Roar Lions Roar: A Penn State Football Podcast

What Did We Learn About Penn State in Week One?

Season 7, Ep. 16

Week One of the college football season is officially in the books, and you know what that means – time to overreact to everything!


Bill, Nick, and Flip get together to break down some reactions to Penn State's season-opening win on the road at Purdue and decide whether they are spot-on, overreactions, or underreactions. Will this team cause weekly heart attacks? Is the run game still broken beyond repair? Is this the best secondary James Franklin has ever had? Are Mike Yurcich and Phil Trautwein coaching for their jobs in 2022? The guys discuss all of this, plus more.
