Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds spoke this week with Daniel Gallen, the beat writer from Fight On State, the 247Sports' site covering Penn State athletics, and Daniel was kind enough to offer some insight into what Washington fans should expect to see from the Nittany Lions.
Starting with setting the scene, Kim and Daniel talk a little about Penn State and what makes them special, not just as a Big Ten program but the town of State College and where it sits in Pennsylvania.
Then they get into the matchup of Penn State's offense versus Washington's defense. Daniel talked about Rocco Becht, the offensive line, and also how getting a couple of key receivers back from injury could be a big key against Washington on Saturday.
They switch sides and Daniel talks about the defensive standouts that the Nittany Lions will count on to try and stop whichever quarterback Washington names as a starter.
And if the Nittany Lions have a 42-yard kick to win it all, how confident is Daniel that Penn State will come away with a made field goal?
They finish the podcast talking about how well Penn State fans travel and where the Nittany Lions have gone for away games so far this season.
