We'll recap the game -- and season -- before discussing where Penn State is at in the coaching search. *Note: We recorded this live on Sunday, so this was before the Kalani Sitake stuff became the focus.

The never-ending season is still going on, and this week, Penn State will welcome the No. 2 team in the country -- the Indiana Hoosiers -- to Beaver Stadium. We discuss the upcoming game, plus we'll spend a hearty portion of the show talking about Penn State's search for a new head coach. Could Georgia Tech's Brent Key or Vanderbilt's Clark Lea be options?

For this special edition of the BSD YouTube Show, Patrick was joined by notable PSU Twitter member @_SupCaroline.

Penn State took care of Villanova 52-6, nearly covering the 48.5-point spread. But despite the elite performance from the defense, the offense once again got off to a slow start and looked anemic at times on Saturday. We talk about the starts from Drew Allar and Nick Singleton, the strong play from linebackers Tony Rojas and Amare Campbell, and how we feel about the Nittany Lions coming out of the...

Penn State shutout FIU for a 34-0 win, but if you looked up the definition of a "clunker win", this game would pop up. We recap the game, discussing the up-and-down play of Drew Allar, Nick Singleton's lack of elusiveness, and whether Penn State will drop from *No. 2 in the rankings. *Note, this was right after the PSU game so before LSU and Georgia had unimpressive wins of their own.
