Author: Hardcore Penn State Football November 26, 2025 Duration: 1:15:41
In this electrifying episode of Hardcore Penn State Football, we celebrate a resilient Senior Day triumph as the Nittany Lions claw back with a 27-20 victory over Nebraska on November 22nd at Beaver Stadium—boosting Penn State to 5-6 and keeping faint bowl hopes alive in a season of upheaval! We start with a full recap of the gritty win: Ethan Grunkemeyer's poised performance stepping in at QB, going an efficient 11/12 for 181 yards and a touchdown, the defense's crucial 4th down stops, and how the ground game powered through. Then, we spotlight the historic milestones: RB Kaytron Allen shattering the all-time career rushing yards record with a 160-yard outburst, surpassing Evan Royster's mark in emotional fashion. Plus, RB Nick Singleton's two-score day tying Saquon Barkley's legendary all-time touchdowns record—could he break it in the finale? Finally, the big debate: With James Franklin now at Virginia Tech, should interim head coach Terry Smith—a PSU lifer with recruiting chops and defensive expertise—get the full-time gig? We weigh his steady hand in this turnaround win against other candidates like Lincoln Riley, Bob Chesney, Kalen DeBoer, and Brent Key, plus fan polls and insider buzz. Join hosts Shawn Kane & Cory Lestochi for triumphant vibes, milestone breakdowns, and heated coaching discussions.
