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.

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.

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!
