Penn State’s Backfield is About to BREAK College Football

Penn State football might already have the best backfield in the nation — but running backs Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen are primed to take an even bigger leap in 2025. Zach Seyko breaks down Stan Drayton’s telling comments about how the duo’s game has evolved and why Penn State plans to use them in creative, record-breaking ways.Plus, James Franklin makes a surprising position change on the defensive line — moving former five-star Anai White from defensive end to defensive tackle. What does this mean for the DE and DT depth charts?Finally, the AP Top 25 poll drops, and Penn State lands at No. 2 in the country. We discuss what that ranking really means, the pressure that comes with it, and why this might be the Nittany Lions’ best shot at a national championship in years.Become an every-dayer!
