Penn State will say goodbye to 17 seniors tomorrow, but no matter where their life takes them, they will always have a home in Happy Valley.
It seems like just yesterday that Christian Hackenberg made his Beaver Stadium debut against Eastern Michigan in a 45-7 thrashing. On Saturday, the Nittany Lions (6-4, 3-3) will close out their home schedule against the Nebraska Cornhuskers (7-3, 4-2). In front of a home crowd, the Penn State senior class will be honored as Joe Paterno's second-to-last recruiting class heads out the door.
It’s almost time for another football Saturday for the Penn State Nittany Lions (6-4, 3-3). The team will take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers (7-3, 4-2) tomorrow afternoon at Beaver Stadium. The Cornhuskers are without star quarterback Taylor Martinez who will likely miss the rest of the season with a foot injury. Here are our staff predictions for tomorrow’s 3:30 p.m. kickoff.
Maybe you're planning to skip town and head home on Friday after your last class ends, and with 1,915 tickets on the student ticket exchange for as low as $11 already, you're probably not alone. I'm telling you that you might want to think twice about that decision.
“There has been a word that has been thrown around about this team -- resiliency -- a bunch of guys who never quit and never give up,” Carson said of the senior class's legacy. “We have gone through a lot of ups and downs, not only this season but in our football careers, but I think we will be remembered as that word."
In a career that has already been defined by his ability to overcome the odds, Matt McGloin has made another step towards reaching his dream on Wednesday when Oakland Raiders head coach Dennis Allen named him as the team's starter this weekend. McGloin made his NFL debut as a starting quarterback last Sunday against the Houston Texans in place of an injured Terrelle Pryor, throwing three touchdowns and leading Oakland to a victory.
