Today’s Penn State football news headlines feature plenty of takeaways and observations from the Blue-White game and a conclusion to what James Franklin called the best spring of quarterback Sean Clifford’s six-year career.
Penn State coach James Franklin has brought up a number of questions his team must answer between now and the start of the spring season, and many of those were on display in Saturday’s Blue-White game, notably punter, offensive line and linebacker, writes Tyler Donohue for Lions247. The Lions flashed depth in many key areas, but must overcome the same old issues, adds Donnie Collins for the Scranton Times-Tribune.
Franklin also offered a lengthy explanation following Saturday’s spring finale about how and why Clifford had the best spring of his career. He said improvements were made across the board and cited analytics that backed up the coaches’ eye test, writes Kevin McGuire for Nittany Lions Wire. Clifford agreed that it was the best spring of his career and the first time he has ever worked with the same offensive coordinator for a second time.
