Scott dropped from depth chart (Footblog)

Scott dropped from depth chart

It was a mere formality but Austin Scott is now officially off the depth chart for Saturday's game at Indiana. He's been replaced by redshirt freshman Brent Carter, who played in garbage time against Wisconsin.

Carter, who was a reserve defensive back earlier this season, is listed as the No. 3 running back behind starter Rodney Kinlaw and backup Evan Royster. Last week leading up to the Wisconsin game, Scott was listed at No. 3.

Joe Paterno evidently wants to the keep the redshirt on Stephfon Green, a freshman running back from John F. Kennedy High School in the Bronx, N.Y., and potential starter down the road.

Scott was charged Friday with rape, sexual assault and two counts of aggravated indecent assault, all felonies. Police also charged him with two counts of indecent assault and simple assault, both misdemeanors. A preliminary hearing for Scott is scheduled for Wednesday.

Matt Fortuna is a junior majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Collegian. He has previously covered the men's tennis, soccer and basketball teams. A traditionalist, he would like nothing more than to see Joe Paterno throw it back to his Brooklyn days and install the single-wing offense this season.

Nate Mink is a junior majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Daily Collegian and a 5-foot-10 sesquipedalian from Allentown who has tried to grow facial hair for 20 years. Sadly, he has been unsuccessful thus far. He is anxious to get a new driver's license in September and hopes the bartenders at Zanzibar in Ann Arbor believe he's 21.

Wayne Staats is a senior majoring in journalism and history and is a football reporter for the Collegian. He previously covered the baseball and women's basketball teams. He never made it far playing competitive football, unless Nerf football in grade school counts.

Matt Brown is a senior majoring in journalism and is the Collegian's football editor. He previously covered the Penn State men's basketball, baseball and women's soccer teams. While a fan of most sports, he thinks the 14 Saturdays of the college football season are the best 14 days of the year and all 34 bowl games are worth watching.
