ENOUGH IS ENOUGH: Two notable programs make waves as Penn State fires Offensive Coordinator Mike Yurcich and Texas A&M fires Head Coach Jimbo Fisher. CAN HE DO IT?: Jayden Daniels is putting up ridiculous numbers, but is the media failing his Heisman campaign?

Mike Yurcich is gone. Penn State's Big Ten championships hopes are, too. James Franklin is under questioning. And the Nittany Lions are going to be under the microscope as the season winds down.
On this week's episode of the Penn Stated podcast, hosts Donnie Collins (The Scranton Times-Tribune) and Sam Fremin (The Citizens Voice) break down Franklin's decision to fire Yurcich and pursue his sixth offensive coordinator in 11 seasons.
What does it mean for Penn State's head coach, as he approaches what Sam calls the most critical hire of his tenure? And, what traits should he be looking for in the next coordinator? Donnie and Sam both give their thoughts on that, and make their picks.
Plus, they discuss why Yurcich failed to get the offense to reach the levels most expected he would, the negative fan reaction after the loss and...of course...2-point conversions and the value of common sense.

It's the question most Penn State fans have been wrestling with since the Nittany Lions lost the latest in a long line of existential struggles against Ohio State last Saturday, and frankly, they should be used to the feeling by now.
Penn State's 11-game winning streak and circled the drain yet again against the Buckeyes, leaving the rest of what once was viewed as a potential breakthrough season very much in doubt.
Penn Stated hosts Donnie Collins (Scranton Times-Tribune) and Sam Fremin (Citizens Voice) talked about many of the issues that now surround a program that just can't seem to get past the top-level teams in the Big Ten. Even when it seems as if it has every reason to believe it should.
They give their thoughts on whether fans should have belief in the program as it stands right now. They also delve into their thoughts on who is most to blame for the latest Buckeyes defeat, and who is getting too much of the blame. Is head coach James Franklin the right man for the job, and should one poorly-coached loss change that?
Should this be a defining moment for quarterback Drew Allar, who did not play well?
As usual, there are a lot of questions with this program.
And, the answers aren't as easy to come by.

Sean Clifford is playing well, but Drew Allar is the future. There's no doubt about either, and on this week's episode of Penn Stated, host Donnie Collins chats with former Penn State star quarterback and West Scranton legend Matt McGloin about which signal-caller gives the Nittany Lions the best chance to win, right now?

Also, what does Donnie believe this team needs to do much better to be a factor in the Big Ten title race? And, a prediction for the upcoming game against Northwestern at Beaver Stadium.
