Penn State practice update
Both Bauer and Fitz were at Penn State's practice availability last night and took notes on the offense and defense. You can get their full insights from their Wednesday articles, but they'll also share thoughts on today's show.
Maryland Preview
There could not be two more directly opposed quarterbacks from a mindset standpoint. The firely and aggressive Taulia Tagovailoa has given Maryland a fighting chance each of the last three seasons he's been under center. New Penn State quarterback Drew Allar is a cool and methodical player who doesn't risk the football.
For this weekend's matchup, Franklin knows that Tagovailoa can challenge his defense in multiple ways.
"Yeah, really good player," Franklin said. "Obviously, statistically, he's number one in every category at the University of Maryland. They've had some good quarterbacks, all the way back to Boomer Esiason, and Frank Reich, and a ton of guys that have played there. Obviously, the thing that makes him challenging is his, not only decision-making as a passer and the weapons they have around him, but then also his athleticism and his quickness and his ability to improvise. Those are the things that become most challenging. But, whenever you got a guy that's played as much football as he has, that's why I think there was so much confidence with [Mike Locksley] and those guys coming into the season, and why they're confident now, because they got a veteran, experienced, proven quarterback," Franklin said.
We'll preview how the two teams match up and the major storylines that go into this game. It's a big recruiting weekend for both teams, with Penn State dominating the Maryland region in recruiting under Franklin.
