Penn State Football: 3 takeaways from 2022 spring practice

Penn State football looks to turn the page on a mediocre 2021 season. Here are three takeaways from their spring practices.

Penn State football wrapped up their spring practices with the Blue-White game this past Saturday. It was the first Blue-White game since 2019 because of the pandemic.

After a great 5-0 start to the 2021 season, things fell apart on the back end of the season for Penn State. The Nittany Lions just went 2-5 down the stretch and looked lackluster in an Outback Bowl loss to Arkansas.

James Franklin and his team look to put 2021 behind them and correct some of the issues that plagued the team a year ago. A team certainly cannot make all the corrections needed in the allowable 15 practices including the spring game. But spring at least gives some of the newest members of the team the opportunity to get their feet wet at the collegiate level.

It is difficult to make too many judgements of this year’s Nittany Lions based on the limited amount of spring practices. However after reading interviews with the coaches over the last few weeks and viewing the Blue-White game, we can make a few assessments. Here are three takeaways from Penn State’s spring as they head into summer training.
