FYI about Penn State

[unionfutura]

They lost Austin Scott for the year, tore his MCL. With Tony Hunt slowly recovering from an ankle injury, PSU is hurting in the backfield.

But DWill is there!!!!!!!!

He is playing QB, WR, and RB this year. They are only taking the field with 8 guys on offense to make it fair for the other teams!!!!

Don't come to me with a story about Penn State's depleted RB depth when they have the NOT-OF-THIS-EARTH talent of DWill on that team.

Sorry, but Penn State fans pissed me off this year.

Still, I don't ever like to see anyone get hurt. Hope he recovers enough to be able to play again.

This has the beginnings of Iowa's injury bug a while back. They lost 4 rb's and had to rely on a Def and Drew.

 

[methomps]

I encourage everyone to send a PM to BN27 telling him to keep his head up. He's a closet PSU fan and is really torn up about all of this.

I think the staff is just taking it slow with Hunt rather than he is in serious danger of missing any action in '06. While he is still hurting from the injury, high ankle sprains usually take awhile to recover from, the staff just doesn't want to risk further injury to a proven back like Hunt.

Hunt will be ready to go on 9/2. Yeah, losing Scott is going to hurt the depth but it leaves Rodney Kinlaw, Derrick Williams and maybe incoming freshman A.J. Wallace a chance to grab some carries they would have otherwise missed out on. Besides that, provided he returns in '07, Scott will be the feature back. That was the one position on offense that PSU had a question mark at already for '07. Many had been suggesting redshirting Scott in '06.

As Lurking just pointed out, we have a slew of horses in the stable that are more than capable of replacing Austin.

We recruit only the best athletes and these guys are chomping at the bit to get some PT.

oh jesus christ. give it a rest.

Scott has under achieved at PSU. World of talent and can't get it together.
Some doubt he'll ever live up to the hype.

Marsh Creek welcome. I am sure that your optimism is infectious. Seems like all PSU fan think they have the deepest bench in the B10.

BTW...Marsh Creek. Is that near Brokeback Mountain?

 

[great1]

You mean Backdoor Mountain.:)

welcome back to big-boy football. The rest of the powers have been stocking the cupboards while JoePa was off reminiscing about the glory years.

Pissed off? OR PISSED ON? I'm confused...

 

[BGriffBuckeye]

You gotta think Justin King will get serious looks at RB this year.

Thanks for the kind words. What a great way to usher ourselves back into college football's elite!
