Despite facing strict roster limitations and an uncertain quarterback situation, Penn State football has received two votes in the Associated Press's preseason top-25 poll.

ESPN gave Penn State fans a taste of what's in store for its Training Days feature in a short video clip released today. Cameras have been following around coach Bill O'Brien and the team during training camp for a one-hour ESPN or ESPN2 special to air Tuesday, Aug. 20, at 7 p.m., to be followed by a series of 30-minute features. And if this clip is any indication, we're in for a real treat.

It's hard to argue that anyone on Penn State's football team was more heavily criticized last season than kicker Sam Ficken. Ficken assumed the job after starting kicker/punter Anthony Fera transferred to Texas to be with his ailing mother.

Fan favorite, former defensive coordinator, and former interim head coach Tom Bradley will be joining the CBS Sports staff according to a network release.

Earlier today, it was announced that Penn State football will play Virginia Tech in a home-and-home series in 2022 and 2023.

Most teams, across all levels of football, would love to have a group of tight ends as talented and versatile as the the group Bill O'Brien will have in 2013. With five tight ends on the roster expected to make an impact, including a member of college football's 2012 All-Freshman team and an incoming five-star recruit, it's not a stretch to say the Nittany Lions will have the best group in America.
