On their weekly Penn State football podcast, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian insider Joel Haas preview this week's pivotal matchup against No. 4 Ohio State. What's the latest on Drew Allar's injury, per coach James Franklin? Is Beau Pribula a viable option to beat the Buckeyes in what would be his first career start? What bar does Allar have to meet healthy wise to have reasonable hopes to play? And how similar is Pribula's game to that of Nittany Lions legend Trace McSorley's?

Our duo tackles those questions and more, including: Was Ohio State QB Will Howard a recruiting miss for Penn State, considering his fiery comments about facing the Lions this week? Do Tyler Warren, Trey Wallace, Liam Clifford, Julian Fleming and others give Penn State its deepest wide receivers room in some time? Are the linebackers ready for the challenge of slowing down Buckeyes starts TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins in the running game? And what does this game mean for the Big Ten championship and College Football Playoff races? Our duo tackles those questions and more.
