Having two quality options at one position is the name of the game for Penn State. Bauer tackles Franklin’s dual-position from Sunday of optimism around the team’s depth, without overhyping the team’s National Championship hopes. He digs into the nuances between those two positions and provides insight into how the team feels through the first week of camp.
Meanwhile, T-Frank spoke with Penn State defenders on Sunday to get their thoughts about how that depth plays out in real life. While most fans and media focus on the starting positions, T-Frank asked about the team’s third-down defense. He discussed how players view the specialty package and how those players view it.
