Nittany Lions Wrap Up Spring with Confidence, Eye 2015 Season

April 19, 2015

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Sunny skies and 68,000 fans greeted the Nittany Lions inside Beaver Stadium during the final day of spring practice for the 2015 season.

After a practice period marked by superb progress, the Nittany Lions will head into the final few weeks of the spring academic semester and summer with a great deal of confidence. The Blue topped the White, 17-7, during a productive Saturday for the Lions.

"We got what we wanted to get out of it," said head coach James Franklin. "We stayed healthy, which is the most important thing, especially in our situation. We were able to mix the run and the pass. Obviously, our defensive line still holds an advantage over our offensive line. That's going to be a work in progress and a focus in the offseason. It was great to see some of the running backs like Nick Scott and Akeel Lynch make some plays, but we had great work. We had two real teams. We didn't end up having to run guys from one side to the other, so guys got a bunch of reps."
