A first glance at a second chance
Show Notes

Penn State is 5-0, ranked in the top-10 and facing a top-5 opponent on the road with a chance at a memorable season resting in the balance.

Sound familiar?

On this week's Penn Stated podcast, host Donnie Collins talks with veteran Penn State beat writer Rich Scarcella of the Reading Eagle to break down what the Nittany Lions will need to do avoid a collapse similar to the one they couldn't avoid when they were 5-0 in 2021. Plus, who is the most important person on Penn State's sideline this week, when it comes to formulating a path to victory against unbeaten Michigan?

Donnie also chats with colleague Joe Baress, the Times-Tribune's wrestling writer who is also a longtime Michigan fan. Who are both of them picking to walk out of the Big House with a victory on Saturday? And, which of Penn State's two quarterbacks - veteran Sean Clifford or talented-but-untested true freshman Drew Allar - would Joe rather his beloved Wolverines have to face in pursuit of an important win on Saturday?

All that, and even a little bonus baseball coverage, on this week's episode of Penn Stated.
