We still don't know about backup QBs

We may all be in the dark regarding the backups, and that light may not come on for a while. Daryll Clark, a first team All-Big Ten quarterback last season, enters the 2009 season as the unquestioned starter and leader after finishing his first season as a starter last year.

DE Massaro out for season

The injury list Joe Paterno admitted he hates "to even look at" just got a little longer. Penn State defensive end Pete Massaro will miss the upcoming season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee during Saturday's Blue-White Game, according to a press release.

LB depth shows without Bowman

With a decision on one star linebacker pending, Saturday's Blue-White game made it clear the linebacking unit won't be pressed to supply an adequate fill-in.

Clark's swagger put on display

Daryll Clark was busy at Saturday's Blue-White game, but unlike last year, every move wasn't evaluated to see if he was fit for playing the part of Penn State's starting quarterback.

Paterno remains wary of youthful secondary

While Joe Paterno wants to make an estimate regarding how good his secondary will be, he admits he can't tell how strong it will be.

Aaron Maybin (59) hits a Coastal Carolina ball carrier in the 2008 season-opening win.

Maybin ready for draft day

In just a day, it will all be over. The meetings, the evaluations and the ever-increasing anticipation will all be worth it when Roger Goodell steps to the podium at Radio City Music Hall and announces his name.

Ollie Ogbu (85) combines for a tackle with Navorro Bowman (18) last year.

Odrick, Ogbu anchor strong defensive line

Lost to the pros are Maurice Evans and Aaron Maybin. Gone is former captain Josh Gaines. Jared Odrick and Ollie Ogbu are trying to make people forget about all three of them.
