Nittany Lions through four games, preview of Northwestern
Q4
The Penn State offense has scored 30 points per game, yet the team isn’t completely firing on all cylinders. Where are the areas of improvement for the offense and defense? We’ll discuss that and answer fans’ questions. Have fans caught up to the play of Caedan Wallace? We answer a question about the long-time right tackle.
Finally, we preview the offense for Northwestern and how that side of the ball likes to play. Head coach James Franklin gave an outline in his press conference on Tuesday.
“They’re a no-huddle offense that really — they can run tempo, but they’re more kind of the illusion of tempo so they can see how you line up and then get to the plays they want to run. They base mainly out of 11 personnel. They want to throw the ball. I think that’s where they feel like they have the best chance to be successful.”
“I do think Ben Bryant, their quarterback, is probably the best pure thrower that we’ve seen this year.”
