    A closer look at Penn State great Dan Connor's path back to State College, thoughts on PSU-Oregon in prime time
    Jun 2 2025
    PennLive's Johnny McGonigal and Bob Flounders discuss Dan Connor's journey back to Penn State as a defensive coach.

Plus, Johnny and Bob look at two PSU greats who are deserving of spots in the College Football Hall of Fame — Courtney Brown and Ki-Jana Carter. Learn more about your ad choices.
