UNIVERSITY PARK
After eight spring practices, a cloudy situation is coming into focus.
There is plenty of time between now and the start of the Nittany Lions' 2018 opener — five months to be exact — so a lot can change. But two safeties have emerged in a wide-open position battle: Nick Scott and Garrett Taylor.
"I don't think we'll make any decisions obviously until camp," Penn State head coach James Franklin said Wednesday night at Holuba Hall. "But I think if we were playing Saturday, right now it's Garrett and Nick."
Taylor and Scott, two veterans, have positioned themselves well to replace Marcus Allen and Troy Apke.
