Episode Details

Penn State survived a sluggish 27-9 win over Temple, and Sean Fitz joins to break down what went wrong — and right — a day removed from the game.
 

We start with the big picture: three empty red zone trips to open the game set the tone for a much sloppier performance than Week One. We discuss the human side of Max Granville's season-ending injury and how the defense has to reconfigure its pass rush without him, why the run defense breakdown falls more on linebackers and safeties than the defensive tackles, and Marcus Neal's rough day in coverage. On offense, we cover Rocco Becht's up-and-down day that still produced elite numbers, the Chase Sowell drop conversation, and the ongoing run game debate around Carson Hansen's workload. We close with Tony Rojas's game-changing interception, explained in his own words.
