Happy Thursday! Andy & Ari continue their week of deep dives with the Penn State Nittany Lions. Coming off of a heartbreaking loss to Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl last year, Penn State returns a plethora of talent in University Park. Sean Fitz from On3's Blue White Illustrated joins the show and gives us his best in-depth analysis of the program. Is Drew Allar poised for a great year? How do Penn State fans view James Franklin's tenure? Did the receiver issue get addressed? All that and more in a jam packed show about the Nittany Lions.
