Breaking down Penn State football’s 2024 season by position group
A large portion of Penn State football’s disorganized 2023 offense is back for a cautiously positive comeback game.
How much more explosive and productive can it get in a big game?
When Beaver Stadium hosts West Virginia on August 31 and then plays host to West Virginia the following month, all eyes will be on new coordinator Andy Kotelnicki’s team. The continuity of the offense needs to be significantly improved, especially when it comes to downfield throwing, even if the Nittany Lions appear to have the talented offensive pieces necessary to contend for a Big Ten championship.
In the meantime, the defense is anticipated to be just as strong as it has been for the last several years, despite a few changes and adjustments.
Links to depth charts and breakdowns for each Penn State position group in 2024 are provided below:
Offensive line guide: Penn State’s deep offensive line needs to position the components correctly.
Under coach James Franklin, this club has greater depth than it has ever had.
Here on the line, Kotelnicki’s hopefully anticipated offensive comeback, which features a real freshman unicorn, gets underway. One of the six leaders of the team and arguably its best leader is the starting center, which is encouraging.
Guide to Quarterbacks: Are Quarterbacks Declining? Beau Pribula and Drew Allar have new looks.
It is Drew Allar’s responsibility to transform his success at making thoughtful, calculated decisions into a more potent downfield passing attack. One of the season’s main plot points will center on his working relationship with his wideouts.
Putting his gifted dual-threat backup Beau Pribula in a more significant position would also help.
