The quarterback catastrophe in Happy Valley took not one, but two more turns on Tuesday leading to thoughts that there may be just as many quarterbacks on the 2011 roster as there were during the 2010 season.
One of the most high profile crime stories of 2010 was revisited early this week when the State College Police Department charged Penn State graduate Mason Worley in connection with three cases of arson.
As first reported by Lions247.com, Rob Bolden's father has said that his son will seek a transfer from Penn State. The freshman quarterback, who was named the first Penn State freshman opening-day starting quarterback ever, was benched in favor of Matt McGloin after suffering a concussion against Minnesota and struggling to move the offense in his next appearance against Northwestern.
Just when it looked like the Nittany Lions would rally in the fourth quarter to upend the Florida Gators in the Outback Bowl, a Matt McGloin-thrown interception return for a touchdown in the final minute sealed Penn State's fate, 37-24.
Even if it's not Joe Paterno's last game, the Outback Bowl will mark the end of a more than a few Penn State football careers.
But that's the way it is. Seniors have to graduate just like fish have to swim (turns out the NCAA doesn't really accept the "super-senior" designation with the same aplomb as the rest of the Penn State community).
There's one Penn State football player whose departure I am dreading, though. He's far and away my favorite athlete on the team. Here are the top five reasons why I'll miss running back Evan Royster.
After disappointing seasons for both teams, the University of Florida Gators and the Penn State Nittany Lions will take to the field at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Florida to compete in the Outback Bowl.
