Summary
Tyler Donohue and Sean Fitz are back to start Week 9 of the Penn State football season. But before they can turn their attention to Saturday's game against Ohio State, they dissect what went wrong in the Nittany Lions' loss to Illinois. They break down the QB play, the inability to stop the run, some questionable decisions by the coaching staff, and more. They also dive into recruiting and how the 2-game slide could affect, if at all, the 2022 class.
