William World News William F. Yurasko's blog v.14 – Nats, Redskins, Capitals, D.C. life, transportation, not so much Penn State anymore,

Former walk-on (he hates being called that!) quarterback Matt McGloin has turned his up and down Penn State career into a mini-camp invitation by the Washington Redskins. Here are what Redskins fans ought to know:
He’s short
His arm is not a Division-IA (okay FBS) arm
He likes to throw deep
He has a temper and missed a bowl [...]

I have not blogged in the last two weeks since I wrote my tirade about Penn State’s handling of the Jerry Sandusky scandal. My reaction has gone to shock, anger, numbness to increasing ambivalence about my university and its football team. Sure, I have watched the Nittany Lions (the Nebraska game a day later) and [...]

Friday Q&A: Penn State QB Matt McGloin – ESPN
Penn State quarterback Matt McGloin is saying the right things (though hinting there is more he’d like to say) about the 2011 Nittany Lions. It sounds as though he had a bit of an epiphany during preseason practice – Don’t screw it up for the defense! McGloin [...]

Adam Collyer of Black Shoe Diaries writes the questions because bloggers don’t take bye weeks…
BSD: The Nittany Lions now sit at #15 in the polls, having won 7 straight. Think back to the morning of September 3rd. What were your expectations for this team? Are they were you thought they would be [...]

In the last 3 minutes of the Penn State Nittany Lions victory over the Illinois Fighting Illini, I noted that I feel my heart racing and wondered aloud what my heart-rate was then. I had not expected to actually measure it, but there just happened to be tools where I watching the game, so there [...]

Just before the game began last night, my wife asked me who had the first possession and I said, “hopefully, us, Northwestern is kicking off.” So, naturally Chaz Powell fumbled away a good kickoff return and Dan Persa and Northwestern quickly converted to go up 7-0 before Penn State QB Matt McGloin could even get [...]

This week’s questions from Adam Collyer at Black Shoe Diaries
BSD: The “Bend-But-Don’t-Break” defense is supposed to prevent the big play and force the opposition to put together a long, mistake-free drive if it wants to score. Last week against Purdue, the Nittany Lion defense did the opposite, giving up multiple plays of 20 yards [...]

Everybody but Penn State head coach Joe Paterno seems to have concluded that Matt McGloin is the best or “least bad” option as Nittany Lions quarterback right now. While Rob Bolden may continue to get the start, just about everybody figures that McGloin will get the majority of snaps against the Purdue Boilermakers this week, [...]

After leading the Penn State Nittany Lions 90 yards down the field, QB Matt McGloin threw an interception in the end zone late in the third quarter. Iowa took over at the 20 yard line and I thought to myself, “this is where the Hawkeyes turn it around and come back to beat Penn State.” [...]

Week 5 of Blue White Roundtable — Isn’t it weird that the Nittany Lions are traveling to play the Hoosiers, but not going to suburban Maryland to play the game? I was all ready to get on the Blue Line to FedEx Field.
BSD: Is it worth starting Matt McGloin this week at QB? Will [...]
