This month we previewed the latest intel on Penn State's recruiting efforts heading into signing day one week from today. Penn State remains static in the CFP Penn State got more good news on Tuesday night when the College Football Playoff committee kept the team in their fourth-place spot. While some argued that Notre Dame should leapfrog the Nittany Lions after an impressive victory over Army, the committee disagreed. We'll discuss what that means for the team heading into the last week of the regular season, where there are still faint hopes for the Big Ten title game up for grabs if things play out a certain way. However, with that being an unlikely outcome, we'll discuss the current picture of where the team would land in the playoff, given the current seeding. Is this an ideal scenario for Penn State to make a deep run? Final week of football But with that news still on the horizon, the game at hand matters the most. Penn State faces Maryland this weekend and will try to secure it's first 11-1 season under head coach James Franklin. The team holds practice on Wendesday afternoon and we'll preview the information we'd like to gather during the last open viewing of the team's work for the 2024 regular season. Which players need to be healthy for the stretch run? We'll give our thoughts about what we want to hear from Franklin after practice. Sunday Film Study Finally, we'll review how Penn State handled the loss of Anthony Donkoh in-game by examining the effect that backup right tackle Nolan Rucci had on the game. We'll give an overview of how he performed and discuss the potential scenarios of how the team will replace Alonzo Ford at defensive tackle. #PennState  #NittanyLions  JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationGet the 2024 Penn State Football Preview Magazine at https://bit.ly/PSU24PreviewBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com Download our podcasts: https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/LRL3155877513?selected=DSVV2664982394Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3Sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.comIs Penn State Setting Up For a Playoff Run?

On their weekly Penn State football podcast, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian insider Seth Engle discuss the recruiting loss of Royersford, Pa., QB prospect Matt Zollers -- rated four stars and ranked the No. 1 in the state -- to Missouri. What does the news say about coach James Franklin's ability to retain in-state talent and attract impact players at the most important position? Is this a natural result of the struggles the offense showed last season under fired coordinator Mike Yurcich? And could Zollers be a player Penn State circles back to in the transfer portal later, as it did with Julian Fleming and Nolan Rucci this offseason? Our duo tackles those questions, then reacts to the latest from spring practice. How is Fleming fitting in with his new team and handling the pressure of improving Penn State's production at receiver? What's different about QB Drew Allar's game under new coordinator Andy Kotelnicki? And how is new coordinator Tom Allen looking to deploy his depth at safety on the defensive side with Jaylen Reed, Zakee Wheatley and K.J. Winston?

How will all of that shake out? With the shift to new Penn State offensive coordiantor Andy Kotelnicki, is there a way to mitigate the loss of tackles Olu Fashanu and Caedan Wallace?

Penn State scheme could help mitigate the loss of Olu Fashanu Earlier this week, we discussed the concept of working around the team's new tackle situation with first-time starters Drew Shelton and Anthony Donkoh or Nolan Rucci by leaning into what Kotelnicki did best at Kansas: run the football. Successfully deploying the ground game keeps the team out of obvious passing situations, which was the strength of Fashanu. But what if you didn't need those skills the same way? We've talked about this previously, but true passing situation opportunities can heavily influence the perception of a player's skills. Last year, Fashanu saw 142 of PFF's true passing situation blocks in Penn State's run-first scheme, which equated to 57th among all Power Five tackles. But Kansas had even fewer of those plays. Kansas left tackle Dominic Puni played in as many games as Fashanu and only had to block 86 times in obvious passing situations, which is tied for 122nd. Check out the rest of the article here. Penn State running back depth After discussing the offensive line and depth, we move on to the running back position. Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen are Penn State's offensive focal points. But if the team regularly uses both of them, they will need depth assurances for injury. We look into how Quinton Martin and Cam Wallace will compete for the third and fourth running back jobs behind the starters. Is there a path to the field for the freshman? We discuss Martin's receiving ability and what a role for the 6-1 freshman would look like this season. #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: https://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 Can Penn State scheme around the loss of Olu Fashanu? | O-Line spring outlook Learn more about your ad choices.

