Toward the end of the first quarter, Nerraw McCormack made a brief appearance at right tackle in place of starter of four games, Ako Poti. Joe Paterno had said the two would battle it out in practice for the starting nod at RT, leaving us to wonder if Joe was simply giving McCormack a shot to see what he can do.
It was really bizarre that Joe would make this switch mid-drive, so I asked about it after the game.
Joe said Poti was having trouble with his cleat.
"He's just gotta go down or something if he's gonna have shoe problems and mess around," center Stefen Wisniewski joked.

Penn State is now 7-1 on the road the last two seasons, a remarkable, uh, mark considering it's been historically hapless away from, uh, Happy Valley in recent years.
"When you take a tight team that really gels well together and you go on the road in a tough environment, it really brings you together even more," Wisniewski said. "When you have that adversity on the road, you need a team that's together in order to play well."
The Spread HD helps too, I suppose.
