Iowa defense with a lot of atypical poor tackling to open this game with Washington.

Another 2 time zone jump game.

Blocked FG. 0-0. Washington still doesn't have a kicker.

Bama up 7-0 on USCe.

Penn State football is getting ready for the Wisconsin Badgers and another consecutive road trip following the bye week. Below are takeaways from the latest open practice for media members.



QUARTERBACKS

All quarterbacks were in attendance. Drew Allar looked like his usual self. The arm talent is too difficult to not notice week in and week out.

RUNNING BACKS

True freshman Quinton Martin seemed to be a no-show at practice this afternoon. Martin is close to burning his redshirt. He currently has the “yellow light” status, meaning that Penn State is prepared to forgo his added year of eligibility only if necessary. Martin’s reason for not attending practice is unknown.

Juniors Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen were present. So was fellow true freshman Corey Smith. In the past, head coach James Franklin has offered a bode of confidence to Smith if they needed him to go in a game.

WIDE RECEIVERS


Kaden Saunders was absent from practice. When I saw Saunders last in Beaver Stadium during the UCLA game, he was in a walking boot. Penn State has been able to shoulder the loss of Saunders, but they could definitely use him at punt returner and in the slot receiver rotation sooner rather than later.

True freshman Tyseer Denmark displayed some serious hops in one catching drill.

Transfer and veteran leader Julian Fleming sets the intensity. Every rep, route, or reception is always at game speed when it is his turn.

DEFENSIVE ENDS

True freshman Max Granville showed his potential. Granville flashed a quick first step and aggressive handwork when going through strip sack drills.

LINEBACKERS

Safety turned linebacker DaKaari Nelson continues to impress. Nelson has received high praise from Franklin. Plus, you can see those words are warranted when Nelson takes reps on the practice field.

On3 has some predictions coming in for PSU.

He is also now a 5* on 247

We should. But they'll probably have Georgia jump us. Doesn't matter that much right now.

What makes a play reviewable and another not?
An NCAA random number generator? When a non reviewable call that is botched influences the outcome of a game, does it piss you off? Does it give more opportunity for corruption to exist when calling a game?

And now:
Lenny Pinto &
Silas Allred
All dropping down a weight.

It sort of feels the way college football should feel to me. I hope they can remain undefeated until they play their rivalry game in December.

I know he's been on flip watch, is it close? A flip change over on rpm.

Is it simply looking with blue and white goggles to think so?

What does the all-knowing board say?

Anyone watch their games?

Real nasty leg injury in garbage time. Hope its not career ending.

This is him walking with just a slight limp on Sept. 21st. So we know it's not an ACL, achilles, or a broken leg or something where it's clearly season ending.

It just would be kind of surprising to me that a player with such a slight limp would be season ending. Any word on the injury/update?

We fans have to start pushing back on this in-order to get it changed back to the way it should be! Start letting corrupt, greedy FOX have it on X!

Make it abundantly clear to Fox that were just not gonna tolerate it on a permanent basis any longer!

The importance of having a lockdown corner like AJ Harris, & seemingly, hopefully Brandon Finney is that a lockdown corner has the ability to neutralize a team’s number 1 receiver. When that’s the case it makes life much so much easier for the rest of the defense to feast on the quarterback, & ultimately create turnovers as a result.