But outside the walls of Lasch, the Big Ten is changing around them. Two major names joined Ohio State and Michigan recently, and today, on the BWI Live Show, we're talking about those additions. Chip Kelly left UCLA late into the offseason to be the offensive coordinator at Ohio State, while NFL defensive coordinator Wink Martindale left the pros to join Michigan. How will those changes late in the cycle affect Penn State? We're discussing that, plus former Penn State players Ji'ayire "Tig Brown" and Donovan Smith's play in the Super Bowl. Stay tuned for the end, where we take questions from the BWI Mailbag! If you haven't yet, subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube so you don't miss any live shows or breaking news videos. But as always, you can find the replay here embedded in the article. Penn State offensive tackle succession discussion Former Penn State left tackle Donovan Smith won his second Super Bowl on Sunday with the Kansas City Chiefs. He's had a long career as a starting left tackle in the NFL, but not every Nittany Lions fan celebrates him like they do other successful players from the program. We discuss the lineage of left tackles under head coach James Franklin and how his time in Happy Valley colors the way fans feel about him. That conversation then spins to include Rasheed Walker, who had a similar story arc at Penn State before leaving for the NFL. Both players were ultra-talented but never fully realized their potential before leaving for the pros. Now, Walker is the presumed starting left tackle for the Green Bay Packers. Does Penn State have the depth and talent to push its top players at the position to be their best selves? We discuss that history and how Olu Fashanu, Drew Shelton, Nolan Rucci and Anthony Donkoh fit into the picture. Ohio State and Michigan disruption - Does it change anything? Penn State's place in the Big Ten rankings may be in upheaval this coming year. Where will the team fall in the rankings with the influx of former Pac-12 schools? But it's not just Franklin and the Nittany Lions that experienced attrition this offseason. Ohio State just named a new offensive coordinator, in former UCLA head coach Chip Kelly. Michigan has lost talent on and off the field after Jim Harbaugh took some of the staff to the LA Chargers. So, does any of that change Penn State's chances of finishing at the top of the conference? We discuss that and the team's chances of making the 12-team playoff if they finish fourth. BWI Mailbag As always, the last segment on our show is for you.

Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqK Check out the site too! - https://bit.ly/3u8dilD The Penn State Nittany Lions haven't closed the books on the transfer portal for 2024, but the first chapter is done. Today, we're reviewing the staff's work through the winter portal period and giving out grades for their effort. Join the BWI Live Show at 10 a.m. to discuss the team's portal work based on this article from earlier this week. You can also watch the replay on the BWI Live YouTube Channel, or here on the site. Penn State Winter Portal Class As we saw last year with Penn State's winter portal additions last year, it doesn't guarantee that a player will be a successful addition, but it does give them the chance to be one. Having players on campus for spring football allows the team to integrate pieces into the offense and defense more seamlessly for the upcoming year. It also allows the staff to better understand the competition in each room. That's a significant reason why we're singling out this portal window. The biggest needs on the team are on the offensive side, with tackle and receiver lacking veteran presence at these two key positions. The red letter, exclamation point, need for the Penn State football team has been evident since about the midway point of the 2023 season. The team needs an infusion of veteran dependability outside. While a dominant lead dog would be great, you don't expect that out of the portal unless you're willing to play with the big dogs in college football. Since writing this, veteran receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith has made it clear he intends to be part of the team for the 2024 season. We'll assess how the team's retention and acquisition could play out this year. Offensive tackle departures create massive hole on roster The team lost significant experience and skill with Olu Fashanu and Caedan Wallace departing for the NFL. The team has been grooming Drew Shelton for this moment, but the rest of the roster is still very young. Enter redshirt sophomore tackle Nolan Rucci from Wisconsin. Can he fill the void? Defensive line additions through retention Like the receiver, the team held on to its veteran depth with Hakeem Beamon, Coziah Izzard, and Dvon Ellies all returning for the 2024 season. We'll address the impact of that move on the team's ability to maintain a defensive personality trait. Penn State needs cornerback bodies Not only did the team need to add veteran experience to the room, they needed to add bodies. Just six players were listed as cornerbacks on the initial 2024 spring roster before the addition of A.J. Harris and Jalen Kimber. We'll discuss what each player brings to the team for this upcoming season. #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: https://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 Learn more about your ad choices.

