As a blissfully relaxed, near-capacity crowd slowly filed out of Beaver Stadium while home team salted away a 45-0 season-opening win, the simplest question haunting an interminably long offseason had been answered: Yes, the Penn State Nittany Lions could still play football, and they were going to be just fine, in fact.\nWith the fandom still milking that sugar high, Matt Campbell takes his team on the road for the first time, looking to exorcise some demons of the deeper past. The Lions return to Lincoln Financial Field for the first time since their infamous 10-sack humbling at the hands of alumnus and Letterman Matt Rhule's 2015 Temple team. That was then.

Today, it is Penn State, no longer hobbled by sanctions and newly relieved of its more recent doubts, that once again looks to hold the upper hand.\nWith half the usuals off pursuing solo projects, the rare Noble-Buchignani tandem wraps up the satisfying win over Marshall and look ahead to the team's trip to Philly.\nHOSTED BY: Brandon Noble, Chris Buchignani\nThe Obligatory PSU Podcast is brought to you once again this season by GOLD HEN BLOODY MARY MIX, a Penn State alumni-owned company, makers of the truly one-of-a-kind Gold Hen Bloody Mary Mix.
