Penn State is 2–0, but questions remain about Drew Allar, especially with Beau Pribula thriving at Missouri. Host Zach Seyko breaks down whether Penn State kept the right quarterback and why Allar’s true test will come in the Whiteout against Oregon.

Before then, Penn State must make a statement against Villanova to quiet doubters, clean up red-zone execution, and get momentum before the bye week. Zach explains why Villanova’s veteran FCS squad could give the Lions a useful test — and why Oregon looks much more dangerous now than it did before the season.
