Episode Details

The Penn State Nittany Lions Football team gears up for two big events this week. The first, and most important to fans, is the Blue-White practice this Saturday at 1 pm inside Beaver Stadium. We spoke with players and coaches earlier this week in preparation for the upcoming fan event and will discuss what we heard from them on Tuesday. The other big event is the NFL Draft, starting Thursday night in Pittsburgh. We’ll cover what fans need to know about the three-day event and how many Penn State players we expect to be drafted this week.
