Penn State football faces Utah in the 2023 Rose Bowl on Monday. To get you ready for the game, film analyst Thomas Frank Carr is sitting down for an hour to discuss the game and answer your questions about the Utah Utes. Subscribe to the BWI Daily Edition on YouTube, so you never miss a live show!

Penn State finished the regular season 10-2 and faces a 10-3 Utah team that won the Pac-12 championship for the second straight season. So which team will have the advantage on Monday afternoon in Pasadena? T-Frank will discuss what he’s seen from Utah.

Penn State offense vs the Utah defense

First, he’ll discuss what he’s seen from the Utah defense, which is the bedrock of the team’s personality. Next, he will break down the strengths and weaknesses of the team, going position by position with a focus on the standout players. Next, he’ll assess how Penn State matches up against this group and what tactics can work against the group. How does the offensive line potentially getting Olu Fashanu and Caedan Wallace change things? What about the absence of Parker Washington? T-Frank will name players that need to step up for the Blue and White to win the game.

Next, he’ll discuss what he’s seen from the offense. Penn State fans still bear the scar of the Nittany Lions’ loss to Michigan in October and are wary of teams that have a run-first identity and a physical offensive line. Will Penn State get run over again? T-Frank will give his thoughts about that group and then examine the matchups that stand out when Penn State has the football. He’ll explain how Abdul Carter can change things for Penn State and how much growth the defense has experience in the months since then.
