![]() ![]() ![]() His head coach called it a “learning experience” so far through seven practices. Shelton, then, is learning the right side after figuring out the left a year ago. Wallace said that means being more consistent. The former needs to take the next step, Franklin said. Veteran Caedan Wallace and second-year Nittany Lion Drew Shelton are locked in a tussle for the right tackle job. The second is how many game-ready tackles the Lions will exit spring practice with. The first is who his right tackle will be. But, there are still two key questions to answer for offensive line coach Phil Trautwein. He will man the left side of the Lions’ line. Penn State has one of the top tackles in all of college football in Olu Fashanu. We’ll stick with the offense for one more storyline. What will the depth chart look like at the tackle spots? But, we’re left waiting to see if any of them will take advantage of it. Each will have every opportunity to impress position coach Marques Hagans, coordinator Mike Yurcich, and Franklin enough to claim a top spot in the rotation entering preseason camp. The list of players vying to do so includes but is not limited to Liam Clifford, Malik McClain, Kaden Saunders, Cristian Driver, Omari Evans, and Malick Meiga. That leaves us with a simple thing to watch over the next two weeks and change: Will anyone join them in that regard? He’s on the record with the fact that KeAndre Lambert-Smith and Harrison “Tre” Wallace have separated themselves from the pack. Will a third receiver (or more) separate from the pack?įranklin has said for the last month that he feels spring would and will be important for starting to find the pecking order at receiver. 4.What do we want to see? Let’s dive into our top four storylines to monitor moving forward below. I know that sounds strange, but it's been bizarre.”įranklin and the Nittany Lions won’t have to wait much longer to have that feeling come rushing back, particularly given the location of the season’s first game at Wisconsin on the afternoon of Sept. I missed people screaming and yelling and cussing us out and mooning the buses as we drove by. "You’d pull up at Rutgers and nobody's giving you the finger and mooning you, and I mean that from a place of love. I take my lap before every game, home and away, and literally to pull up to the Big House and there's not a car in the parking lot, and there's nobody in the stands, except for cardboard cutouts… it’s crickets in there," Franklin said. In fact, Penn State head coach James Franklin went so far as to lament the loss of even the most virulently anti-Nittany Lion sentiment the team would typically encounter on the road last season. With a Big Ten-only schedule, and a conference-wide mandate to allow only family of players and coaches into stadiums last season, Penn State’s achievements and shortfalls all were done in relative isolation. Not only was Penn State football disappointed with its results in 2020, falling to an 0-5 start - the worst in the program’s history - before rebounding to finish 4-5, the first losing record since 2004, but nearly all of it was done in front of empty stadiums. That is, of course, for a variety of reasons. With the start of Penn State’s 2021 season now just weeks away, the Nittany Lions football program is gearing up for one of its most anticipated campaigns in years.
