BWI Live: A Penn State football podcast from Blue White Illustrated episodes

October 08, 2021 BWI Daily: Who Could be Penn State‘s Next Class of 2023 Commit? Plus, Ryan Snyder‘s Best Bets
The Nittany Lions have been surging on the recruiting trail in recent weeks, but now that we're heading into the thick of the season, will Penn State pick up another player for its Class of 2023? BWI recruiting analyst Ryan Snyder is back on the BWI Daily to give his thoughts on who is the most likely to pull the trigger.
He and host Thomas Frank Carr go through his list, while also discussing if certain recruiting trends at tight end are intentional, or circumstantial, with the talent that Penn State has been targeting.
They also discuss a new NCAA rule regarding the expansion of recruiting classes in the event of transfers. Is head coach James Franklin already taking advantage of that rule with the large class in 2022? Or is something else at play.
T-Frank and Ryan also get into the likelihood of potential transfers from the program and adding players in the portal at key positions. T-Frank then gives an impassioned plea to Penn State fans about their expectations from their young signal callers in the class of '22.
They wrap up with an interesting conversation about how to project a players speed from high school to college and how Penn State views the numbers that they gather from prospects.
Finally they get into Ryan Snyder's Best Bets of the week which include:
South Carolina at Tennessee (-10.5.)
Alabama (16.5) at Texas A&M
Boise State at BYU (-5)
Vanderbilt at Florida (-38)
Penn State at Iowa (-2)

October 07, 2021 BWI Daily: Post-Practice Observations and Iowa Keys to Victory
Senior Editor of Blue White Illustrated Nate Bauer joins host Thomas Frank Carr as they discuss their observations on what they saw at Penn State's open practice Wednesday evening.
T-Frank asks Nate what he saw spending time watching defensive coordinator Brent Pry's portion of practice along with the other defensive coaches, while T-Frank gives his impressions of the receivers and quarterbacks working on very technical parts of the passing game. Nate also details his observations of Sean Clifford this week and how he feels the senior quarterback is conducting himself heading into the game against Iowa.
From there they discuss what James Franklin had to say after practice and what was discussed.
It includes: How the Iowa offensive output doesn't tell the whole story of the Hawkeyes offense, but how it does lead into an interesting discussion about how they've played outside of turnover-shortened fields this season.
They get into some specifics of what they found while digging into the information about how efficient their offense has been. T-Frank and Nate also discuss the importance of Jordan Stout and how he's changed James Franklin's decision making on fourth down this season.
Finally they wrap up practice observations by talking about Penn State's talented safety tandem and how Penn State's focus on getting turnovers has finally paid off after several years.
Then they take questions from fans submitted either on Twitter, or the Blue White Illustrated message board and get into some game-specific matchups and keys to how Penn State will need to attack and defend Iowa.

October 04, 2021 BWI Live: Recapping Indiana, Previewing Iowa
The BWI Staff is back to give you their Monday recap of Penn State's 24-0 win over Indiana on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. Host Thomas Frank Carr, Senior Editor Nate Bauer and Writer Dave Eckert talk about the game that was, as well as give their initial thoughts on the top 5 showdown at Kinnick Stadium next Saturday.

First, they start with their general impressions of the game as well and then shift their focus to the defensive side of the ball. They discuss how much you can take away from shutting out an Indiana team that was clearly outmatched and was not able to move the ball against the Penn State defense.

From there they discuss the Penn State secondary and their performance through the first five games of the season. Are they elite? Or have they faced bad quarterbacks on ranked teams? Nate and T-Frank discuss the nuance to that conversation while Dave gives his perspective on the players outside of star safety Jaquan Brisker.

After that they take a look at the Penn State offense and have a similar conversation about Sean Clifford against Indiana's complex defense. Who gets more credit (or blame) for the senior quarterbacks least efficient passing performance of the season. T-Frank gives his opinion on just how tough Head Coach Tom Allen's defense can be on a quarterback.

They also take questions from the audience about the game coming up on Saturday and how the staff feels that Penn State will fare facing an Iowa team that has been getting turnovers in bunches. Dave points out that Iowa isn't the only defense that has been doing so this year and Penn State fans should consider the idea that the Nittany Lions make be the team that dictates the flow of the game.

Finally they give their closing thoughts and what they're looking at heading into the week.

October 04, 2021 BWI Daily: Where Sean Clifford Has Improved The Most Since 2019
The quarterback is always the center of attention for a successful football team and at 5-0, Penn State QB Sean Clifford is drawing plenty of attention.
After a 24-0 win over the Indiana Hoosiers, BWI Live host Thomas Frank Carr goes into detail about where Clifford has improved from 2019 to today.
T-Frank explains which areas Clifford has taken the biggest strides in and how Mike Yurcich is operating his offense as opposed to how Ricky Rahne did in 2019.
Some of the areas that T-Frank highlights today include:
- Play under pressure and from a clean pocket
- Play action passing
- Deep Passing efficiency
T-Frank also revisits his comparison of Sam Ehlinger's 2020 season in his first year under Yurcich to what Clifford has done through five games in 2021.

September 30, 2021 BWI Daily: Indiana Football Preview with Dustin Dopirak of Indy Star
BWI Daily host Thomas Frank Carr interviews Indiana beat writer Dustin Dopirak of the Indy Star and the Bloomington Herald-Times to find out more about what's going on with the Indiana football team.
The Hoosiers are 2-2 so far this season with losses to two ranked teams in Iowa and Cincinnati. Dustin starts by taking T-Frank through the ups and downs of quarterback Michael Penix Jr.'s recovery from his third knee injury and second ACL tear in his right knee. He says that the injury itself didn't seem to be the issue early, but something else. Dustin also explains the story behind all of Penix Jr.'s interceptions to start the season and why head coach Tom Allen has stuck by the senior despite his struggles.
The pair also discuss how the Indiana offensive line has been dealing with its own injuries and how that has affected Penix Jr. and his ability to play his style of football early in the season. The offensive line, Dustin says, plays well enough to get the job done on the ground and through the air but won't blow anyone away. They also discuss what transfer running back Stephen Carr brings to the table and what he's been missing in his game so far this season.
That leads into a discussion about the receivers and skill positions that Dustin says are embattled through the first part of the year, not only due to injuries to key players but also the rocky road that tight end Peyton Hendershot has been walking for the last year. From there, the two switch their attention to the defense and the front seven, which is not a bad unit, but like the offensive line, may be more a sum of their parts than individual stars. The one star Dustin does point out is middle linebacker Micah McFadden, and explains how his absence from a game this season changed the course of the competition and how much he means to the defense.
The Indiana defense has been injury-riddled, like the skill positions and Dustin takes T-Frank through the list of players that won't play or may not play on Saturday and how that matchup will go beyond just Penn State receiver Jahan Dotson and cornerback Tiawan Mullen. He discusses the players that stand out, and what Indiana has been missing so far this season from that group.
Finally, he gives his impressions of Penn State and what he expects the key matchups to be on Saturday.
