Penn State football suffered another heartbreaking loss, falling 31-23 to USC in the White Out at Beaver Stadium. But Christian Hackenberg and Grant Haley believe there's more to this Penn State team than the final score suggests.

On this episode of The Pocket, the former Penn State standouts deliver their analysis of the Nittany Lions' loss to Lincoln Riley and the USC Trojans, examining what improved, what went wrong, and what must change before Penn State travels to face Michigan.

Hackenberg and Haley discuss Rocco Becht's development, Andrew Rappleyea's impact, Penn State's red-zone struggles, and the defensive pressure problems that allowed USC quarterback Jayden Maiava to make big plays.

They also examine head coach Matt Campbell's process-driven approach, the importance of accountability, and why Penn State's locker room must stay together through adversity.
