BWI Daily: What is Penn State's football identity? Mailbag show with Greg Pickel

Each week the BWI Daily Edition opens up the mailbag to answer questions of Blue White Illustrated's staff. Today host Thomas Frank Carr and reporter Greg Pickel tackle questions about Manny Diaz's scheme, Penn State football's identity, and more. One of the questions they take to start the show deals with the quarterback situation. Penn State struggled last year to get two players at the position ready and faced the consequences of that in the team's loss to Iowa. How do they fix that this year? Penn State has three young quarterbacks in Drew Allar, Beau Pribula, and Christian Veilleux, representing a positive future for the program. T-Frank and Greg take different approaches to the question and how Penn State can approach the situation on the field and in practice. Another BWI message board member wants Pickel and T-Frank to pick a player they think will be most improved from last season. The writer picks tackle Caedan Wallace and Coziah Izzard as their offensive and defensive nominees. To make things interesting, the duo selects different players, despite agreeing with the pick of Wallace. What are reasonable expectations for Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen? That's what another message board member wants to know. Is the hype too much? Or can the duo be the starters in the season's first week? Pickel and T-Frank agree that they'll have a role but don't think either will unseat starter Keyvone Lee right away. Though, Pickel is high on their collective impact. They field other questions dealing with everything from Penn State's identity to Manny Diaz's scheme and even get a question about major league baseball. JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters: https://bluewhiteonline.comDownload our podcasts: https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/LRL3155877513?selected=DSVV2664982394Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3Sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
