Join the Hardcore Penn State Football Podcast as we preview No. 2 Penn State’s Week 3 clash with Villanova at Beaver Stadium! Coming off a 2-0 start with a dominant 34-0 shutout over FIU, the Nittany Lions face an FCS opponent in Villanova, but with a massive Big Ten opener against No. 4 Oregon looming, this game is all about execution and momentum. We’re diving into what Penn State must do to stay sharp, why this tune-up matters, and how some of the AP Poll voters still hav the Lions reigning supreme at No. 1. Let’s break it down! After an inconsistent offensive showing against FIU—marked by Drew Allar’s 57.6% completion rate and a sluggish 3-of-12 third-down conversions—Penn State can’t afford to sleepwalk through this one. Coach James Franklin emphasized cleaning up the offensive line’s missed assignments and boosting the run game led by Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen. Expect Allar to target Kyron Hudson, Trebor Pena and Devonte Ross early to build rhythm. Can the Lions deliver a crisp, mistake-free performance to send a message before Oregon? This matchup is Penn State’s last chance to iron out kinks before hosting No. 4 Oregon in a Big Ten blockbuster that could shape their playoff path. The defense, led by Dani Dennis-Sutton and a resurgent Zuriah Fisher, has been lights-out, forcing turnovers and holding opponents to 354 combined yards over two games. Freshman DE Chaz Coleman’s emergence adds depth, but Villanova’s balanced attack will challenge PSU’s ability to stay disciplined. Offensively, it’s about consistency—can Allar shake off Week 2’s woes, and will the O-line finally gel? We’re analyzing how this game sets the stage for the Ducks and what Franklin’s staff must prioritize. Despite some offensive hiccups, some of the AP Poll voters remain all-in on Penn State, holding the Nittany Lions at No. 1 for the third straight week. The shutout of FIU and Week 1’s 46-11 rout of Nevada have voters sold on PSU’s elite defense and upside, even with Oregon, Ohio State, and Texas nipping at their heels. We’re debating whether the Lions deserve the top spot, how their résumé stacks up, and what a dominant win over Villanova could do to solidify their ranking before the Big Ten gauntlet begins. Will Gabe Nwosu’s booming 70-yard punt from Week 2 flip the field again? Can Ryan Barker stay perfect on field goals? And which under-the-radar players—like S Antoine Belgrave-Shorter or RB Cam Wallace—might steal the show? We’re breaking down matchups, sharing our score predictions, and discussing how PSU NEEDS to demolish VIllanova. Plus, live listener Q&A, Allar’s ceiling, and whether this team is truly playoff-ready. Tune in now for the full preview—We Eat! Don’t miss our analysis, bold takes, and all things Penn State as we gear up for Villanova and beyond. Ensure you are subscribed! #WeAre #PennStateFootball #nittanylions
