INDIANA HOOSIERS stun the college football world as 2-touchdown favorites at PENN STATE. How did the Nittany Lions fall this far after firing James Franklin?

Jacob Goins and Zach Seyko break down the dramatic reversal of fortunes between these BIG TEN programs. The discussion examines PENN STATE's systemic issues and resistance to change under interim coach Terry Smith, INDIANA's unwavering identity under Curt Cignetti, and critical personnel problems plaguing the Nittany Lions' wide receiver room. Key topics include what victory would mean for each program's trajectory, PENN STATE's coaching search featuring candidates like Mike Elko and Jeff Brohm, and why this matchup represents an impossible situation for INDIANA despite their top-3 ranking.

The hosts analyze running backs Kaelon Black, Roman Hemby, and Khobie Martin's dominant performances, quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer's baptism by fire against elite defenses, and the stark contrast between INDIANA's consistency and PENN STATE's uncertainty heading into this pivotal BEAVER STADIUM showdown.

Discover why PENN STATE is the premier coaching job available and what's really at stake for both programs in the BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP race.
