Penn State Football: Bowl preview, hoops with Dave Eckert
0Penn State football takes on Arkansas tomorrow in the Outback Bowl, so BWI's Dave Eckert joins the show to give his thoughts on the eve of the game. He joins host Thomas Frank Carr to talk about the major storylines that have come up this week and share his thoughts on the matters of the day.
They start with the biggest story of the week, Penn State's opt-outs and injuries. With left tackle Rasheed Walker out for the game, Eckert gives his thoughts on what he expects from backup Olu Fashanu. After that, they talk about the situations that prevented Fashanu from playing earlier in the year when Walker initially left the lineup.
Next, they discuss the rash of defensive opt-outs for Penn State and how they will affect this game from a tactical standpoint. So how will the Nittany Lions fare with so many critical pieces missing up front? Eckert shares his thoughts on what to expect from those players. He also offers his insight and perspective on what fans should be looking for when watching the game.
After dissecting the bowl game, they turn their attention to winter sports. But, unfortunately, with COVD-19 cases spiking across the country, things are not going according to Penn State Men's Ice Hockey or Penn State basketball plan. Eckert shares the situation with T-Frank and tells him which games have were canceled and what the two teams are doing to try and get a match in before returning to Big Ten play.
Finally, Eckert and T-Frank discuss Penn State basketball recruiting. Eckert gives T-Frank the names to know and who to watch for with Penn State's efforts to build the program's future under new head coach Micah Shrewsberry.
