Penn State closed training camp on Tuesday afternoon with their final practice before the flip to Week One preparation for West Virginia.

Reporter Greg Pickel was at practice on Tuesday night and got a view of both the offense and defense during the ten-minute window the media gets each week. We'll discuss his observations and what we thought was interesting during the final camp practice.

James Franklin and the coordinators discuss camp

Afterward, Franklin and his top Penn State assistants spoke to the media to discuss the team's progress. We'll provide you with the most interesting quotes and notable comments from Franklin, offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki, special teams coordinator Justin Lustig, and defensive coordinator Tom Allen.

Topics for today's Between the Lines segment include Drew Allar's ability to process information, the battle for the third running back, position switches and offensive line combinations, and more.

Pickel will discuss the kicker situation that Lustig outlined for the regular season and how the new rules change Penn State's red light and green light system for determining redshirt status for freshmen.

Sunday Film Study

This past weekend, we broke down the Indiana defense and their work against Wisconsin in a 20-14 win in November of last season. Penn State will face the new-look Wisconsin Badgers this fall so it's a relevant matchup for fans to know and understand. As a bonus, we'll hear from Allen about his defense, what he believes in, and his potential shift to playing more aggressive coverages at Penn State under Franklin.

After an event like Penn State Media Day there's an overwhelming amount of quotes, insight and answers to process after a day-long interview process with the football team. There's no way that we could get to all of the most interesting quotes and thoughts from Saturday in just one show. So on today's BWI Live Show, we're taking a second dip into those conversations. Greg Pickel joins the show to give his perspective on the players and comments he found most interesting from his day on campus.

We'll also highlight the most interesting takeaways from BTN's training camp tour of Penn State, which aired Tuesday night. Pickel will discuss the points that fans need to know from the show and how many of them overlap with what we've been discussing at Blue White Illustrated.

Join the BWI Live Show at 10 a.m. on YouTube or catch the replay in this article. For the most comprehensive coverage you can find, join Blue White Illustrated and get access to premium content, insight and analysis.

Four things we learned about Penn State Football on BTN's Camp Special

Pickel wrote a synopsis of Tuesday night's spotlight on the Penn State football team from the conference network. He shares his thoughts about what was meaningful and what he thought was important from that group.

Quotes from Media Day thatstuck with us

For the main portion of today's show, we'll discuss the quotes that stuck with us since Saturday. Not every comment gets an immediate return after a player or coach utters it into a microphone. Sometimes it takes reflection and perspective to illuminate how important that comment was. We'll go through talking points from offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki, defensive coordinator Tom Allen, and several players, including Drew Shelton and Kaden Saunders.

Sunday Film Study

Finally, we'll discuss the Sunday Film Study we did this week on the Blue White Illustrated message board. We took a deep dive into Kotelnicki's offense at Kansas when he beat Penn State's first opponent in 2024, West Virginia. The game took place in 2022, but there are obvious elements in the running and passing game that translate to the current Nittany Lions team. We'll discuss the major takeaways from that game and how perception is very different from the reality of box scores.

Believe it or not, we're just one day away from our next look at Penn State practice. The team will open its doors again this week on Thursday. Stay tuned to Blue White Illustrated for practice insight and information.

Penn State football enters an unprecedented change in the modern landscape of college football this year. For the first time ever, the playoff is expanded to 12 teams. At the same time, the Big Ten's own expansion and removal of divisions means that the Nittany Lions are no longer locked in an eternal battle royal with two of the top five teams in college football in Ohio State and Michigan. With that opportunity, is it now or never for Penn State head coach James Franklin and his staff to finally reach the postseason?

Penn State starts the march toward that goal today when training camp opens up for the 2024 season. Blue White Illustrated senior editor Nate Bauer joins BWI Live to answer that question and to discuss what he's looking for on Wednesday evening when the team opens up practice to the media.

Finally, you'll hear an exclusive interview with new Penn State defensive end Max Granville. He discusses why he chose the Nittany Lions, why he reclassified to 2024, and his goals for the upcoming year.
