Episode Details

Penn State football enters the summer with a reasonably strong indication of where the roster stands after a good month and a half of practice during the spring. Now, the staff will sit down and review what they learned about the team over that timeframe to build the offense around its best players. We also learned this spring that the staff routinely ranks the best players on the offensive side of the ball to remind the group of who they should be building around. 

Today, we’ll do the same thing. We’re ranking the five best Penn State offensive players, regardless of position. We’ll also discuss some of the contentious positions on the roster where there’s a disconnect between the internal and external perception of reality. Finally, we’ll take your questions on the BWI Mailbag!
