I do think they have a legitimate shot this year. They're loaded. If Allar can just play well, watch out

How many times can they hype up Penn state? They aren’t getting past Ohio State

I mean they have a shite ton of returning players and a favorable schedule. It is a safe pick

Doesn't mean they wont get their dicks pushed in the dirt in the playoffs by a superior team

Allar is the only experienced qb of the top teams. If Moore or Sayin struggle, it’s penn state’s to lose. This is more of a certainty than uncertainty vote to me.

And it’s not like it’s not close

James Franklin is one of the most underrated coaches in America and will eventually breakthrough. People criticize him, but he's had an uphill battle with Ohio State being in the conference. Dude won at Vanderbilt and has won at Penn State. Some coaches it just takes time to eventually get to that point. People forget, it took Tom Osborne years and years to win his first championship.

Yeah but when in recent years have they actually been picked to win the conference in the pre-season?

Penn State has a lot of talent coming back. For years Franklin had that big game monkey on his back but they might’ve exercised that demon in the postseason. Allar, the 2 RBs, the OL, the defense, the playoff experience, etc. there’s a lot to like about 2025 Penn st

They'll drop an inexplicable game early and then beat Ohio State to get into the playoffs.

Maybe he does break through but he's been at Penn State for over a decade.

I just don’t see it with Allar.
He’s never impressed me and yet he has been hyped up for years.
I don’t trust him in a big moment at all.

Allar sucks, so yeah they aren’t winning anything of significance.

The last we saw of Drew Allar, he didn't complete a single pass to a wide receiver. Will be interesting to see what happens when the entire defense doesn't have to focus on Tyler Warren.

Why did Ohio States DC bolt to Penn State? Did not realize Knowles is there now

He wanted a big extension and felt like OSU slow played him
