College football is back, and Penn State kicks off its season against Nevada in Beaver Stadium. Host Zach Seyko is joined by Nevada insider Chris Murray to preview the matchup.

We break down why Penn State — returning Drew Allar, Nicholas Singleton, Kaytron Allen, and much of its offensive line — is being called “elite” by Nevada’s head coach Jeff Choate. Expect a ground-heavy attack, conservative passing to build chemistry with new receivers, and an aggressive Jim Knowles defense focused on stopping Nevada QB Chubba Purdy, a run-first playmaker.
