The Obligatory PSU Podcast

Burying Penn State's loss to Nebraska; looking ahead to Iowa.

Show Notes

In this special mid-week Corn Belt Omnibus edition of Obligatory, the guys look back on another frustrating Saturday, as the Penn State's trip to Lincoln brought a few signs of life, but ultimately ended up like every contest thus far in 2020, dropping the Nittany Lions to 0-4 for only the second time in program history. The only other time PSU dug itself a four-loss hole to start the season (2001), the Lions won their 5th game and managed to string together some wins to remember. Will history repeat as an improving Iowa Hawkeyes team comes to Happy Valley, with Penn State desperate to stave off its first-ever 0-5 start? Brandon, Chris, Kevin, and Mailman wrap up Nebraska, look ahead to Iowa, and try their best to solve the puzzle box of the 2020 Nittany Lions.

HOSTED BY: Brandon Noble, Mike Herr, Kevin Horne, Chris Buchignani
