September 17, 2015

Rutgers continued down a bumpy road full of disciplinary issues and controversies this week, when the university announced football coach Kyle Flood would be suspended three games and fined $50,000 for inappropriate contact with a professor.

KSN Podcast: What to expect from Penn State’s offensive line vs. Buffalo

September 11, 2015

Penn State’s offensive line surrendered 10 sacks and contributed to a sputtering second-half offense in a 27-10 road loss to Temple last weekend.

And there were many as the Nittany Lions managed just 52 yards and zero points in the final 51 minutes of…

KSN Podcast: Talking Penn State draft prospects with NFL Draft Scout’s Rob Rang

August 29, 2015

Penn State has arguably the most polarizing prospect for the 2016 NFL draft in rising junior quarterback Christian Hackenberg, a player with immense physical skills but who comes off a subpar sophomore season.

KSN Podcast: Projecting Penn State football’s top impact newcomers

August 28, 2015

Penn State is building a deeper roster in 2015 as the program reloads after three years of NCAA sanctions. The total scholarship count is back in the 80s and the two-deep is in a good place, but young players still make up an inordinate percentage of the roster.
