The Buckeyes defeated Notre Dame 34-23 in Atlanta to secure the championship in a game that Ohio State dominated after the opening scoring drive from the Fighting Irish. Now that the season has finally ended, we're looking ahead to 2025. What does Penn State need from its roster to get back to the Playoff in next fall? We'll be counting down the top five position battles that need to play out for the upcoming season. We'll also update fans on the defensive coordinator search the Penn State has been operating since Tom Allen took the same job at Clemson a week ago. Fans are antsy to have the answer about who will lead the Nittany Lion's defense this coming year and to know more about what that unit will look like with new leadership. We'll also update you on the latest recruiting news. Join us today at 10 a.m. on YouTube, watch the replay in on the channel, embedded in this article, or listen anywhere you get your podcasts. The National Championship from Penn State's perspective Penn State was only a few plays away from defeating Ohio State in the regular season in Happy Valley last November. After watching Notre Dame have few answers for the Buckeyes on the biggest stage, you can't help but wonder how the Lions would have fared in place of the Irish. We'll start the show discussing last night's game, and what it means for Penn State, the Big Ten and college football. From there, we'll discuss the team's top position battles that will take place in the coming months. The roster is set for winter conditioning and spring practice, so who has a chance to fill a role vacated by exiting starters and veterans? We'll rank the top five most important positions up for grabs this coming spring, summer, and fall. Defensive Coordinator Search Penn State is still without a defensive coordinator as of the airing of Tuesday's show. What is going on with the search for Allen's successor? We'll discuss what our experts know and give fans a better understanding of how these searches go under Penn State head coach James Franklin.
