Author: Hardcore Penn State Football November 6, 2025 Duration: 50:49
In this must-listen episode of Hardcore Penn State Football, we bring the heat with special guest Landon Tengwall, the former Nittany Lions offensive lineman turned analyst and host of The Landon Tengwall Show, joining us for insider breakdowns and unfiltered takes on the program! We kick off with an exclusive interview with Landon—understanding what's going on with the current Penn State Football team. What improvements they can make at this point in the season? Can they get to a bowl game?   We then talk about the Penn State Coaching Search and who Landon would like to see get the Penn State Head Coaching Job. Then, a raw dissection of what went wrong in the 38-14 thrashing by Ohio State and throughout this disappointing 3-5 campaign so far—turnovers, defensive lapses, coaching decisions, and how the Lions can salvage the year.   Shifting to the future, our detailed preview of the upcoming clash against Indiana on November 8th at Beaver Stadium: Breaking down the #,2 Indiana Hoosiers, their high-powered offense, key matchups like containing their explosive WRS, and how Penn State's defense can step up at home. Next, our bold predictions for Penn State vs. Indiana—will the Nittany Lions snap their skid and get back to .500, or will IU keep rolling in the Big Ten? We cover scores, X-factors, and upset potential.   Join Cory Lestochi and guest Landon Tengwall for candid convos, expert insights, and no-BS analysis.
