Penn State dominated Nevada, but two problem areas remain: offensive line chemistry and defensive end depth behind Dani Dennis-Sutton. Zach Seyko and guest Cory Lestochi break down why the O-line needs time to gel, whether Zuriah Fisher can be counted on, and why the DTs and secondary are trending up with standouts like Ty Blanding, Enai White, Xavier Gilliam, and Antoine Belgrave-Shorter.Become an every-dayer!

Penn State is getting healthier, but there are also major depth chart and special teams storylines after Week 1. Host Zach Seyko updates the status of Zuriah Fisher, Devonte Ross, Quinton Martin, Zion Tracy, and J’ven Williams, with all trending in the right direction.He also breaks down a surprise move: punter Riley Thompson, a former captain, was benched for Gabe Nwosu, showing that no spot is safe on James Franklin’s roster. Finally, Zach reacts to national analysts suggesting Penn State should drop five spots in the AP Poll after beating Nevada 46–11 — and explains why that argument doesn’t hold up.Become an every-dayer!

Penn State’s biggest stars vs Nevada were obvious — Dani Dennis-Sutton, Trebor Pena, and Kyron Hudson. But several other players quietly made a major impact. Host Zach Seyko highlights the overlooked performances of Amare Campbell at linebacker, Xavier Gilliam and Enai White at defensive tackle, and Antoine Belgrave-Shorter & Kenny Woseley in the secondary. Plus, a true freshman no one has talked about — cornerback Jahmir Joseph — actually logged the most snaps of any first-year player.Become an every-dayer!

Penn State opened the 2025 season with a 46–11 win over Nevada, and there was plenty to take away from Beaver Stadium. Host Zach Seyko and producer Zane Brancefield break down the positives and lingering concerns.The wide receivers stole the show, with Kyron Hudson and Trebor Peña emerging as a dangerous duo for Drew Allar, while Devonte Ross will only add more firepower once healthy. On defense, Dani Dennis-Sutton looked like an All-American, forcing two fumbles and dominating his matchups — but questions remain about the young defensive ends behind him. And on offense, the run game never found its rhythm, though Penn State’s offensive line and backfield remain strengths moving forward.Become an every-dayer!

Penn State’s depth chart for Week 1 vs Nevada is taking shape — but some position battles remain unsettled. Host Zach Seyko breaks down every unit, from quarterback to special teams, and highlights which players fans should keep an eye on Saturday.We cover why Ethan Grunkemeyer is QB2 over Jaxon Smolik (for now), the importance of settling RB3 behind Singleton and Allen, and how transfers Trebor Peña, Kyron Hudson, and Devonte Ross shape the receiver rotation. On defense, Chaz Coleman’s meteoric rise and Daryus Dixson’s green light prove freshmen will have an immediate impact. Plus, a score prediction, betting angle, and the three players to watch against Nevada.Become an every-dayer!

Penn State enters 2025 with its most complete roster and staff under James Franklin, and the buzz is real. Host Zach Seyko is joined by special guest Matty Fresh to discuss why this year feels different, how the returning core of Drew Allar, Nicholas Singleton, Kaytron Allen, Deny Dennis-Sutton, and Zane Durant sets PSU apart, and why coaching upgrades with Jim Knowles, Andy Kotelnicki, and Stan Drayton could push the Nittany Lions to a national title run. We give full season predictions, stat projections, and a quick preview of Penn State vs Nevada, plus why this team may be Franklin’s best shot yet at winning it all.Become an every-dayer!

Game week is here, and Penn State has some surprises brewing in its lineup. Host Zach Seyko breaks down why a starter from last season could be on the bench as the offensive line battles heat up between Nolan Rucci, Anthony Donkoh, Cooper Cousins, and TJ Shanahan. On defense, Xavier Gilliam’s breakout camp could push veteran Alonzo Ford out of the starting lineup.Plus, quarterback Drew Allar has been given rare trust by Andy Kotelnicki to call his own plays at the line of scrimmage, something most college quarterbacks never do. And on the recruiting front, five-star Kemon Spell went off for 293 rushing yards and five touchdowns, while 2026 commit Messiah Mickens reaffirmed his pledge, and Penn State continues to push for a flip of five-star edge Zion Elee from Maryland.Become an every-dayer!
