The Obligatory PSU Podcast

Roster breakdown for the 2020 Penn State Nittany Lions (offense).

Show Notes

Chris enlists the assistance of friend and fellow LION 90.7fm alum Mike Levine to analyze the 2020 Penn State roster in two installments, beginning with the offense. New coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca brings a track record of success to an offense stacked with veteran talent at nearly every position (with the notable exception of wide receiver). Chris and Mike break down each position group, talk about areas of promise and room for improvement, and speculate on how Ciarrocca's influence might impact a unit expected to be the strength of this year's Nittany Lions. Plus a little non-football analysis as upstart Monkey Business takes on tried and true Peanut Butter Swirl in the Penn State Berkey Creamery's Fantasy Flavor League. Defense and special teams next episode.

The goal is to touch on a broad variety of topics relating to the Nittany Lions in conversations that are frequently funny and occasionally profound, all while enjoying a few (or more) adult beverages.
