Penn State football is seven practices through its spring football calendar, which means we’re at the halfway point of the camp schedule. On today’s show, we’ll recap open practice from Tuesday night, discuss what we heard from head coach James Franklin, and discuss the meaningful milestones of storylines for the spring.

Penn State practice recap

The team was once again inside Holuba Hall for practice on Tuesday night. We’ll recap what we saw up close and personal on the north sidelines of the building and what aspects of practice stood out in the third week of camp.

We’ll highlight the running backs, wide receivers and the way practice changed from the previous two open practices that the media saw to begin the season.

Three thoughts from Penn State spring camp’s halfway point

Of course, none of this happens in a vacuum and we have now seen enough of camp to draw some conclusions from the events. Greg Pickel joins the show to give his three thoughts at the halfway point of spring practice. What are the most interesting observations that have been evident for all three open practices? We’ll each count down the top three things we’ve noticed.

Those observations are based partly on what Penn State head coach James Franklin tells reporters after each practice. We’ll recap his latest press conference on Between the Lines. This week, we’ll review his comments about the running back position, the defensive tackle battle and the backup quarterback battle in spring camp. Can running backs coach Stan Drayton elevate Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen from great to elite? Franklin discussed what each needs to accomplish this offseason to reach that status.
