Sports analyst Sam Cooper believes Penn State can take a step forward in 2022 following a challenging 2021 season.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, Penn State finished the season with a 7-6 record. The season ended with a loss to Arkansas in the Outback Bowl in January. With last season behind Penn State, this upcoming season could be much better if the offense can produce.<\/p>\n<p>The Nittany Lions will be led by 6th-year senior quarterback Sean Clifford. Cooper wants to see the offense take pressure off of Clifford and the defense fill some holes:<\/p>\n<p>For a turnaround in 2022, the offensive line play must be better. Adding five-star freshman Nick Singleton should give the running game a jolt. A more consistent running game takes some of the pressure off of Clifford, now a sixth-year senior. Defensively, the secondary and line are both solid but linebacker is a question mark. Ohio State is the obvious favorite in the Big Ten East, but it wouldnt be surprising if Penn State finished second in the division and ended up in a New Years Six bowl, Cooper said.<\/p>\n<p>The season begins on Thursday, Sept. 1 at Purdue in West Lafayette. If the Nittany Lions can make adjustments, the B1G East could be up for grabs in 2022. This will be a pivotal season for the entire program.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Read more: <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/saturdaytradition.com\/penn-state-football\/yahoo-sports-analyst-lays-out-path-to-bounceback-year-for-penn-state\/\" title=\"Yahoo!
