Description

Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Penn State insiders Isaiah Maldonado and Lyle Alenstein break down the Nittany Lions' 30-24 double-overtime loss to Oregon on Saturday at Beaver Stadium.


What led to the defeat? How should we rate QB Drew Allar's performance after he struggled for much of the game but helped erase a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit and nearly clawed Penn State to a victory? How concerned should the Nittany Lions be about their rushing attack, as Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton were largely held in check by the Ducks?


What does this loss mean for Penn State's Big Ten title hopes and spot in the College Football Playoff? And why can James Franklin never seem to get over the hump and win these big games? Our duo answers those questions and more.
