FALL '26 Episode 8: Penn State Roster Review (Defense)
About this episode
Chris and Mike analyze the 2026 Penn State Nittany Lions defense, discussing player roles and coaching changes.
Chris welcomes back his old LION 90.7fm radio partner Mike Levine for a second week to complete their analysis of 2026 Nittany Lions roster.

A shift in scheme and philosophy appears set to give the Lions more bulk up front and greater freedom to play fast at all three levels. Mike and Chris take a closer look at the mix of proven playmakers and aspiring stars set to keep Matt Campbell's team in every game.
