Penn State vs. Northwestern
Penn State head coach James Franklin made no secret that he thinks the lack of big energy is an advantage for Northwestern at home.
These guys are 2-0 win at home. You look at Northwestern, they've typically had good home records. Why? Because it can be challenging to play there. They're used to the environment. Other people may not be. It's going to be very different than what we played in last week. So just being transparent and honest. A we internally motivated? Or are we externally motivated?
Big plays on the way?
Franklin hasn't shied away from the conversation around explosive plays. It's a goal of his offense and program-building philosophy. So, what's the right level of emphasis to place on big-time offensive gains? We'll discuss that and break down how likely the team is to generate those splash plays this week. Is it more likely to get big run plays or pass plays?
Defensive improvement leads to shut out
The Penn State front seven improved their gap integrity over the first month of the season, culminating in a shutout of Iowa during the 2023 White Out. How hard is it to be gap sound in Manny Diaz's defense? We'll ask Hawkins what he's seen on film from the Nittany Lions and how they're working to get better each week.
Can we expect another shutout this week? We'll discuss that in our predictions segment.
