Penn State Basketball: Can Penn State go on run to end season?
This week, Penn State basketball took a step forward with two key wins in the Big Ten. First, they secured an upset victory over Michigan State on Tuesday night. Next, trounced Minnesota in a COVID-19 rescheduled game 67-46 yesterday afternoon to start a potential winning streak. Basketball reporter Dave Eckert joins the BWI Daily Edition to discuss that and a look ahead to a critical part of the Nittany Lions' schedule. First, he and host Thomas Frank Carr have a fun discussion about the 2022 NFL Draft. Penn State's lone player that seems to be a projected first-round draft pick is wide receiver, Jahan Dotson. However, most mock draft sites see him as a late Day One pick. So T-Frank and Eckert go through the final seven teams in the draft to find the best fit for the former Nittany Lion. The list includes: 25) Buffalo Bills 26) Tennessee Titans 27) Tampa Bay Buccaneers 28) Green Bay Packers 29) Miami Dolphins (via SF) 30) Kansas City Chiefs 31) Cincinnati Bengals 32) Detriot Lions (via LAR) Which team has the right blend of talent, scheme fit, and need? T-Frank and Eckert discuss. After that, they dive into Penn State Basketball's demolition of Minnesota on Thursday afternoon. What led to such a dominant performance? How did Penn State finally put a complete game together? T-Frank asks Eckert those questions and more about Penn State's back-to-back wins. Eckert also points out a pivotal bonus to the Lion's lopsided win over Minnesota that can serve them well late in the season. Additionally, he asks for updates on several key players and their performance in the most recent victories. What is the status of Greg Lee? They wrap up the show discussing when Penn State needs to enter the conversation for postseason play under first-year head coach Micah Shrewsberry. #PennState #NittanyLions JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters: http://bluewhiteonline.com Download our podcasts: https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/LRL3155877513?selected=DSVV2664982394 Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.com
Penn State Football: Mailbag with Nate Bauer
Penn State football is in the middle of winter conditioning, hard at work to shape the football team's future for next fall. So who is emerging out of the crowd? Who isn't mentioned by assistant coaches each week? Senior Editor for Nate Bauer and host of the BWI Daily Edition, Thomas Frank Carr, discuss that topic and more. It's a mailbag episode of the Daily where they take your questions and answer them on the show. If you ever want to get a question on the show, follow @thomasfrankcarr on Twitter, become a member of Blue White Illustrated, and ask a question on the Lions Den message forum. They start the show with a quick recap of Penn State basketball's big win over Michigan State on Tuesday night. It resulted from several weeks of frustratingly close losses for the Nittany Lions under coach Micah Shrewsberry. Bauer details how the game went down and what it means for the team going forward. Next, they get into the questions asked by fans. They start with a question regarding one of T-Frank's articles this week where he spoke to former Penn State lineman Eric Wilson. Was the offensive line overthinking their assignements due to critical evaluation by offensive line coach Phil Trautwein? First, T-Frank explains what he heard from Wilson during his conversation with the NFL hopeful on the Paydirt Podcast with Tom Hannifan. Then, Nate gives his thoughts on the situation and looks at the problem differently. From there, they spend a good deal of time discussing which Penn State players are making noise in the assistant coaches' weekly tweets from winter workouts. Each Tuesday and Thursday, position coaches will single out the most competitive or outstanding player from their group to highlight on social media. How much should you read into this? Which players are getting mentioned? T-Frank and Bauer have a fun discussion about this topic from multiple angles. They follow that up with questions about spring football, Sean Clifford, and even Penn State basketball recruiting.

Penn State Football: Will the offensive line be better or worse in 2022?
This offseason, there might not be a bigger topic for Penn State football fans than the offensive line. Yes, quarterback always dominates the discussion but with sixth-year player Sean Clifford coming back to start another season, his protection is paramount. After a run of offensive line commits over the past two weeks, has Penn State gotten to the point that they will be markedly better in 2022? Host Thomas Frank Carr and reporter Dave Eckert debate that topic on the BWI Daily Edition. Dave takes the side of optimism on the show and gives his reasoning for Penn State taking a step forward next season up front. He sees the situation improving for several key factors that he lists out in his allotted time. Next, T-Frank, debating on the side of things not getting better, gives his argument. He points to one recurring issue that Penn State had heading into 2021 that they will have again in 2022. What is it? He details that problem and then explains why despite a surge in new players, not all of the pieces fit this offseason perfectly. After they wrap up their arguments, Dave and T-Frank have a chance to respond to the other's presentation with closing thoughts. Then, finally, they wrap up with a general discussion about the offensive line and where some of the issues, positive and negative, might go this year. From there, they discuss Penn State basketball's low-scoring loss to Michigan at the Bryce Jordan Center on Tuesday night. Dave explains how once again, the Nittany Lions put together a great effort but failed to come away with enough offense to win the game. What are the factors that led to this week's loss? How did Greg Lee's absence affect John Harrah? Eckert gets into those details, while T-Frank asks if there's a common theme in losing quality leads in games they need to win. Finally, Dave gives his thoughts before they wrap up, looking ahead to the next game. #PennState #NittanyLions JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters: http://bluewhiteonline.com Download our podcasts: https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/LRL3155877513?selected=DSVV2664982394 Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.com

#PennState #NittanyLions head coach Micah Shrewsberry spoke to the media Monday night following his program's remarkable win over Iowa at the Bryce Jordan Center.

Penn State Football: Noah Cain, TE Breakdown and Wrestling with Greg Pickel
The expectation this offseason was that Penn State football would lose players in the transfer portal. That has become the norm in college football since its inception several years ago. While players come and go, the names of those players can still draw attention. Former starting running back Noah Cain announced his decision to leave Penn State on Wednesday evening in a surprise move. Host of the BWI Daily Edition discusses the action with his guests on the show, Nate Bauer and Greg Pickel. While the move is surprising to some degree, it is not a devastating one for Penn State. Bauer joins the show first to view Cain's career at Penn State and how injury frustrations left him looking for a new home. Next, they have a lengthy discussion about the tight end production at Penn State in 2021. This past season, the trio of pass-catchers had lofty expectations after James Franklin effused praise for the group. While it's clear they didn't live up to that standard as a group, did they make progress this past season? Were there any signs of life? T-Frank dives into the numbers and breaks things out several ways to inspect the results. First, he looks at a rather decisive shift halfway through the season and then gives context to that information. Then, Bauer follows up with his group observations, including a critical moment in the season that might have caused that shift. After that, T-Frank inspects the run blocking of each player. Once again, Franklin's comments early in the season shaped a perception about the trio that T-Frank doesn't believe is accurate. Next, he shows a decisive change in tight end Brenton Strange and progression from Tyler Warren. After that, Bauer provides more context from Franklin's comments to support that. Next, T-Frank speaks to reporter Greg Pickel about Noah Cain's departure from the program. He gets Pickel's perspective on Cain's career and what he thinks is in store for the future of the former four-star commit in 2019. Then they dive into Penn State wrestling's mid-season transfer moves. Penn State recently picked up a key pair of additions, and Pickel discusses how those additions will impact the lineup. He also gives a brief education to unfamiliar listeners about how the staff chooses wrestlers and how those athletes compete for a spot in the lineup. Finally, he wraps up the show by explaining Penn State's challenges fielding a healthy roster and what to expect this weekend when they host Rutgers. #PennState #NittanyLions JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters: http://bluewhiteonline.com Download our podcasts: https://bluewhiteillustrated.podbean.com/ Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3
