Offense struggles as Lions fall to Buckeyes

Hours after Iowa lost, Penn State's Big Ten championship and BCS bowl hopes took a serious dent with a 24-7 loss to Ohio State. Updated 6:39 PM

Track record shows Tressel deserving of praise

I'm an athletic director looking for a new football coach. I've had stacks of applications sitting on my desk for weeks, but one in particular just caught my eye. It's a red folder with a shiny silver "JT" stamped into it. Inside, the resume.

Pryor prepares for first game at Penn State

Terrelle Pryor is a Pennsylvania native who chose an Ohio school for college. He delayed his decision 42 days, and he deemed Penn State "too country." He is the starting quarterback for Ohio State and, in just his second season, he has drawn a bigger spotlight than anyone in the Big Ten.
