Penn State football opened its practice to the media Wednesday night in Beaver Stadium for 20 minutes.
The Nittany Lions ran drills and 1-on-1 work throughout most of the open session, and Penn State head coach James Franklin spoke to the media following the night’s practice.
Franklin said the team had not decided on a starting left guard, but had four or five guys competing for the spot. He added that the team decided on its backup quarterback and starting safety opposite Jaquan Brisker, but declined to name either of those players, stating his desire to announce the news to the team first.
