Doug Lesmerises, the creator of the Kings of the North college football podcast, joins Bob Flounders to discuss what new Penn State DC Jim Knowles brings to the table.

Former Ohio State defensive coordinator said in an address to Penn State players that the Nittany Lions were 'everything' to him growing up
