Drew Allar plays. How will Pitt do?

Host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Nittany Lions insider Isaiah Maldonado preview a pressure-packed season for Penn State QB Drew Allar. Can he prove his many critics wrong after a crushing interception at the end of the College Football Playoff semifinal loss to Notre Dame at the Orange Bowl set him up for an offseason full of doubt nationally? Did coach James Franklin and OC Andy Kotelnicki add enough firepower for him to succeed in transfer receivers Kyron Hudson, Devonte Ross and Trebor Pena? How will he perform without the safety valve that Tyler Warren provided at tight end before departing to the Indianapolis Colts in the NFL draft this past spring? And will names like Khalil Dinkins, Luke Reynolds and Andrew Rappleyea be able to step up for him in a similar way? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

In the debut episode of their Penn State football podcast, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Nittany Lions insider Isaiah Maldonado preview the season for the pivotal wide receiver group. Can transfers Trebor Pena, Devonte Ross and Kyron Hudson make the impact this team sorely lacked from the position last season, in falling short against Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Orange Bowl? Or could they be the next in a long line of disappointments for coach James Franklin, from Dante Cephas, to Malik McClain to Julian Fleming? And how will home-grown options including Liam Clifford, Tyseer Denmark and Koby Howard develop with Drew Allar behind center? Our duo tackles those questions and more.
Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise weighs in on the hottest topics in Pittsburgh sports. Specifically, he gives his thoughts on a suggestion by ESPN's Bill Barnwell that the Steelers could trade for Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson after he lost a competition with Daniel Jones to start. Should GM Omar Khan really consider dealing for the 23-year-old, who's had mixed results so far, as a potential successor to Aaron Rodgers? Are internal options like Mason Rudolph, Skylar Thompson and Will Howard preferable? Or should Khan focus on the 2026 NFL draft in Pittsburgh, that figures to include talented rookie options like Arch Manning, Drew Allar, Nico Iamaleava, Cade Klubnik and Garrett Nussmeier?

Noncon and Big Ten: The Bottom Four Starts at 0:54 New Mexico. Former Wisconsin player who was at Idaho takes over, brings the QB and the DE who gave Oregon problems last year. Keegan Johnson used to play at Iowa. Oklahoma. Spiderman pointing game. Their defense was great and their offense just as terrible. Mateer the savior doesn't have WRs and his OL is highly recruited and young. They spent a lot for Damonic Williams at DT, have a great FS and iffy corners. Punting and arm-punting is winning? CMU. New coach is the former Army OL coach, interesting dude who sends his coaches home at 5pm, got all local coaches because he wants to be there a long time. Got an Iowa QB. #18: Purdue. Odom: Why? Team was falling apart already under Walters and got gutted. Multi-year rebuild. #17: Maryland. Walking Locksley to the gallows season. Inexplicable receiver depth is gone. Jalen Husky (from Bowling Green) and secondary is the relative strength of the defense. How much will Maryland seriously try to compete in this sport or just throw their House money at basketball? #16: Northwestern. The2021 running backs are still there. Caleb Tiernan how do you not come home? Edges Hubbard and Anto Saka (getting draft hype) are good. Dillon Tatum late transfer followed Harlon Barnett. Receivers are gone though. #15: UCLA. Encouraging second half last year, new belief in Deshawn Foster. But they're back to rebuilding from the portal, look like they have to do that every year. Only 2/15 players with 200+ snaps returned. Did get Nico Iamaleava. They have some access to money, but where's it going? Jalen Berger is their RB! [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP] 2. The Big Ten Middle Starts at 34:54 #14: MSU. Defense takes a step back, offense takes a step forward, Aidan Chiles could be a budding star. Jonathan Smith probably didn't understand what kind of fanbase he's walking into. #13: Wisconsin. Is this the last hurrah of Fickell? They dumped the spread and their best player is a huge RT so that's good; their defense is kind of falling apart so that's bad. #12: Rutgers. Schiano has done it: Rutgers is a perennial bowl team! No more Monangai but plenty of parts are back, especially on the OL. #11: Minnesota. High-variance offense, Koi Perich is an All-American. If a few of the transfers hit it's a strong defense. Could win 10 games vs a bad schedule, could also be just fighting for a bowl. #10: Nebraska. Raiola year 2 has a lot of weapons. They really spent to get him some WRs, Dane Key and a contested catch guy from Cal. Still going to be a 3-3-5 but playing tiny. The problem is their DL coach left and took the DL with him. #9: Washington. Only Big Ten RB to return, really like them. Also got back Boston. Upgraded from Stephen Belichick to Ryan Walters at DC, have a dual-threat QB who took over last year. Opposite Michigan: no kicker, weak in the trenches. #8: Iowa. Mid! Offense improved quite a bit under Tim Lester, rose to 69th in SP+, had fewer wins because that's not Iowa. "We have a quarterback now!" /runs a waggle. #7: Indiana. Cignetti is tough to play for but he was able to rebuild through the portal again with guys who don't have to get to know Cignetti, including a new QB who might be pretty good. 3. The Contenders Starts at 1:10:38 #6: Illinois. Brian is wearing an Illinois shirt after a 10-2 season that was really lucky. Lose their playmakers from a team that was really lucky last year and did most of their work. Paid all these guys to return because they have a very weak schedule. Circle Illinois-Indiana. #5: USC. Ewebwuddy Woves Waymond. Scott Frost season where they lost to Maryland, banking on a massive, sorta overrated 2026 class. Have their choice receivers, have their QB in Maiava, have a magic wand to turn their secondary into poop. (#4 is Michigan) #3: Oregon. Dan Lanning is our top coach in the league but in-game management in Rose Bowl scares us. Doesn't lose bad games. Will be some talent drop-off, do we trust Dante Moore? He's had a year in the program and they didn't import someone. Probably spent the most of anybody in the portal. Bear Alexander at DT is a reason to doubt them; this team has a big potential to come together or completely fall apart with locker room issues. Easy schedule: Play two OSUs but not THAT OSU. #2: Ohio State. Have the best player on offense (Jeremiah Smith) and the best player on defense (Caleb Downs) in the country, but do they have a quarterback? Their OL is kinda iffy, but the LT situation looks like a hit, and then two transfers are battling for RT. Run game is meh, trust the pass game. People underrating how much they lost on the DL, but we like Beau Atkinson pickup. LB and secondary have a ton of talent: Sonny Styles and Igbinosun are back. S&P+ #1 because there's talent everywhere. If you're looking for reasons to hate on Ohio State: Matt Patricia is there to ruin their defense. #1: Penn State. Drew Allar started very low in our eyes, has improved to okay or mid, and then had a great bowl game. RBs can run in a straight line. TE lost Warren. Receiver is a little iffy, but best OL in Franklin's tenure (not saying much). Kotelnicki is a factor in the offense though. Reasons they're not overrated: defense is filled with talent and experience. Think national pundits see last year, see Big Ten teams that returned their quarterbacks and a strong defense won the last two national championships. 4. Hot Takes & Lightning Round Starts at 1:49:41 Takes hotter than this summer. At seven hours of podcasting we are getting loopy but we still answer most important, breakout players, biggest x-factors, who's your dude, and final predictions.

