All right, college sports fans:

Mike Tomlin said the Steelers played like they normally do against Myles Garrett. It was more of a talking point in the media. The Steelers and Ravens have both been poor on Sunday night. Austin was in New York to watch Penn State play Clemson in the Pinstripe Bowl.

All right, college sports fans -- today we break down what Clemson's loss to Penn State means for Dabo Swinney's future, the Tigers' offseason roster changes, and the outlook for Dabo Swinney as 2026 arrives. Clemson's offensive struggles and injury‑depleted defense were major factors in the Pinstripe Bowl, showing a lack of depth in talent with the transfer portal about to open. The loss in the season finale of a deeply disappointing year raises unavoidable questions about the Tigers' identity and development, with answers needed quickly during a pivotal offseason in Clemson. In this episode, we'll take a close at major factors to consider during Swinney's evaluation of his coaching staff evaluation, including the decisions of whether or not to retain or replace offensive coordinator Garrett Riley and quarterback Christopher Vizzina – plus, what part of the program might need a true reset most of all. We're glad you found us, be sure to comment at YouTube.com/ClemsonKickoff to share your thoughts!

All right, college sports fans -- here's our UPDATED Clemson vs. Penn State preview for the 2025 Pinstripe Bowl, with our Tigers analysis as well as a breakdown of what to expect from the Nittany Lions thanks to guest expert Audrey Snyder.

Welcome back to Hardcore Penn State Football, your no-holds-barred hub for expert breakdowns, behind-the-scenes scoops, and unapologetic opinions on the Nittany Lions! In this timely episode – dropping just after Christmas on December 26, 2025 – hosts Cory Lestochi and Shawn Kane tackle the latest twists in Happy Valley as the Matt Campbell era takes shape. With the Pinstripe Bowl looming, we're covering the stinging loss of DL coach Deion Barnes to South Carolina, the surging 2026 recruiting class hitting nine commits, and how PSU is gearing up for a showdown with Clemson. From staff shakeups to future stars and bowl game strategies, this episode delivers the intel you need to stay ahead of the curve in Big Ten football. Ouch – another hit to the coaching staff! We start with the breaking news that defensive line coach Deion Barnes, a PSU alum and rising star in coaching circles, is bolting for South Carolina to join Shane Beamer's staff as their new DL coach and co-defensive coordinator. Barnes, who played a key role in developing beasts like Chop Robinson and Adisa Isaac, leaves a void after just a few seasons in Happy Valley. Recruiting is heating up under Campbell! After a rocky start with decommits following the coaching change, PSU has clawed back to nine verbal commitments in the 2026 class. Can Penn State get to 15 commits? Penn State takes on Clemson, Saturday, December 27th in Yankee Stadium. A matchup everyone at the beginning of the season thought could be for a National Championship, is now set for a meaningless bowl game. How will the team prepare? Coach Terry Smith leads the team one more time as interim head coach. If you're amped for the bowl and the Campbell rebuild, LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and ring the bell for instant updates!

On their weekly Penn State football podcast, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Nittany Lions insider Isaiah Maldonado discuss the big topics surrounding the Pinstripe Bowl matchup with Clemson. This show is presented by FanDuel. How important is a victory against a peer program for interim coach Terry Smith and incoming coach Matt Campbell as they look to rebuild from James Franklin's firing? Is this an audition game for QB Ethan Grunkemeyer with 2026 starting candidates including Rocco Becht and Beau Pribula in the transfer portal? Is it surprising that Kaytron Allen has not opted out of the game to prepare for the NFL as teammate Nick Singleton has? And what should we make of the relative lack of opt-outs and transfer portal defections for this game beyond names like Zane Durant, Zakee Wheatley, Chaz Coleman and Elliott Washington? 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.

