Rounding out the spring...and the All-Franklin Team

Penn Stated: Talking Penn State Football with Donnie Collins

It's finally over.
And we're not just talking about the All-James Franklin team, either.
As spring practice inches closer to the annual Blue-White Game at Beaver Stadium on April 13, Penn Stated hosts Donnie Collins and Sam Fremin open this week's podcast by breaking down the most interesting storylines of the spring to this point...and how they can manifest themselves in the spring-closing scrimmage next weekend.

• How much of new coordinator Andy Kotelnicki's offense should fans expect to see in the Blue-White Game?
• Who are some of the players at key positions who need to have big games?
• Can the offense and defense work together in the game to achieve some goals heading into what is going to be a hotly contested fall camp with plenty of change afoot for the Nittany Lions?

But the main event of this edition of the show is the conclusion of the All-James Franklin team. Celebrating Franklin's 10 seasons with the Nittany Lions, Donnie and Sam spent the last several weeks picking the best players at each position during the Franklin era, and they wind that team down this week with their picks at punter and kicker, and their four wild-card selections. Who didn't make the cut originally at their positions, but do now? And, what do the hosts feel was the most competitive position to pick a first-teamer at during this process? The answer might be surprising.
