Penn State-Washington: How big is James Franklin's WR problem? Any blame for Drew Allar?

North Shore Drive podcast - Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more

On their weekly Penn State football podcast, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian insider Joel Haas to react to last week's loss to Ohio State and look ahead to this weekend's matchup against Washington in the annual white out game at Beaver Stadium. How big is coach James Franklin's receiver problem after the group combined for just three receptions against the Buckeyes and were dwarfed in the passing game by running back Nick Singleton and tight end Tyler Warren? Is there any chance for guys including Trey Wallace, Liam Clifford, Julian Fleming and Omari Evans to improve substantially between now and a potential College Football Playoff run? And how much responsibility does QB Drew Allar have for the receivers' struggles? Our duo tackles those questions, OC Andy Kotelnicki's playcalling and the end of the game against Ohio State; Franklin's recent engagements with fans and media; and the state of the Big Ten and CFP races.
