Penn State tweets of the day
We start with projections for college football’s next video game. EA Sports is releasing its first game of that variety in a decade on July 19. Will Backus of CBS Sports attempted to rank the top 10 teams by rating in the game. He has Penn State on the list, as they check in at tied for eighth at 92 overall. The Nittany Lions are tied with Michigan.
“Penn State’s offense is a bit further along than Michigan’s, at least in terms of experience,” Backus writes. “Former five-star prospect Drew Allar is back at quarterback after an up-and-down first season as a starter. If all else fails, the Nittany Lions can ride one of the nation’s best running back tandems in Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen. Both will certainly be rated, at the very least, in the upper 80s. The wide receiver position is concerning, to say the least, and the offensive line has some big shoes to fill with Olu Fashanu gone. It will be interesting to see how Abdul Carter, a versatile defender with a past as an off-ball linebacker, ranks as a defensive end now that he’s filling Chop Robinson’s role.”
Georgia is Patterson’s top ranked team followed by Ohio State and Oregon, who round out the top three.
