BWI Daily: Rebuilding a contender; Comparing the 2019 and 2021 Penn State offense
Description
Penn State football has been a .500 team with embattled quarterback Sean Clifford at the helm for the past two seasons. However, many fans are frustrated that Clifford is the presumed starter heading into next Fall. So the host of the BWI Daily Edition, Thomas Frank Carr, is endeavoring to find out how the Nittany Lions can be successful next season by looking to the past. He's examining the 2019 Penn State football team through PFF data to determine what they did to win ten games and threaten a College Football Playoff spot. Today he looks at the rest of the offense around Clifford to see what was different from 2019 to 2021, and then he projects to the future.
T-Frank starts by looking at the Penn State pass protection from both seasons. While the offensive line was bad in 2021, was the 2019 team better? He finds some interesting results and shares them.
Next, he takes a look at the receivers, breaking down the deep threats, chain movers, and YAC players from both seasons. How do second-round picks Pat Freiermuth and KJ Hamler stack up against first-round wideout Jahan Dotson and his teammates? T-Frank found that several things were the same while the situation was different.
Finally, he takes a deep dive into the Penn State running game from both seasons. He examines the offensive line and the runners to see where Penn State fell short in 2021.
