Penn State football takes on Minnesota in a must-win game on Saturday. Not only would a win prevent a two-game slide, but it would reverse narratives about Penn State head coach James Franklin's ability to deal with big-game losses. Throw on top of that a showdown with former offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca during the White Out and you have all the makings of a high-pressure game. The BWI Daily Edition will break all of that down on the official game preview show. Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube, so you don't miss the show! https://bit.ly/3KzEcqK
Host Nate Bauer and Blue White Illustrated publisher Sean Fitz start the show by discussing the things they saw at Penn State's open practice on Wednesday. Firstly, they share an update on what they saw from quarterback Sean Clifford. The sixth-year senior exited last week's game with an injury and didn't return to the field. Bauer and Fitz give fans their opinions on what Clifford's actions at practice mean. Bauer also discusses what he thinks Franklin meant earlier in the week by saying that Clifford had "earned the right" to start.
From there, they discuss other players with known injuries and how they were at practice, including guard Landon Tengwall. However, one notable absent at practice wasn't injured last week. Next, hear what the duo says about running back Keyvone Lee.
They also discuss Penn State's matchup with Minnesota. Do the Nittany Lions stand a better chance of scoring points against the Gophers? More importantly, can they stop Minnesota's heavy-handed rushing attack?
They'll examine the critical matchups in the game and finish with a game prediction to close the show.
