Segment: Penn State podcast segment
**Top Team-Specific Takeaways**
- Other Iowa's got more or less a spring practice.
- Penn State, Matt Campbell, little bit more of a final practice is my understanding >> [clears throat] >> than a traditional spring game.
- Minnesota does have a traditional spring game.
- I mean, Penn State's obviously if it was a spring game would be far more interesting because of all the changes but they're not having one so it's just practice so there's really nothing there.
- I think like I I feel like if you're a Minnesota fan right now, you're far more excited about what's going on in your recruiting class than you are your spring game cuz they are doing pretty well on the 2027 trail right now.
- There was a little bit of the copy and paste all the Iowa State players but I think I think that there's going to be some good transfer portal additions that are going to be able to help both sides of the ball.
- Um I'm I'm not going to get anything obviously without it being a spring game more than a spring practice but as Penn State wraps up spring wanted to give them that opportunity here because among other places where things are going to be um
- They had an absolute luxury with what they got at running back having both Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen playing at a very high level for multiple years.

Can fill out the rest of the gets it. >> Salute your janitor's kids. Other Iowa's got more or less a spring practice. Penn State, Matt Campbell, little bit more of a final practice is my understanding >> [clears throat] >> than a traditional spring game. Minnesota does have a traditional spring game. Any others from that collection that stand out to you? I mean, Penn State's obviously if it was a spring game would be far more interesting because of all the changes but they're not having one so it's just practice so there's really nothing there. >> [sighs] >> I I don't know. I I think I think they're going to be good. >> but I mean I I thought Drake Lindsey was okay last year. >> Yeah, I I think we know what Minnesota is. Like it's going to look just like Minnesota. The question is how many games do they win playing that way this year? And I think like I I feel like if you're a Minnesota fan right now, you're far more excited about what's going on in your recruiting class than you are your spring game cuz they are doing pretty well on the 2027 trail right now. All right, good job, PJ. Uh a couple other new additions for Penn State that Penn State's got a roster that's going to have a lot of names that you go, oh yeah. I think I mean, I admit it. There was a little bit of the copy and paste all the Iowa State players but I think I think that there's going to be some good transfer portal additions that are going to be able to help both sides of the ball. Um I'm I'm not going to get anything obviously without it being a spring game more than a spring practice but as Penn State wraps up spring wanted to give them that opportunity here because among other places where things are going to be um interesting to go from 2024 all the way into 2025. They had an absolute luxury with what they got at running back having both Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen playing at a very high level for multiple years. So now when you lose them both, what does that end up meaning? James Peoples from Ohio State. That was That was the as I was going through I was like, oh yeah. That That could be something where, you know, he was he ended up getting beat out by Bo Jackson. Is he going to be able to step in? Is he going to be able to be a nice um a nice piece of that rushing attack helping out Rocco Becht have some balance in the backfield? I mean, I I think Carson Hanson will still be the top guy there but yeah, he's he's going to be a part of what they're doing for sure. I mean, as you mentioned, it's like I do wonder like completely you know, the draft is tonight.
