Penn State football is still working through its 2027 quarterback recruiting board, and Peter Bourque remains one of the biggest names to watch. But with Auburn and Ohio State now involved, the Nittany Lions may have a real decision to make as Bourque’s recruitment continues to gain national attention. On this Locked On crossover, Zach Seyko and Zac Blackerby break down Penn State’s pursuit of Peter Bourque, Auburn’s push at quarterback, Ohio State’s possible involvement, Will Wood’s rise as a legitimate Penn State QB option, and how NIL, early playing time, and quarterback depth could shape the 2027 recruiting cycle. This matters because Penn State cannot afford to miss on multiple quarterback targets while the rest of the 2027 QB market starts to settle. If Bourque wants to extend the process, Penn State may need to decide how aggressively it wants to pursue Will Wood before another program gets involved. Penn State fans: would you keep pushing for Peter Bourque, or would you move quickly on Will Wood? Become an every-dayer!

The Drive reacts to the Colorado Avalanche busting out the brooms and sweeping the LA Kings in dominant fashion. The stars finally took over — Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar both scored, the Avs dictated the pace early, and Colorado forced LA to play their style from the opening puck drop. The Kings played strong defense, but the Avs matched it with what Zach called “championship‑level defense.” Colorado trailed for only three minutes the entire series — a staggering level of dominance that sends a message to the rest of the NHL. Scott Wedgewood delivered again, proving why he deserves to be the starting goalie moving forward. Now the Avs get a long break before facing either the Minnesota Wild or Dallas Stars. Can Colorado use this momentum to fuel a Stanley Cup run Or does it already feel like the Avs are on a collision course with destiny The guys break down what this sweep means, who the Avs might face next, and which players will shape Round 2. In this episode, the guys break down: What the Avs’ sweep revealed about their Cup potential Why Colorado’s defense looked championship‑caliber How the Avs forced LA to play their style from the jump How the long break impacts Colorado heading into Round 2 Who the Avs might face — Wild or Stars Which players could make the biggest impact next round Avs fans — jump in the comments: Did this sweep prove the Avs are Cup favorites Who do you want in Round 2 — Minnesota or Dallas And who’s been the biggest difference‑maker so far