Welcome back to Hardcore Penn State Football, the go-to podcast for unfiltered breakdowns, exclusive insights, and fiery debates on Nittany Lions football! In this jam-packed episode, hosts Cory Lestochi & Shawn Kane unpack the latest whirlwind developments in Happy Valley under new head coach Matt Campbell. As the team gears up for the Pinstripe Bowl and eyes a 2026 rebound, we're diving into the recruiting surge, the explosive leaked audio from AD Pat Kraft paired with King Mack's candid remarks, Nick Singleton's big Senior Bowl invite, and the uncertain status of QB Ethan Grunkemeyer. From drama to draft buzz, this episode has it all – tune in for expert analysis and what it means for PSU's path forward in the Big Ten. The Nittany Lions are back in beast mode on the recruiting front! With Matt Campbell at the wheel, PSU is aggressively rebuilding after the Franklin firing decimated the 2027 class and thinned out 2026 commitments. We detail the recent wave of additions to the 2026 class, including intriguing three-star safeties like Bryson Williams and other under-the-radar gems that fit Campbell's gritty, developmental style. Shawn breaks down how Campbell's staff is flipping decommits, targeting Midwest and DMV prospects, and leveraging NIL to compete with powerhouses like Ohio State. Plus, early looks at 2027 targets, such as West Coast offensive tackles where PSU is emerging as a favorite. Mike analyzes commitment trackers showing the class climbing from rock bottom to promising, with speculation on how these moves address needs at OL, DB, and WR for long-term contention. Drama alert! We dissect the controversial leaked 20-minute audio from Athletic Director Pat Kraft's players' meeting, where he rants about the coaching change, internal failures, and even takes shots at Oregon and other programs. Kraft's NSFW comments on where things went wrong – including failing to land top targets like BYU's Kalani Sitake – have gone viral, leading to his public apology and fan backlash. Then, we pivot to safety King Mack's eye-opening remarks, blaming the 6-6 season on "lack of leadership, selfishness, and buy-in" from players. Mack praises Campbell for "knowing what went wrong" and fixing it, revealing internal tensions under Kraft. Our hosts debate the fallout: Is this a wake-up call for accountability, or does it expose deeper program issues? Big news for one of PSU's stars – running back Nicholas Singleton has accepted an invitation to the 2026 Senior Bowl! As the fifth Nittany Lion to commit (joining standouts like Kaytron Allen, Drew Shelton, and Zane Durant), this is a huge showcase for Singleton to boost his NFL draft stock after a solid senior year. The quarterback room is in flux, and freshman Ethan Grunkemeyer is at the center of it. With 1,079 passing yards, 6 TDs, and 4 INTs in limited 2025 action, the former top-100 recruit (No. 5 QB in his class) is weighing his options amid the coaching transition. We explore his uncertain future – stay and compete under Campbell, or hit the transfer portal for a "best situation" in 2026? Grunkemeyer remains focused on the Pinstripe Bowl vs. Clemson, but rumors swirl about a potential reset in the QB room. Our hosts analyze his strengths (arm talent, mobility from Lewis Center, OH), areas for growth, and recruiting expert takes on whether PSU should rebuild around him or look elsewhere. Includes stats breakdowns and comparisons to past PSU QBs. We tackle your questions from the mailbag – Can Campbell salvage the recruiting classes? What's the real story behind Kraft's rant? Plus, our "Buy or Sell" segment on Grunkemeyer's stay-or-go odds and Singleton's draft projection.

Welcome back to Hardcore Penn State Football, your ultimate source for in-depth analysis, insider scoops, and passionate discussions on all things Nittany Lions! In this blockbuster episode, hosts Shawn Kane & Cory Lestochi dive headfirst into the seismic shifts rocking Happy Valley as we transition into a new chapter of Penn State football. With the 2025 season wrapping up and massive changes on the horizon, we're breaking down the hiring of Matt Campbell, staff overhauls, key retentions, aggressive recruiting moves, and the ironic Pinstripe Bowl matchup against Clemson. Whether you're a die-hard alum or a casual fan, this episode is packed with insights, hot takes, and what it all means for PSU's future in the Big Ten and beyond. We kick things off with the bombshell news that's sent shockwaves through college football – Penn State's bold move to bring in Matt Campbell from Iowa State as the new head coach. After a tumultuous end to the James Franklin era, Campbell's proven track record of building gritty, resilient programs (hello, Cyclones upsets!) makes him the perfect fit for PSU's blue-collar ethos. We discuss his coaching philosophy, why he left Ames, his contract details (rumored 8-year deal with heavy incentives), and how his emphasis on player development and innovative schemes could elevate the Nittany Lions back to national contention. Is this the hire that finally delivers a playoff breakthrough? Our hosts debate the pros, cons, and fan reactions from social media. No head coach succeeds alone, and Campbell is wasting no time assembling his dream team. We break down the early hires and pursuits for assistant coaches and support staff, including defensive coordinator candidates. Highlights include rumors of poaching key Iowa State assistants, targeting well-known people personnel for recruiting roles, and bolstering the strength and conditioning program. Plus, we speculate on budget implications and how this staff could mesh with existing talent. In a massive win for continuity, Penn State retains cornerbacks coach and recruiting guru Terry Smith! Smith's loyalty amid the coaching change is a game-changer. We explore why he chose to stay (hint: deep ties to the program and Campbell's vision), his impact on developing elite secondaries (think Joey Porter Jr.), and how his recruiting prowess in the PA region will be crucial moving forward. With Campbell at the helm, Penn State's recruiting machine is revving up. We detail the early targets in the 2026 and 2027 classes, focusing on blue-chip prospects from Pennsylvania, Ohio, and the Midwest – including top-ranked QBs, edge rushers, and offensive linemen who've already received offers. Our hosts discuss Campbell's "must-fit" pitch and how it differentiates from the previous regime. Then, we shift to the Transfer Portal frenzy: Who's on the radar? How do they fit within Campbell's system? We also touch on de-commitments from the Franklin era and how PSU plans to flip them back. Wrapping up the 2025 season with a bang – Penn State takes on Clemson in the iconic Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium! Multiple Penn State stars have already opted out: DT Zane Durant, S Zakee Wheatley, and RB Nick Singleton. How will Matt Campbell handle the bowl practices? OC Andy Kotelnicki plans to call plays for the game, and DBs coach, Anthony Pointdexter will replace former DC Jim Knowles (who left for Tennessee).

