Description: Penn State is targeting three ACC coaches — Jeff Brohm, Brent Key, and Mike Elko — with one clear favorite emerging. Zach Seyko (Locked On Nittany Lions) joins Alex Donno and Kenton Gibbs (Locked On ACC) to break down the top ACC coaching candidates for Penn State, why Brohm’s big-game resume makes him the front-runner, and why Elko’s Texas A&M success makes him a long shot. The trio also discuss James Franklin’s Virginia Tech rumors, whether he’s using the Hokies as leverage, and how Penn State’s job stacks up against LSU, Florida, and Auburn.Become an every-dayer!
