Show notes
Penn State football has lost back-to-back Big Ten games, but is Matt Campbell really the person who should be feeling the most pressure?
Zach Seyko is joined by Andrew Kalista (https://x.com/KalistaAndrew) of the Blue-White Tailgate Podcast to debate Pat Kraft's job performance, Penn State's lengthy coaching transition, the Beaver Stadium renovation, attendance and revenue concerns, and how much responsibility Kraft owns for the current direction of Penn State Athletics.
Then, Zach and Andrew explain why judging Matt Campbell after five games is premature, what would make his first season legitimately concerning, and whether Penn State's biggest football problem is talent, coaching or the challenge of blending an entirely new roster and culture.
Plus: why is Penn State still being valued so highly against USC after losses to Wisconsin and Northwestern?
