4-star receiver Troy Apke, from Mt. Lebanon, PA, committed to Penn State yesterday over his father's program at Pitt.
With three returning starters from last year's unit, one might assume that Penn State's secondary will look similar to the one that saw the field in 2012, but that is not necessarily the case. More depth will allow the Nittany Lions to utilize nickel and dime defensive packages when needed, something that often frustrated secondary coach John Butler last season.
Us Penn State bloggers are a tight-knit-crew. Indeed, it's hard to imagine a blogosphere more robust than the one Penn State has, with dozens of news, sports, and comedy blogs all serving our beloved Nittany Lions every day. We write, we edit, and we bitch about each other on Twitter probably more than normal people should. But bloggers tend to be bonded in a fraternity fueled by the passion that drives alternative media everywhere.
And it's all online. Well, until now.
Bill O'Brien has no reservations about sharing his thoughts on much of the returning experience at skill positions or making an already comprehensive playbook even thicker, but play selection and run-pass ratio is usually an off limits topic. Heading into the 2013 season, it is a rather intriguing topic based on O'Brien's history and the current offensive personnel.
Penn State football legend Franco Harris is adding another award to his trophy case, and this time it has nothing to do with football (or PS4RS).
Penn State officially hit the double digit mark of spring practice yesterday as the Blue-White game inches closer. An afternoon thunderstorm washed away some nice weather and forced the Nittany Lions inside Holuba Hall, a common theme over the past few weeks. Bill O'Brien spent much of the time watching quarterbacks and for the most part seemed pleased.
