Penn State head coach [autotag]James Franklin[/autotag] and offensive coordinator [autotag]Mike Yurcich[/autotag] didn’t want to wait very long to give fans their first glimpse of five-star running back [autotag]Nick Singleton[/autotag] in the Blue-White Game on Saturday afternoon. The first play of the afternoon was a simple handoff to one of the prizes of the recent Class of 2022.
Penn State opened the spring session with a few quick two-point conversion attempts before beginning its modified scoring system for the rest of the afternoon. Returning starting quarterback [autotag]Sean Clifford[/autotag] opened the session with a simple handoff to Singleton from the two-point yard line, and Singleton delivered with an easy run up the middle for a successful two-point conversion, but without the benefit of any points actually being rewarded. But just the image of the expected starting quarterback handing off to the next big-time running back was fun to enjoy at the start of the day.
Penn State’s next two-point conversion play saw [autotag]Christian Veilleux[/autotag] complete a pass to the endzone to Jaden Dottin, which was followed by some field goal attempts by the kickers on the roster. When the offense-vs-defense portion of the scrimmage officially started, Clifford returned to the field with [autotag]Keyvone Lee[/autotag] lining up in the backfield instead of Singleton.
