Penn State assistant coach Sean Spencer has replaced All-Americans and NFL draft picks before — but he is in for his toughest task yet.
The Nittany Lions need two new starting defensive tackles. Wait, scratch that. They need a "two-and-a-half to three-deep," according to head coach James Franklin.
The reality is, though, Penn State has two interior linemen it can rely on right now in Kevin Givens and Robert Windsor. That's it. The rest are total wildcards, and that uncertainty makes defensive tackle a scary situation for a team with College Football Playoff aspirations in 2018.
