Penn State football is finalizing preparations for the 2023 season, with fall camp starting late next month. Before the season gets here, we will examine each position on the offense and defense to see if that unit will be better or worse than last season.  We have our first real sticky projection in our Better or Worse series. Overall the talent at the position is excellent, with four players with either extensive playing experience or superior talent. But one thing is standing in the way of the safeties being better than last season.
