Welcome back into the Lions 24-7 podcast.

I am Tyler Donny.

We got a lot to get to on this episode.

We're going to take a step back from the doom and gloom and climate of conversations

that we've been dealing with since the postgame show against UCLA.

And really going back to post-game against Oregon, we're going to look a little bit more big picture on what's going on here with Penn State in this matchup via a Northwestern reporter. We're going to have him join us from Chicago and spend a little bit of time breaking down with the Wildcats will bring to Beaver Stadium. They are three and two like Penn State. We'll talk about their path to this point, players to know, and we'll get a prediction from him as well and see how he sees things playing out for Northwestern on the road Saturday afternoon in Beaver Stadium. Of course, we'll be inside Beaver Stadium, very curious what the environment is going to be like for this team. There'll be recruits in Beaver Stadium, as there always are. We're going to get into that with Tyler Calvuso in a bit. He'll give you some names to know that players coming to

campus. And we've got a lot going on right now in terms of coverage at Lines247.com. Very active this week so far. We had Drew Aller, the quarterback of this team, on a phone call, just a little while ago on a Zoom call, I should say. Got a chance to pick his brain. Daniel Gallin asked a couple questions. I asked a couple questions. A bunch of coverage over there. Just on Tuesday, Zach Key Wheatley, a key player for this defense, key leader for this defense. And Drew Shelton, same goes for him in terms of leadership and a guy who's been counted on a lot, an offensive tackle, had a lot of questions sent their way. On Tuesday, we got a lot of coverage over at Lines 247.com. I'm going to be honest with you. I tweeted something about this early in the week. There's a sense right now coming off a loss like this and where the team is. Some of this media group that we work with, and I have a lot of respect for so much of it, they're not necessarily showing up in the way that I thought they would this week. And I can tell you,

we're doing that at lines 247.com. We got the coverage over there at lines 247.com,

quotes, notes, context, stories. And so I highly encourage you to check things out.

Win or lose, no matter how tough this season may get, we will keep doing our job as diligent as possible, asking the questions, showing up to these calls, and we'll bring you what you need to see over at the website. We'll also do that here on the podcast. Later today on Wednesday, we're going to get over to the practice field. We'll get a chance to see where this team's at. From a physical standpoint, you know, who may be missing injury that we need to figure out. There was some shuffling on the offensive

line last Saturday at UCLA. What does that look right now? Is that sustaining through another

week? And then we'll have James Franklin again for a bit of a media interaction after practice

per usual. So check out video content, interview content coming to lines 247.com

on Wednesday evening. I mentioned we got Tyler Cal Barruso coming on for recruiting. Let's get into

that right now. Tyler, good to see you, buddy. Things have changed a bit since we last had you on.

You were breaking down the wait out recruiting reaction last week when we last spoke.

There was a big weekend in between those

two events. And obviously Penn State has dropped two in a row stunning a lot of people across

the country. We're going to talk about how that may be reverberating on the recruiting trail

with you. But let's begin with the fact that Penn State's only offered uncommitted target in the 2027 class is no

longer uncommitted. He's heading to the SEC discuss those dynamics for us, why it may have

happened, and we'll talk about quarterback after that. Yeah, four-star pastor Keegan Croucher