Training camp is winding down, and game week is almost here (with Week Zero kicking off Saturday!). That means it's time for a recap from the road.On the latest episode of Y-Option, presented by our founding partner 76 — keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat — Jim Thornby and I sit down to unpack everything learned while traveling coast to coast.What stood out:* Penn State: The Nittany Lions have earned the right to be in the national title conversation. I'm a big believer in Drew Allar, as QBs need scars and every Penn State fan knows he has them. I think his maturity and work off the field will lead him to his most successful season in Happy Valley and I would bet in January he will say he played with the most joy in his young career. * Oregon: Despite losing a ton of production, their competitive depth is elite. Dante Moore (not yet named the starter) looked like one of the most impressive QBs I've seen in years. His ability to layer the ball, locate his wideouts and throw a catchable ball is as good as I've seen on the tour. * The Midwest stops: Illinois (my CFP sleeper), Wisconsin, and Iowa. Three places I'd never been to and each visit revealed growth and momentum. Walking away, my takeaway was simple: everybody has gotten better from a year ago. Another takeaway, Bret Bielema is one of the nation's most underrated head coaches. His experience as a head coach, an assistant with the Patriots & more has tangible depth to it and will only help this team if they can get through September undefeated. I think his team will be one of the biggest storylines of the season.* Back West: Our tour out West began in Eugene and then headed north to Seattle to see Jedd Fisch's team in his second year. Demond Williams, Jonah Coleman, Denzel Boston are all stars. With an improved OL this group is going to give teams fits. Add in two 6'4'' corners and UW will be a must see team this fall. We concluded in LA for some Big Ten Network crew fellowship and after watching DeShaun Foster's Bruins and Lincoln Riley's Trojans one thing is certain–the West Coast schools all look like B1G programs on the offensive and defensive lines. * Overall: the best part of the tour was time with my colleagues. Gerry DiNardo, Kyle Coughlin, Ashley Adamson and all of our Big Ten Network colleagues - it was an absolute blast and we made sure to make the most of it. And our Coach found himself with more slips than he knows what to do with!In addition, we dive into Cal naming a starting QB, Utah's opinions on public injury reports, Stanford in Week Zero and the Cougs and Beavs. Overall, this episode is a full rundown of training camp takeaways, the storylines that matter most, and what's ahead as the season kicks off.So with that, let's get after it!!

Donny Football Debrief – South Carolina OC Mike Shula has a fake piece of poop that he uses when his QBs make mistakes. Which QB in this draft class would you most want the Steelers to target? Christian Hackenberg says that Drew Allar reminds him of Carson Wentz.
Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. Brown was inducted into the Buffalo baseball hall of fame. Greg says he just now heard about Andrew McCutchen's comments, but says there's nothing newsworthy there. McCutchen implied that the Pirates need to spend more to try to win. Brownie says that spending more isn't the clear answer to the problem. Greg also said that he didn't understand the Aroldis Chapman signing last year. He also says that he doesn't think Ben Cherington has done a good enough job. Cam Heyward admitted to Aaron Rodgers on his own podcast that he had a pre-conceived notion of him. Rodgers seemed like he was genuinely hurt by this. Cam Heyward practiced fully today. Boswell also decided to kick off in the game on Saturday.
