Show Notes

Coming off a thorough domination of Indiana last weekend, Penn State is eyeing its way back into the top 10 and looking like a possibility for a prestigious New Year's Six bowl bid. Even the granddaddy of them all - the venerable Rose Bowl - seems like a possibility.

But as everything seems to be in the world of Penn State football, there are still so many sidebars, so many interesting debates to be had and decisions to be made.

On this week's episode of Penn Stated, host Donnie Collins chats about what the bowl game will mean to Penn State's present and future with DK Pittsburgh Sports Penn State beat writer Cory Giger about Penn State's bowl possibilities, what the best matchup would be, who should be the quarterback in that game, and what it all could mean for head coach James Franklin's reputation among those who doubt him.

Donnie also recaps the Indiana game, focusing on the contributions of so many true freshmen and whether that type of performance is sustainable the rest of the season. Plus, his early prediction for Saturday's game against Maryland.
