Penn State defense blending new with old in Tom Allen's first season

Penn State head coach James Franklin isn't above letting certain details about his team's personality slip during training camp. Is it gamesmanship, with West Virginia less than a month away when he addressed the assembled media group on Aug. 8? Or was it a moment of clarity about the similarities that he expects with the new Penn State defensive coordinator, Tom Allen? We broke down Allen's defense from Indiana last season on the Blue White Illustrated message board and today, we're discussing those findings. We'll start with Franklin's comments from earlier this month to illustrate what we found versus what we might expect to change.