Plus, Audrey & Jon catch up on Nolan Rucci's transfer to the Nittany Lions as well as the news that Nick Saban will be retiring from Alabama and how that impacts the program.

In his weekly YouTube appearance, Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise joins host Adam Bittner to discuss a range of hot Steelers topics.

Is he just looking for leverage in contract negotiations? Is Tomlin babying Kenny Pickett by keeping him at No. 1 on the depth chart despite starting Mason Rudolph in this week's NFL wild card playoff game against the Buffalo Bills? And should Mike Sullivan get consideration for the full-time offensive coordinator job after the unit's late-season success?

Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqK Check out the site too! - https://bit.ly/3u8dilD The Penn State Nittany Lions have been active in the transfer portal for the last week, acquiring several former high-profile recruiting targets from Big Ten foes. On Today's BWI Live Show, we're discussing what both Julian Fleming and Nolan Rucci bring to the table from a skill perspective based on their film. Join the show on YouTube or on replay here on the site. Penn State getting upside with Nolan Rucci The first part of today's show will center around BWI's assessment of Nolan Rucci from his bowl game film against LSU. Here's a portion of that article from earlier this week. It seems Rucci's physical talent hasn't been accentuated by great coaching based on how unnatural it seems. Despite that, he's fast and fluid enough to win. Furthermore, Penn State offensive line coach Phil Trautwein is known as a detail-oriented coach in regards to fundamentals. While we're just skimming the surface of those skills, it seems like Rucci could quickly turn into a plus-pass protector. We'll discuss more of the context around Rucci's play and what sort of player they're getting out of the portal from Wisconsin. The Badgers have gone through several radical changes over the last several seasons, and the stereotypes about Wisconsin linemen are not the same as they used to be. Fleming provides a veteran presence While there's little film on Rucci, Fleming is another story. The former Penn State top receiver target has extensive film and playing time at Ohio State. But what does the tape say about his usage and production with the Buckeyes? We'll discuss his talents, what sort of athlete he is and how he could figure into the Penn State passing attack this upcoming season. With one year of eligibility left, Fleming is trying to make an impact now. Wide receiver discussion continued However, the issues surrounding the wide receiver room aren't over. Penn State fans want to know why the team had so many problems getting production out of its wideouts in 2023. We'll discuss the multiple factors and nuances of the situation that ultimately led to the team declining to target the position for the final three games after offensive coordiantor Mike Yurcich was fired. We'll also discuss how new offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki fits into the equation and how he can potentially fix the problem. Lastly, we examine the hole in the transfer portal roster at cornerback. Penn State is pursuing several players at the position. We'll give you a brief breakdown of A.J. Harris and how he could fit into the room if and when he commits to the program. #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: https://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 Learn more about your ad choices.

Who will be around for winter conditioning and spring football? We got a sense of that answer on Monday, with an updated roster coming from the program. We'll discuss that, transfer portal activity and the national championship game from last night on today's BWI Live Show. Check out the show on the Blue White Illustrated YouTube channel, or the replay on the site. Penn State roster update There was still a lack of clarity about certain players and their intentions for their future with Penn State football. Two of them, defensive tackles Hakeem Beamon and Dvon Ellies made their intentions known last week that they were returning for another year with the program. However, several veterans hadn't made their plans known, including the team's maligned receiver room. Is KeAndre Lambert-Smith coming back for another season? How about transfer Malik McClain who struggled to see the field last season? While some players are assumed to return, it's difficult to make that assumption in today's college football. Senior Editor Nate Bauer had a report last week about who would be back and wrote about what he knew. Today, he and publisher Sean Fitz will discuss that on the show. Portal review The transfer portal window is still technically open but with most of the program's targets in-house we'll review this portal recruiting class too. How did Penn State do with their efforts? Join the show to learn more about Nolan Rucci, Julian Fleming and the rest of the team's additions.
