The Penn State football team has one more game left in the 2025 season, and it’s an important one. The team needs to win on Saturday against Rutgers to reach bowl eligibility after a disastrous season. However, things are looking much brighter after the team demolished Nebraska 37-10 on Saturday.

Today, we’ll discuss all of those topics, plus cover interim head coach Terry Smith’s press conference from Monday. Join the show live at 10 a.m. on YouTube to get the latest information on the Nittany Lions!

Programming Note: With Thanksgiving on Thursday, we will be off Thursday and Friday, which means there will be no recruiting show, Wrestling Show, or Friday Five Things videos this week. We’ll be back Saturday for Penn State vs Nebraska.

“Yeah, you know, like I mentioned earlier, this is like a playoff game we’re playing to get that extra game. Our guys are excited to finish the year out. So far, preparation has gone great. The energy is still in the building. Rutgers is all that matters. It means everything to us in the building, and we’re trying to go out and get this victory.
