Ditto for the offensive line, as it wasn’t a day to remember for basically anyone. Obviously, no team is running the all-gas version of their offense in the spring game, but Penn State’s in particular is going to look much different come September.ħ. No Theo Johnson or Tyler Warren meant less 12 personnel, which was and will continue to be a big part of what Mike Yurcich does. Also, I’m not going to read too much into Allar’s performance when it felt like we were getting an extremely basic, watered-down version of the offense. There are still steps to be taken, but as we saw last year, Drew can seemingly take those strides at a rapid pace.Ħ. He showcased the strong arm, showcased his movement in the pocket, and showcased his ability to go through progressions. But I thought he settled in as the game went along. There were one too many throws that were behind the intended target. Sure, he didn’t come out and light up the defense for three touchdowns on beautiful efficiency. Here’s my take on Drew Allar - it was fine. Did not need a Kaytron Allen hurdle attempt in the spring game. The idea of Allen with 20 more pounds is *chef’s kiss*.Ĥ. Much thicker and much more in line with his nickname “Fatman.” He was listed at 201 pounds last season, and Penn State’s roster now has him at 218. The running game never really gets going in the Blue-White game, but I have to say Kaytron Allen looked much bigger compared to last season. That is a major positive from this spring.ģ. There were no season-ending injuries during the spring nor the game itself, and as Franklin said after the game, every player on the roster is expected to be ready for the fall. But the actual most important takeaway from it: everyone is mostly healthy. People will try to take more from the Blue-White Game then they should, and that’s fine, we’re going to do that here too. (This just a classic joke that always kill, everyone please feel free to use it moving forward)Ģ. But hey, you know what they say about State College’s weather? If you don’t like it, just wait 15 minutes! If Saturday would have been another 70+ degrees and sunny day, I think legitimately breaking 80,000 might have been possible. Thursday and Friday were absolutely beautiful, summer-like days. Honestly, pretty bad luck that the worst of the weather seem to come right around and during game time. After a couple days and a rewatch of the game, these were some random thoughts I had.ġ. Spring practice has officially wrapped up in Happy Valley, as Penn State concluded its spring with the annual Blue-White game.
