The overrated, the underrated and the most important
Penn State knows where it's ranked (not that it matters).They'll sign up for finishing where they start, too.On this week's episode of the Penn Stated podcast, co-hosts Donnie Collins and Sam Fremin of The Times-Tribune in Scranton discuss the Nittany Lions' season-opening No. 8 ranking in the Associated Press poll, which was released on Tuesday.

The gap between hope and expectation
Penn State's depth took a hit last week.Or, maybe more accurately, the reality of Penn State's depth at certain positions came to light.But as the Nittany Lions' local media day came and went last weekend. one theme emerged: There's guarded optimism around the program that enough players are ready to take the next step that we could be seeing a new era of Nittany Lions football once the season starts on Aug. 31 in West Virginia.On this week's episode of the Penn Stated podcast, hosts Donnie C...

We'll know it when we see it
Penn State will play football this month, so let the conjecture begin. And, there is certainly plenty to conject (granted, that might not be a word) about as the Nittany Lions opened training camp this week.
Hosts Donnie Collins and Sam Fremin give their thoughts on the suspensions of second-year standouts Jameial Lyons and Kaveion Keys and what their current status means for a defense that is on the thin side without them, especially at defensive end. Who could step up there, and is there any chance it means not having to roll the dice on a young player with little experience?
Donnie and Sam also delve into some of the issues on offense, including the issue brought up in recent weeks by an unlikely source: Leadership. Is quarterback Drew Allar ready to take the offense by the scruff and guide it to newer heights? Is that necessary?
All that, and more, on the Season 3 debut episode of the Penn Stated podcast.