This week's episode is loaded with drama, debates, and deep-dive reactions from a massive weekend across college football. We start with rapid-fire recaps from around the country — including Alabama vs. Georgia, Texas Tech vs. BYU, Duke vs. Virginia, and Ohio State vs. Indiana — plus Nick breaks out his three favorite OSU FG's of all time. Then we turn to the College Football Playoff rankings and the controversies they created. Did Notre Dame deserve a spot? Should Alabama have snuck in? And with two Group of 5 teams making the field, is this the new normal or a one-year fluke? We also react to the chaos in South Bend after the Notre Dame athletic director blasted the ACC and the Irish announced they're skipping their bowl game. Smart move or a terrible message? Next, we go bowl shopping. Outside the CFP, there are some legitimately great matchups on the slate — including Michigan vs. Texas in the Citrus Bowl, Iowa vs. Vanderbilt in the ReliaQuest Bowl, Boise State vs. Washington in the LA Bowl, Penn State vs. Clemson in the Pinstripe Bowl, Georgia Tech vs. BYU in the Pop-Tarts Bowl, and a sneaky-good Arizona vs. SMU showdown in the Holiday Bowl. Finally, we close with Rick Neuheisel's bold prediction that bowl games will eventually become the first games of the season. Is he out of his mind… or ahead of the curve? It's playoff takes, bowl mania, and wall-to-wall college football — let's go.

Host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Nittany Lions insider Isaiah Maldonado to react to Penn State's decision to keep interim coach Terry Smith on new head coach Matt Campbell's coaching staff following the latter's hiring over the weekend. This show is presented by FanDuel. Was keeping Smith the right call? Both in terms of healing wounds from James Franklin's firing with players? And with fans who've wanted to see Joe Paterno's legacy further centered in the program? Or could the move set the stage for future division inside and outside the program? Especially if and when Campbell hits a rough patch? And what should we make of Campbell's reported choice to bring Jon Heacock with him from Iowa State as defensive coordinator? Presumably displacing Jim Knowles and his expensive contract? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders the matchup with Clemson in the Pinstripe Bowl and the possible opt-outs of prominent names including Zane Durant, Dani Dennis-Sutton, Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton.

Pinstripe Bowl Press Conference Q&A 12-9 by Phil Kornblut, Chris Burgin, and Josh Cohen

Pinstripe Bowl Press Conference Opening 12-9 by Phil Kornblut, Chris Burgin, and Josh Cohen

All right, college sports fans -- Clemson vs. Penn State is set as the Pinstripe Bowl matchup, and our first preview of the game in NYC is here!

The Athletic predicts that Pitt and Penn State could me in the Pinstripe Bowl.

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, it's time to get back in the saddle and preview some Nebraska football. The 3-1 Huskers host the 3-1 Michigan State Spartans for the fourth straight home game (fifth if you include Husker Nation's takeover of Arrowhead Stadium). Nebraska is coming off a 30-27 loss to Michigan. Sparty also won their first three games just to lose their conference opener. The Spartans have two wins over lesser competition (Western Michigan and Youngstown State) as well as a two-point win over the ACC's Boston College. Yes, the same Boston College that Nebraska beat in the Pinstripe Bowl at the end of 2024. Every indication is that the Huskers will not see a defensive front like Michigan's, probably for the rest of the season. So heading into this weekend, are you optimistic? What's your mindset? Where are your five hearts? We'll peel back the bandages and prepared to hope again.

Get ready, Hoosier fans! Scott is joined by special guest and former IU football player, Mitchell Paige, on CrimsonCast to break down everything Indiana football and get you ready for the Illinois game this weekend. Hear why the offensive line is the team's biggest strength, how Mendoza is thriving, and who Mitchell's secret MVP is (it's not who you think!). They also tackle the bittersweet memories of the Pinstripe Bowl and discuss the challenges and opportunities ahead. Don't miss this lively discussion!

We ask what we do now that the CWS is over, Matt detests scooters, Connor gets reacquainted with his daughter, the foul ball into booth, Matt gets confused, more stories from the College World Series, and Nebraska's Pinstripe Bowl rings.

Nick Bahe and Former Husker Bo Ruud recap Nebraska's bowl win over Boston College. They discuss Ty Robinson's performance and dominance, the importance of closing the game out, the special teams disasters, Dylan Raiola, the impact of the win, and more!
