Today’s Penn State football news headlines feature thoughts from West Virginia coach Neal Brown and plenty of content previewing the Lions’ 2023 season.
Brown spoke with reporters on Monday and again declined to name a starting quarterback or elaborate on his Mountaineers’ depth chart in general. He also spoke glowingly of the pressure defense he’ll see from Penn State on Saturday and said he counted at least nine future NFL draft picks on Lions’ two-deep on defense. Kevin Redfern from Gold and Blue Nation had a recap from Brown’s Monday media availability.
Mark Wogenrich and Max Ralph from All Penn State put their thoughts together to forecast Penn State’s season and asked the big question, is it College Football Playoff or bust? The two of them hit a number of solid topics from most important players, breakout candidates and what it will take to make the four-team playoff. On a similar note, Ben Jones from StateCollege.com looked at all the factors that could make or break Penn State’s season.
