As promised, Host Thomas Frank Carr brings in other experts to give their confidence in the #PennState #NittanyLions roster by position in a series called "Confidence Factor". T-Frank and senior editor Nate Bauer discuss each position group and how confident they are that they'll play up to their level of expectation. Here is T-Frank's chart for what each number means.
CONFIDENCE FACTOR CHART
50 or Below: Barely holding their own on the field to actively hurting the team
60-69: A position with some good plays and players but most a support member of the team.
70-79: A group that can produce an mid-tier All-Big 10 candidate
80-89: A group with a surefire All-Big 10 selection and most likely a first-team conference player with the production to match.
90+: All-American Consideration, national awards candidate.
They go through the roster to determine where they feel good, or unsure about the unit that Penn State is fielding.
