Penn State will bring a close to its spring football practice schedule on Saturday afternoon with the playing of the annual Blue-White spring game in Beaver Stadium. The spring game will return to a more traditional format this year with two teams battling for bragging rights to take into the summer, with a few players playing on both sides.
Coming off a Rose Bowl victory to cap an 11-2 season, the bar is being raised by national pundits for the Nittany Lions in 2023. Many of the featured players that will determine the fate of the season will be on display on Saturday afternoon, although how much paying time they truly see may vary. The competition for pivotal roles in the fall could see some momentum swings and confidence boosts during the spring game, while the focus for many will be on the quarterback situation.
[autotag]Drew Allar[/autotag] is assumed to be the successor to Sean Clifford at quarterback, and the spring game won’t be changing that trajectory. But after so much attention was given to the amount of playing time [autotag]Beau Pribula[/autotag] was receiving during practice this spring, it will be interesting to see how Penn State’s other quarterback could be utilized in ways Allar can’t or won’t.
Don’t expect to see Penn State break open the entire playbook during the spring game, but it will be worth paying attention to for one final taste of college football before the fall. Here’s how to watch the game.
