FALL '21 Episode 3: Penn State at Wisconsin

The Obligatory PSU Podcast

The long wait - in many respects, far longer than is usual for this time of year - is finally almost over. Penn State travels to Madison, Wisconsin this weekend to take on a Badgers team facing many of the same questions haunting James Franklin's squad coming off the Big Ten's bizarre and frustrating fake season in 2020. In many ways, a road trip to face a ranked opponent in a hostile environment may seem a less than ideal way to launch a comeback campaign, but perhaps this early test of the 18th-ranked Nittany Lions' mettle represents exactly what they need - a chance to show their fans, and themselves, that last year is over, and that better, more focused coaching and a return to a conventional offseason are the keys to unlocking the talent on a roster primed to compete for a New Year's Day bowl and perhaps more. We sound off on all the challenges, from without and within, that await Penn State at kickoff.
