Penn State practice observations
We’ll start right off the top of the show by discussing what we saw in the extended view of practice on Tuesday evening. The team went through positional drills, running games, passing games, and teamwork during the roughly 30 minutes of open viewing. Pickel spent time with both the offense and defense and will give his thoughts about the team’s progress.

We’ll also dive into the competitive one-on-one periods we saw during camp. Penn State did three separate drills during the open window, including one-on-one passing drills for defensive backs and receivers, blocking drills for those same groups, and running game drills between the offensive and defensive fronts. We’ll describe who stood out and who made plays during the nearly live action drills.
Between the Lines
We’ll also have an extended session of Between The Lines, our press conference recap feature where we fill in the gaps of what coaches are saying during media interviews. This week we’ll feature both head coach James Franklin and wide receiver’s coach Marques Hagans. It was a remarkably frank conversation with Hagans, who did not hold back on what he wants from his receivers in 2025.
We’ll also be taking your questions live during the show! Want to ask our experts about what we’ve seen or what we’re thinking after two open periods? Join the show live and drop your thoughts into the live chat!
