James Franklin’s move to Virginia Tech is already shaking up Penn State football. Host Zach Seyko welcomes Hunter Hodies, Virginia Tech alum and Locked On Penguins host, to analyze how Franklin’s staff and recruiting network could impact Penn State’s future.

They discuss possible staff shifts (Terry Smith, Andy Frank, Ricky Rahne), potential player movement (Tony Rojas, Amare Campbell, Anthony Donkoh), and whether Franklin can rebuild Virginia Tech into an ACC power.

Plus: The five-year outlook for both programs — and why Penn State’s next coaching hire could define the next decade.

Penn State Wrestling dominated the Army Black Knight Invitational — but it wasn’t all smooth sailing. Host Zach Seyko breaks down the weekend’s biggest storylines, starting with Luke Lilledahl’s shocking upset by teammate Nate Desmond and Aaron Nagao’s latest injury setback. The chaos at the lighter weights continues with PJ Duke’s narrow 2–1 victory over Joe Sealey, proving that Penn State’s depth might be both its greatest strength and biggest challenge. At heavyweight, Cole Mirasola once again edged Lucas Cochran to extend his lead in one of the program’s most competitive lineup battles. Meanwhile, stars like Levi Haines, Rocco Welsh, and Mitchell Mesenbrink reminded everyone why Penn State remains the clear national frontrunner. From lineup drama and internal wrestle-offs to dominant championship performances, Zach explains what these results mean for Cael Sanderson’s squad heading into the next phase of the season.

Penn State Nittany Lions face coaching chaos but find stability under interim coach Terry Smith. Can this revitalized squad push past Nebraska and keep their bowl hopes alive? Zach Seyko explores how Penn State, led by Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton, is rallying for Senior Night—where record-breaking runs and emotional send-offs for the seniors are on the line.

Key topics include Penn State’s evolving offensive identity, Terry Smith’s bold strategic pivots, and the search for a permanent head coach with names like Kalen DeBoer and Bob Chesney in the mix. Zach Seyko breaks down Nebraska’s strengths, Penn State's defensive adjustments under Jim Knowles, and offers bold score predictions while asking—can the Nittany Lions close out at home and shape the future of their program?

Big Ten College Football Playoff chaos looms as Oregon Ducks face USC Trojans in a game that could determine whether three, four, or even five conference teams make the expanded playoff. Can the Trojans pull off the upset in Eugene and crash the party?
The panel breaks down Oregon's defensive dominance against USC's explosive passing attack, Michigan Wolverines' controversial playoff path despite their struggles, and Penn State Nittany Lions' momentum under interim coach Terry Smith against Nebraska Cornhuskers. Wisconsin Badgers' offensive woes take center stage as they host Bret Bielema's Illinois Fighting Illini, while transfer portal drama swirls around Dylan Raiola and coaching hot seats. Key matchups include Bryce Underwood's Michigan squad at Maryland Terrapins, plus upset predictions across the conference.
Tune in for expert predictions, betting insights, and insider analysis on the biggest weekend in Big Ten football as conference championship implications hang in the balance.
