Transcript

00:00Let's talk Nittany Lions, Penn State come up with a big performance without being fantastic.

00:08I feel like it's not a, it's not enough to just get the win.

00:11They win 27 to 11 at this point in the season.

00:14We're looking for style points, were there enough on offer for this big 10 showdown between

00:19Penn State and UCLA for y'all?

00:21I guess I, you know, I, for me with Penn State, I hate to, to keep the bar too high, but James

00:28Franklin's been there long enough.

00:30That staff has recruited four and five star players long enough.

00:35What I want to see from Penn State is, can you catch up to Ohio State in the big 10?

00:41And the beef I have with James Franklin is big games.

00:44He comes up short, whether it was Michigan or Ohio State, he just has not been able to

00:50deliver throughout his career in Happy Valley.

00:53So yeah, you're supposed to beat UCLA.

00:55UCLA might be the worst team in the big 10 this season.

00:59No offense in Deshaun Foster's debut at his alma mater.

01:03So yeah, it's an okay win, but I still need to see more from Drew Aller, from that offense,

01:08no Nicholas Singleton out of the backfield today.

01:12But at the end of the day, Penn State is too good, Dubs, to not be getting to the playoffs

01:17this year and competing for a national championship.

01:20That's where I have the bar set.

01:22So whether it's Ohio State, the Oregons, the Michigans, of the boosted up big 10 right

01:29now, I need to see more from Penn State moving forward.

01:32Yeah, and that's the tough point of where we land at this point in the season, Rich.

01:37Really trying to take away from some of these victories.

01:40What do they really mean in terms of style points, have they picked up enough along the

01:44way?

01:45But they're certainly going to get a very big test taking on the Trojans, USC next week.
