2 Penn Staters drafted: Royster to Redskins, Wisniewski to Raiders

The Washington Redskins selected Penn State all-time rushing leader Evan Royster in the 6th round of the NFL Draft (Nationals Journal, The Post). Having watched 4 seasons of Royster as a Nittany Lion, I thought I’d share a few notes about Royster.
Royster has a great field vision and can find a hole better than most [...]

Outback Bowl: Florida 37 Penn State 24; Bolden wants out

This just in — Matt McGloin just threw another interception.
The Penn State Nittany Lions concluded their 2010 season with an interception filled Outback Bowl against the Florida Gators. Despite leading heading into the fourth quarter, the Nittany Lions lost fairly big. McGloin, the walk-on quarterback showed why he was a walk-on and why his teammates [...]

2011 Outback Bowl: Penn State vs. Florida prediction

The run up to the Outback Bowl has been mostly about the coaches: Florida’s Urban Meyer, stepping down at age 46 and Penn State’s Joe Paterno, planning to return for his 46th season at age 84. Meyer is apparently off to ESPN following today’s game. Paterno and his family denied rumors that he had been [...]

Michigan State Spartans 28 PENN STATE NITTANY LIONS 22

Football season is over.
Penn State played pretty uninspired football for 3 quarters today, falling to the Michigan State Spartans. The Nittany Lions could not get much going offensively after their first drive, when Evan Royster ran roughshod over Sparty. MSU adjusted and built up a 14-3 half time lead. The Nittany Lions seemed to be [...]

Penn State Nittany Lions 41 INDIANA HOOSIERS 27

LANDOVER, Md. — Contrary to expectations and standard operating procedure, the Penn State Nittany Lions came out of the gates strong on the road and went up 14-0 over the Indiana Hoosiers on Saturday. The noon kickoff and some bus issues (four players, including captain Ollie Ogbu didn’t get on in time and one bus [...]

OHIO STATE BUCKEYES 38 Penn State Nittany Lions 14

After a huge win in Columbus two years ago, the Penn State Nittany Lions reverted to their old ways in getting trounced by the Ohio State Buckeyes in Ohio Stadium. The story was different than previous ones as Matt McGloin led Penn State to a 14-3 lead with two first half touchdown passes. Those TD [...]

PENN STATE NITTANY LIONS 35 Northwestern Wildcats 21

I missed the first 10 minutes or so of this Saturday’s game. It was poor planning to think we could run an errand on Route 7 out of Alexandria on a Saturday afternoon. In the end, it probably worked out rather well given how poorly Penn State was playing. It was already 7-0 in favor [...]

Penn State vs. Northwestern prediction

It was my freshman year that Northwestern made its shocking run to the Rose Bowl. The Wildcats have been respectable ever since, having some bad seasons here and there, but overall representing the Big Ten conference well. That the program with the toughest academics and lowest enrollment can hang in their against enormous Land Grant [...]

Blue White Roundtable: Penn State vs. Northwestern

Two bloggers from JoePa’s Doghouse provided this week’s questions. First off, Rowlf Dog:
1) Congratulations to Evan Royster for breaking the all-time Penn State rushing record. Where do you rank him compared to the PSU running backs you have seen play live?
Despite all the yards, I’d put Evan Royster below Curtis Enis, Larry Johnson [...]

PENN STATE NITTANY LIONS 41 Michigan Wolverines 31

Okay, Penn Staters, can you remember the last time that watching the Nittany Lions was so much fun? It has been a while. Saturday night’s Penn State victory over Michigan was a shockingly satisfying victory over a long-hated rival. I did not think the Nittany Lions had it in them.
Several performances highlighted the 41-31 [...]
