Would Benching Carson Hansen Fix Penn State's Run Game?

Penn State's rushing attack remains one of the biggest questions surrounding the Nittany Lions through two games—but is benching Carson Hansen for Quinton Martin really the answer?

Pat Koerbler of Black Shoe Diaries (https://x.com/Poerbler) joins Zach Seyko to break down Penn State's running back rotation, Martin's lack of offensive snaps against Temple, Hansen's workload and the bigger schematic issue facing Taylor Mouser's offense. Could Penn State's emerging wide receiver depth and more three- or four-receiver formations actually help create a more explosive ground game?

Plus, we discuss Koby Howard, Chase Sowell, Zay Robinson, Penn State's heavy tight end packages and the latest injury news, including the expected returns of Armstrong Nnodim and Alijah Carnell.

What would you change about Penn State's running back rotation?
