The wait is over and Penn State's march to their ultimate goal of a national championship begins Saturday against Nevada. The #2 ranked Nittany Lions seemed poised to make this an historic season. As camp breaks, what did James Franklin say that has surprised us? What freshman have the green light early on? Who is the breakout player that Nittany Lions sees step up?

These are some of the topics and questions that Frank Bodani, Mike Gross and Andrew Kalista get into on this season preview episode. Who has the Lions winning the Big Ten and who has an undefeated regular season with some postseason heartbreak?

Joining the show this week is former Penn State Linebacker and eight year NFL vet Nathan Stupar. The State College native talks about his expectations for this season, and what he likes about the leadership of the squad. Stupar also dives deep into his career at Penn State and the grind that it took for him to earn and keep a roster spot in the NFL.

Stupar also talks past Penn State linebackers, would some of Penn State's best be able to play in today's game? Which linebacker had that craziness on the field?

We close out the show with some predictions for the week and also our ranking of the top Linebackers to play at Penn State. Is the list dominated by modern era players or do historical players top the list?
