Following last year’s season-ending loss to Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl, Penn State got welcome news. Quarterback Drew Allar announced his return, as did the two-headed running back monster of Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen. The Nittany Lions also boast a staunch offensive line and a wide receiver room Allar called Penn State’s best yet.

Penn State head football coach James Franklin wasn’t thrilled about the fact that the Big Ten Football Media Days were held in Las Vegas and he let the media know about it. Franklin talked about the fact that the conference should have the media days in “Big 10 country” rather than an outpost like Las Vegas.

The Penn State head coach expressed confidence in the defensive tackle group led by Zane Durant and Alonzo Ford. Behind them, he noted it’s a matter of getting consistency from player likes like Xavier Gilliam, Owen Wafle and Ty Blanding.
