It Was Andy Kotelnicki’s Fault?! What Went Wrong For Penn State vs. Oregon  
Podcast: Locked On Nittany Lions - Daily Podcast On Penn State Nittany Lions Football & Basketball
Published On: Mon Sep 29 2025
Description: Was it really Andy Kotelnicki’s playcalling that cost Penn State against Oregon? Or did the offensive line and lack of execution sink the Nittany Lions in the Whiteout? Drew Allar faced 18 pressures on 25 dropbacks, the receivers disappeared, and Oregon’s defensive tackles — Bear Alexander and A'Mauri Washington — dominated inside. Zach Seyko breaks down why Kotelniki isn’t the main culprit, how Drew Allar’s support system is failing him, and why Oregon looks like a legitimate national title contender.Become an every-dayer!
