This offseason, there might not be a bigger topic for Penn State football fans than the offensive line. Yes, quarterback always dominates the discussion, but with sixth-year player Sean Clifford coming back to start another season, his protection is paramount.

Penn State Offensive Line Debate

After a run of offensive line commits over the past two weeks, has Penn State gotten to the point that they will be markedly better in 2022? Host Thomas Frank Carr and reporter Dave Eckert debate that topic on the BWI Daily Edition.

Dave takes the side of optimism on the show and gives his reasoning for Penn State taking a step forward next season up front. He sees the situation improving for several key factors that he lists out in his allotted time.

Next, T-Frank, debating on the side of things not getting better, gives his argument. He points to one recurring issue that Penn State had heading into 2021 that they will have again in 2022. What is it? He details that problem and then explains why despite a surge in new players, not all of the pieces fit this offseason perfectly.

After they wrap up their arguments, Dave and T-Frank have a chance to respond to the other’s presentation with closing thoughts. Then, finally, they wrap up with a general discussion about the offensive line and where some of the issues, positive and negative, might go this year.

What are the factors that led to this week’s loss? How did Greg Lee’s absence affect John Harrah? Eckert gets into those details, while T-Frank asks if there’s a common theme in losing quality leads in games they need to win. Finally, Dave gives his thoughts before they wrap up, looking ahead to the next game.
