Did Penn State's 'moral victory' response to Indiana loss reveal James Franklin culture problem?

On their weekly Penn State football podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Nittany Lions insider Isaiah Maldonado react to the loss against Indiana and look ahead to s matchup with Michigan State this week. Did coach Terry Smith and QB Ethan Grunkemeyer reveal the problem with former coach James Franklin's program culture in declaring a moral victory against the Hoosiers? And calling out critics of the team's effort level in defeat? Should a team with Penn State's talent level not be expected to beat --- or at least compete closely -- with a roster like Indiana's? Even when the Hoosiers are ranked No. 2 in the country? And where will coach Curt Cignetti, QB Fernando Mendoza and Indiana go from here? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Can Kaytron Allen, Dani Dennis-Sutton, Nick Singleton and Penn State's other standouts still lift this team to a bowl game appearance? And does Texas A&M coach Mike Elko become a more viable candidate for Penn State by the week, as his team keeps winning without Elko receiving a contract extension?
