James Franklin has made a big step towards replacing Allen Robinson and putting some weapons on the field for Christian Hackenberg to work with as four-star wide receiver Saeed Blacknall, originally a Rutgers commit, flipped to the Nittany Lions after making an unofficial visit to Penn State last week.
Despite outplaying the number two team in the nation for the majority of the game, Penn State dropped its fifth straight game last night to Boston College 3-2. The Nittany Lions now move to 4-15-1 on the year, which probably makes them the best fifteen loss team in the country as Penn State is 3-7 in one goal games.
The newly formed Penn State football coaching staff wasted no time getting to work as the team landed two players on Saturday in the form of four-star athlete Koa Farmer and three-star kicker Jorge Powell.
A Penn State Altoona Engineering student was arrested last night on multiple charges for possessing a weapon of mass destruction. The Altoona police arrested 19-year-old Vladislav Miftakhov after they found a suspected bomb and materials to build a bomb inside a suitcase at his residence in Altoona. Miftakhov admitted to buying the materials over the internet over the last several weeks, and the bomb squad was called in to deconstruct the apparatus.
