James Franklin, who will earn upwards of $4.5 million this year, is the eighth-highest paid NCAA football coach in the country.
Four-star DT Adam McLean decommitted from Penn State, the second decommitment in about a month.
After spending three weeks in Hershey Medical Center due to complications from a rib and bowel injury suffered in practice, James Franklin said Tuesday safety Ryan Keiser is on his way back to State College.
It was a chilly Big Ten noon game in the middle of the season, which is about as inauspicious as a gameday experience can be. Nonetheless, save for one half of miserable football, it was actually...fun. Watching Penn State play (more specifically, its offense) was fun for the first time in awhile, with postseason play and state pride on the line.
Former Penn State lacrosse player Chris Hogan caught his first NFL touchdown this past Saturday. The fourth year wide receiver made it into the league as an undrafted free agent from Monmouth University, where he spent his final season of collegiate eligibility playing football. His journey to the NFL was not easy, but ever since being promoted to the Bills' 53-man roster, he hasn't looked back.
Redshirt sophomore running back Akeel Lynch has been waiting for his chance in the spotlight. It hasn't always been easy, but with two seniors ahead of him, he was firmly entrenched as Penn State's third option at running back on the depth chart. However, that all changed in an instant. Zach Zwinak's season was over, and Lynch's number was called. The young ballcarrier accepted this challenge, and hasn't once looked back.
