Overheard is back, my friends. We decided to kick off this year's installment of the series with something new and unheard of: listening to sober people. You're skeptical, I know, but I promise you won't be disappointed.

A disappointing defensive performance was the downfall for the Nittany Lions on Saturday evening at Beaver Stadium as they lost to Central Florida 34-31 in a heartbreaker.

Instead of staying undefeated, Penn State lost a winnable game to go to 2-1.
