This Penn State football defense under Tom Allen is going to better than last season's

Locked On Nittany Lions - Daily Podcast On Penn State Nittany Lions Football & Basketball

Penn State’s defense is back and better than ever. With more depth, star power, and elite playmakers across the board, Locked On Nittany Lions host Zach Seyko explains how this group has the potential to surpass last year’s impressive unit. Names like Abdul Carter, Dani Dennis-Sutton, Zane Durant, and KJ Winston—guys who are truly disruptive on the field. And with Tom Allen at the helm, this defense could prove to be even more formidable than the 2023 squad.

But what’s really driving this improvement? Tune in as we break down the key factors behind this year’s defense and how they dominated West Virginia’s offense. Plus, we’ll dive into how Penn State’s offense, with its new-found symmetry, is finally giving the defense the support it needs to shine.

Finally, we’ll highlight the standout performances from Week 1, including big-time plays from Jaylen Reed, Winston, AJ Harris, and Durant. And yes, we’ll talk about Abdul Carter’s adjustment to his new role—he may have had a slow start, but what can you expect from him next?
