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

Penn State starting linebacker Brandon Smith was named the Big 10 Defensive player of the week for his performance against Auburn. But does the third year linebacker's performance measure up to the accolades? Host Thomas Frank Carr and BWI Senior Editor Nate Bauer get into the details of Smith's play so far this season.

They also discuss how Penn State's tough non-conference slate to star the year has caused challenges down the depth chart. How many players have seen the field so far this season? How different is that than normal? T-Frank and Nate discuss.

Finally they wrap up with a conversation about Penn State Basketball, which is in the middle of a recruiting effort of their own that will cross over into this coming weekend.

The #PennState #NittanyLions are 3-0 and have defeated two top 25 football teams to get there. The team sits at 6th in the nation and is poised to be a contender in 2021 thanks to stellar play from several key areas.

The clear strength of the team, according to host Thomas Frank Carr, is the secondary. The Penn State coverage unit, led by All-American candidate Jaquan Brisker has been playing at a level that Penn State fans have not seen from the Nittany Lions under James Franklin. T-Frank takes you through the metrics, player and rankings that back up that assertion.

Penn State will host a packed house at Beaver Stadium Saturday and not just in the stands, as it's also the biggest recruiting weekend of the year.

- The 2023 visitor list

- Can Nick Singleton play as a true freshman and should you be rooting for Drew Allar to be the starter in 2022 for Penn State?

They also get into a couple of questions from our weekly recruiting mailbag that Ryan does each Friday.

Finally they get to Ryan Snyder's best bets of the week. Games this week include:

Toledo vs. Colorado State

Ohio State vs. Tulsa

Penn State faces the Auburn Tigers at Beaver Stadium on Saturday and host Thomas Frank Carr has brought in two guests to get you ready for one of the biggest event in college football.

First senior editor Nate Bauer joins the show to give a ground-level perspective of what he's seen and heard leading up to the game. T-Frank and Nate discus how the game with Auburn came about and how Franklin and his coaching staff feel about it based on their comments this week.

They then get into a serious discussion about the actual factors that may make Penn State head coach James Franklin leave the program for greener pastures, as has been speculated in the media this week with the USC job opening up.

They finish their discussion with a look at the game and the key factors that will decide the outcome on Saturday.

Next, T-Frank welcomes in Mike Renner, senior draft analyst at PFF to give his view of the game from a national perspective. Mike is also the co-host of the Tailgate Podcast for PFF and will be at the game on Saturday. Mike discusses the players and matchups he's watching that will determine the outcome of the game.

The Penn State players include: Rasheed Walker, Sean Clifford, Jaquan Brisker, Jahan Dotson and Brandon Smith.

Penn State faces the Auburn Tigers Saturday for its White Out game at Beaver Stadium, and to get a better sense for Bryan Harsin's squad, host Thomas Frank Carr brings in Christian Clemente from AuburnSports.com to give a preview of the team.

First T-Frank gets Christian's view on how the White Out atmosphere is viewed by someone who has never been to Beaver Stadium and what he's expecting from the game.

They then talk about the impact of Harsin and how he's changed the program since taking over for Gus Malzahn.

Their offensive breakdown includes: Has Auburn's offensive line improved? Just how good is Tank Bigsby? Are there any other skill position players to know? What are Christian's impressions of Bo Nix as a passer in the new Auburn offense?

Then they transition over to the defensive side of the ball and examine the strength of the team. Christian and T-Frank discuss whether or not you should take the production of the first two weeks seriously or not, their production at linebacker, before finishing on the strength of the defense, the secondary.
