Ian Kenney spent the past 3 football seasons a little differently than most Penn State students: every Saturday he was responsible for landing 2 front-tuck flips in front of 100,000 people in addition to conducting the world-famous Pennsylvania State University Marching Blue Band. He served as the Drum Major and, this year, did so with a chipped bone in his foot.
The accolades just keep on coming for Penn State football. A day after six Nittany Lions were rewarded with 1st Team All-Big Ten honors, Defensive End Deion Barnes was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year.
Bill O'Brien has announced that he will stay at Penn State next season, despite rumors that he was looking at other schools or the NFL.
Bill O'Brien has been named Big Ten Coach of the Year after a successful first season in Happy Valley that concluded with an 8-4 record.
