Penn State football has fractured on offense and defense, surprisingly so, during its epic five-game losing streak.

So what exactly has happened, on and off the field, to ruin the Nittany Lions‘ high-profile season?

And where do the Lions go now, especially with the uncertainty of a new head coach, as they prepare to face the No. 2 Indiana Hoosiers?

We turn to Penn State national championship linebacker and State College resident Trey Bauer to help us sort out the issues.

Check out Bauer’s take on the Lions − and the biggest thing they’re missing − as he riffs with York Daily Record beat reporter Frank Bodani, longtime PSU writer Mike Gross and former TV anchor Andrew Kalista.

Our discussion ranges from player responsibility, to athletic director Pat Kraft’s coaching search to what lies ahead for the program.

We’ll give our takes on Penn State’s chances against the undefeated Hoosiers — what it will take to break that losing streak.

And how difficult it is to track down a legend like Bauer in the Beaver Stadium lots before a big game.
