The college football world buzzes with speculation as the Hoosiers&#8217; head coach emerges as a top candidate for the Nittany Lions&#8217; vacancy.<\/p>\n<p>Zach Seyko and Jacob Goins, hosts of Locked On Nittany Lions and Locked On Hoosiers respectively, dissect the likelihood of this high-profile move.
