The Obligatory PSU Podcast

Ten off-season stories signaling better times ahead for Penn State football.

Show Notes

Although adversity of all kinds plagued the Nittany Lions last season on their way to a historic 0-5 start, hope is on the horizon and help is on the way. From a recent commitment from blue chip quarterback Drew Allar, potentially the Franklin staff's biggest QB recruit thus far, to a series of roster, staff, and facility improvements, the signs are everywhere that Penn State football is poised to bounce back in a major way from the struggles of 2020. In this episode, the guys review 10 stories from the nascent off-season that all point in a positive direction for the program's future:

10. Arrival of new coaching consultants
9. Lasch upgrades approved
