Brian Hartline to Penn State is no longer just a rumor — it’s gaining real traction. Zach Seyko (Locked On Nittany Lions) and Jay Stephens (Locked On Buckeyes) discuss why Hartline’s fit at Penn State makes sense, what Ohio State would lose if it happens, and which players or assistants could follow him. Then, they break down Saturday’s Penn State–Ohio State matchup: the betting line, keys to the game, and why confidence — not talent — defines Penn State’s season. Finally, score predictions, X-factors, and why both agree Ohio State wins big in Columbus.
