Show Notes
Penn State is 2–0 with shutouts and blowouts, but fans are still uneasy after the 34–0 win over FIU. Host Zach Seyko explains why criticism of the offense is both fair and overblown, and whether Drew Allar’s deep-ball “moon throws” are an accuracy problem or part of the coaching plan.
We also break down Chaz Coleman’s rise at defensive end, Jalen Harvey showing progress, and the RB tandem of Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen combining for over 200 rushing yards despite missed opportunities. Plus, why these small miscues are fixable — and why the season still comes down to Oregon and Ohio State.
