Penn State staffing issue before bowl, Allar Film Room: BWI Daily
More uncertainty clouds the future of the Penn State football defensive staff. Are the Nittany Lions done losing coaches? Head coach James Franklin and his staff are currently out on the road putting the finishing touches on the recruiting class of 2022. Yet safeties coach Anthony Poindexter emerged this week as one of, if not the leading candidate to be the next head coach at Virginia this weekend. So how can Penn State weather that storm on the recruiting trail? If Poindexter gets the job out of Happy Valley, will any other defensive coaches follow Pry or Poindexter?
Penn State’s defense in flux before bowl
While those are all questions to be answered over time, one thing is for sure, Penn State’s defense will be in flux when they face Arkansas in the Outback Bowl on New Years Day. That is what host Thomas Frank Carr focuses on during the BWI Daily edition to start the second week of the offseason.
Arkansas presents one of the more unique challenges that Penn State has seen this year from an offensive perspective, and T-Frank touches on some of the key names to know early in the process. He gives some stats and figures to know about the Arkansas offense and raises some concerns about Penn State’s ability to prepare if they lose too many more coaches.
T-Frank’s Film Room: Drew Allar
After that brief overview of the upcoming bowl game, the show focuses on the 2022 recruiting class and five-start quarterback Drew Allar. T-Frank’s film room focuses on the senior from Medina, OH, and his development over time. T-Frank breaks down Allar’s footwork and how it has changed since his emergence on the scene in 2020 as a four-star prospect.
He shows that progression then focuses on some of the other details that show up in Allar’s film and his development in those areas. Those include:
- Pre Snap diagnostics
- Pocket movement and throwing off-platform
- Arm Talent and strength
- Deep accuracy
- Throwing under pressure
T-Franks also weighs in on the biggest question that Penn State fans want to know; Could Allar start in 2022?
