The Nittany Pod

So much for a rebound...The team looks checked out, the coach is nonchalant, and we looked like a joke against UCLA. We react and react some more, trying to pick up the pieces. How will the Northwestern game go? Are we going 8-4? 9-3?.........10-2....? What Bowl game would you go to?

Penn State comes up short in a big game yet again, this time even more heartbreaking than the last. Are we over it yet? Is this just what out lives are as Penn State fans? We talk about James Franklin and what could be.

Whiteout week is here, and the best atmosphere in the sport finally has a game to match its caliber for the first time in years! #6 Oregon is coming to town, and we have a lot to talk about. From keys to victory, under the radar players we will be watching for closely; we have fun talking about this monster matchup. Is this the biggest game of James Franklin's career?

We finally got a 50-piece! Penn State beat Villanova 52-6, but it was still very sluggish to start, and disjointed throughout. Now we wonder; is this team up for the challenge they are going to receive in two weeks? Can they achieve what we all think they can?What would you grade each unit's performance in the "preseason"? Villanova reactions, biggest concerns, Week 4 picks, & much more!

TK is back as we debrief about one of the most frustrating shutouts you will see. Penn State beat FIU 34-0 but left a lot to be desired and had all of us scratching our heads. What's wrong with Nick Singleton? Drew still inconsistent, and Chaz Coleman is incredible. Good, Bad, & Ugly; Run with that/Pass on that; Villanova score predictions, & Week 3 picks!

Penn State starts it's 2025 campaign without a hitch as it beat Nevada 46-11, and we overreact *just* a little bit to the first official weekend of College Football. Good, bad, & ugly, player of the game, Run with that/Pass on that, Week 2 CFB picks, & much more!

We are SO back! 2025 is a critical season for James Franklin & Penn State, and expectations are SKY high. We talk about all the hype and give our predictions for the upcoming season. What Constitutes a successful season? Is 44.5 too high of a betting line? NEW "Run with that? or Pass on that?" segment with takes for the season. And of course, our score predictions with Week 1 picks!

It's time for the biggest game on our schedule, and it is all we want to talk about.

Penn State will be playing with house money this weekend. They will be loose, and with everything around OSU right now, this game is for the taking....but can we take it?

- Ohio State expectations & score prediction

- Injury arguments

- Outlandish promises

After a WILD week 6 in College Football, we look back on what felt like an underwhelming performance against UCLA and have a chat about the upcoming showdown with their cross-town rival, the USC Trojans.

Coach Franklin called for White Out......Energy, after setting program records and tenure records against Kent State. Illinois comes in off of a good looking performance, but Abdul Carter & DDS both just killed a man, & Penn State is looking to notch an unexpected ranked win at home.
