"There weren't any fat kids out there," said head coach Joe Paterno after Saturday's 22-13 comeback victory against Temple, referring to the well-coached, well-prepared Owls.
The Penn State athletic department announced its agreement on Monday with Temple on a three-year extension to their football series.
The outcome was never in doubt, but Penn State made important strides both offensively and defensively in their 24-0 victory over Kent State.
"I thought today we improved a little bit," Penn State coach Joe Paterno said. However, he added, "We got a ways to go yet."
Beaver Stadium was bleeding blue and white Friday night as fans piled in for Football Eve, a celebration to kick off the start of the 2010 football season. The pep rally got off on the right foot with chants of "We are Penn State" and energetic music, courtesy of the Blue Band, echoing throughout the stadium.
The time has finally come. Kickoff from the Beav comes in two short days. The sports writers here at Onward State have scoured over statistics and depth charts, and finally let JayPa out of our torture chamber, now that we know who our starting quarterback is. We have now come up with the most comprehensive football preview you'll see. OK it's one paragraph apiece, but we're a blog, so deal with it.
For the first time since 1992, Penn State will send a true freshman behind center to take the first snap of the season as it was announced Robert Bolden will start Saturday against Youngstown State.
