On their weekly Penn State football podcast, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Nittany Lions insider Joel Haas ponder the outlook for coordinator Tom Allen's defense after it was torched in the first half against Bowling Green this past week at Beaver Stadium. Was this just a bad, one-off effort physically? Or could it be a sign of more struggles to come? They also weigh in on some questions on offense. Is Omari Evans emerging as the No. 2 wide receiver behind Trey Wallace? Where has Julian Fleming gone in this offense? Can Tyler Warren exceed the production of recent Penn State greats including Mike Gesicki and Pat Freiermuth at tight end? And what should we make of Drew Allar throwing his first interception months earlier than he did a year ago?
