With 17 days until Blue White Weekend, Penn State football spring practice is in full swing. Christian Hackenberg, Angelo Mangiro, Trevor Williams, Ben Kline and Carl Nassib all spoke briefly to the media in the Lasch Building regarding the improvements on both sides of the ball and the anticipation to get back on the field following the seventh practice of the year.

An NCAA investigation uncovered a previously unreported victory for Joe Paterno, giving the legendary coach 410 wins.
The results of a two-year long study conducted by AccuWeather were revealed yesterday evening, and in a rather startling discovery, the study indicates that the spirit of Joe Paterno currently controls the weather that hovers over Happy Valley.
Penn State is in a good place and a bad place with quarterbacks heading into spring practice. On the one hand, Christian Hackenberg returns for a third year behind an allegedly improved offensive line. Other than that though the question remains: Who is the next starting quarterback at Penn State? If by chance Hackenberg returns for a senior season that question won't need to be answered, but unless Penn State is starting a true freshman next year, the next man up is either transferring in, or already on this roster.
James Franklin and about thirty dozen of his closest friends got together in Holuba Hall on Saturday morning. It was Practice Five of Penn State’s 2015 spring football season. But Job One for Franklin was about a half-dozen things. All were part of Penn State football. And Franklin was in the middle of them all -- equal parts CEO, coach, recruiter, cheerleader, spokesman, and even manager.
