This week in Penn State talk

The shows spent the week on Penn State's recruiting struggles and an upcoming Purdue matchup. A quarterback flipped his commitment from Penn State to Boston College, and the hosts called it a significant recruiting win for the other program. Looking at the game itself, the talk centered on Koby Howard's return to practice and how important he's been to Penn State's Big Ten performance.
