Penn State vs. SMU: What they said this week

Penn State players spoke with the media on Tuesday as part of the team's media obligations in the playoff. Host Greg Pickel points out an interesting trend that emerged yesterday from the team's top players, including Abdul Carter, Zane Durant, and Nick Singleton. SMU coach Rhett Lashlee also spoke to the media, and we'll review his comments about Penn State and what he had to say about the matchup.

Game Preview

Next, we'll discuss the upcoming game and what we think of the matchup between the two teams. Can Penn State get a decisive win in the cold against a Southern team? We'll discuss the factors and matchups that will decide the outcome of Saturday's game.

Transfer portal activity

While Penn State hasn't signed any new players out of the transfer portal this week, there are plenty of names and news that will interest fans. Former Penn State quarterback Beau Pribula has a list of teams that are potential landing destinations that we'll cover on today's show.

We'll also discuss the latest names that have entered the portal, including USC wide receiver Zachariah Branch. Does he make sense for Penn State, and could the Lions afford him? We'll discuss the wide receiver situation and what that would look like in the offense next year.

Schedule for next week

As we hinted earlier, we'll have a modified holiday schedule next week. We'll recap the game between SMU and Penn State on Monday and discuss the fallout of a win or loss at 10 a.m. on the 23rd. We'll reconvene with a recruiting show on Friday of that week to preview the next wave of recruiting information and transfer portal activity on the 27th.
