Summary
(Timestamps/links in notes) Max and Sam are joined by The Athletic's Penn State scribe Audrey Snyder on today's show! Audrey shares her thoughts about all things Penn State, including Drew Allar, the surprisingly good defense, if the Nittany Lions are good enough to beat OSU and/or Michigan, and, on an unrelated but fun note, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce! The guys also discuss the Pac-12 heirarchy, and they re-draft their pre-season Heisman picks.
