Penn State Football and Basketball Scout Josh Davis analyzes the close win over Bowling Green this past weekend, and why fans shouldn't overreact to how it went. Despite a rough showing from the Nittany Lions, there were still a lot of things that went well, and considering how much other teams struggled in week 2, it definitely could have been worse. Also, having a rough game early on (especially before a bye) gives the team a chance to work on some things to get better.

Penn State Football and Basketball Scout Josh Davis talks all about the receiver room going into the Blue-white game and next season, and why the success of Julian Fleming means the success of our entire offense. Without a true #1 receiver last year the offense struggled, especially in big games. A playmaker with the talent level of Fleming is exactly what Coach Kotelnicki needs to get the Nittany Lions offense opened up and back to the level of competing with the top teams in the country. Then Josh talks about the transfer portal in college basketball, and how crazy things are right now with the amount of players entering. Coach Rhoades needs four transfer players assuming Puff and Ace return, with center and shooting guard being major concerns.
