Spring football, specifically the spring game, always provides eternal optimism to the fans of their respective teams. It’s an introduction to rising, young stars that no one has seen play at the collegiate level yet. The spring game is also impossible for anyone’s team to lose and basically a clean slate that everyone can start fresh from. For Penn State football, this spring spelled the end of the Trace McSorley era, that saw a return to success, and the beginning of a new era.
Whether fans were prepared for a change or not, the Nittany Lions are going to look much different this year.
