Evan Simon hasn't been sleeping on the job.

That was one of the gems to come from Thursday's media day session, and you can hear the media day interviews from Simon and head coach K.C. Keeler on this week's podcast, along with part of a OwlScoop 1-on-1 interview with former Temple linebacker Tyler Matakevich as he recalled how the Owls carved up Penn State's offensive line in their 27-10 upset win over the Nittany Lions back in 2015.

Penn State was picked to win the Big Ten in 2025 by the league's media, but to do that, they will very likely have to get over a hurdle they have struggled to clear for close to a decade - beating the Ohio State Buckeyes. In this special bonus episode, you'll hear Penn State head coach James Franklin's thoughts on what it will take to beat the Buckeyes this fall in Columbus, as well as the impact that former Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles is having after taking the same role with the Nittany Lions, and more.
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.
Coach James Franklin and quarterback Drew Allar were among Penn State football representatives at Big Ten Media Days in Las Vegas. Lions247 was on the scene for coverage and there are several Nittany Lions topics to address, along with Franklin's frustration about this version of the annual event.

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.
Penn State is the preseason favorite in the Big Ten, according to KOTN poll. Will the Nittany Lions live up to the expectations? How are they handling them? Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis check in from Big Ten Media Days in Las Vegas to discuss.

The Big Ten preseason poll is out, and Penn State has been picked for the No. 1 spot. On this episode, Jason Whitlock breaks down the rankings and argues that Nittany Lions head coach James Franklin is over-rated and will not, despite the hype, be winning the Big Ten championship. Franklin, who Whitlock labels the "Great Black Hope,” is the conference's Gerry Cooney: The wins on his record have been racked up against such non-heavy hitters as SMU and Boise State, while his teams' performance against top teams has been pitiful. PSU rival Ohio State is another Big Ten favorite, and Franklin's teams have a 1-10 record against the Buckeyes and eight straight losses. Later in the show, Whitlock discusses Jerry Jones' latest eyebrow-raising press conference and how the 82-year-old is now an old man incapable of not speaking the truth. Whitlock revisits the list of nominees for Purple Hearts earned by combating woke sports, as well as sports-fan demands submitted by listeners (and some they rejected). In the wake of The Cosby Show actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner's untimely death, Whitlock rounds out the show with a can't-miss rundown of the greatest-ever black sitcoms. It's a jam-packed show today with tons of entertaining information!
