Penn State football coach James Franklin identifies two key aspects requiring enhancement in Week 3 competition
Penn State Football Continues Impressive Start
Penn State football is off to a strong start in the 2022 season, with two wins under their belt and a shutout streak that extends to five games.
In their latest victory, a 46-11 win against Nevada, Kaytron Allen led the running game with an impressive 144 rushing yards and a touchdown. Drew Allar, the team's quarterback, also had a solid performance, throwing for 200 yards, 2 touchdowns, and no interceptions.
The team's defense was equally impressive, forcing 2 fumbles and 2 sacks. This strong defensive showing is a testament to the team's hard work and dedication, as they continue to improve in the areas that Head Coach James Franklin wants to see progress.
Franklin spoke about the game via Tyler Donohue of 24/7 Sports, giving props to the team for their accomplishments. However, he also acknowledged that the team struggled to get into a rhythm due to issues on third down.
Despite these challenges, Penn State has managed to stay high in the AP rankings and could continue to do so as the season continues. The team is deploying a younger group on the field, and Franklin is optimistic about their potential to improve in the coming weeks.
Franklin also expressed a desire to improve the team's offensive explosiveness, with the goal of becoming more effective on third down. This focus on improvement is a testament to the team's commitment to success and their determination to continue to excel on the field.
It is worth noting that Penn State has achieved this impressive streak with a number of different coordinators, demonstrating the team's adaptability and resilience.
As the team prepares for their next game, they will no doubt be looking to build on their success and continue to impress both their fans and their opponents. The University of Michigan, who plays their home games at Michigan Stadium, also known as "The Big House," will be the next team to face off against Penn State. It promises to be an exciting matchup, with both teams looking to come out on top.
