No need to sugarcoat things. Penn State just got an old fashion butt whooping from Iowa. Let’s get to it: Quarterbacks — Daryll Clark couldn’t have thrown a better first pass. Unfortunately he didn’t throw many good ones after the 79-yard touchdown to Chaz Powell on Penn State’s first play. Yes, Clark threw three interceptions, [...]
Four-star defensive end Dominique Easley out of Curtis High School in Staten Island became Penn State’s 18th verbal commitment for its 2010 recruiting class when he verbally pledge during an unofficial visit over the weekend. Easley, who picked the Lions over offers from Florida, Michigan, Notre Dame and Tennessee among others, became the third player [...]
Another so-so performance from Penn State in its 31-6 victory over Temple on Saturday. There were some things I liked, but more that I didn’t. Let’s get to it: Quarterbacks — Daryll Clark had a decent day going 16-for-26 for 167 yards and two touchdowns, but someone at his size shouldn’t be getting balls knocked [...]
Warren (Mich.) Mott defensive end C.J. Olaniyan has committed to Penn State. The announcement came on Wednesday evening, according to BlueWhite Illustrated, giving the Nittany Lions 17 commitments for the class of 2010.

I know I said I wouldn’t be posting this until Sunday morning, but rain pushed the Pocono Mountain East-Pius X game back to Sunday so I got to watch the Nittany Lions’ 28-7 victory over the Orange on Saturday. Here’s how I saw things: Quarterbacks – Daryll Clark had a pretty good day through the [...]
With a mixed up high school football schedule this weekend (Pocono Mountain East travels to meet Pius X on Saturday afternoon, a game I’ll be covering at 1 p.m.) I wanted to let those who frequent Lions Land to know what I’m planning this weekend. Since I’ll only be able to catch the first half [...]
Even on Joe Miegoc’s scheduled day off, he still provides the goods. Via text message, Miegoc said that five-star defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd will take his official visit to Penn State when it plays Minnesota on Oct. 17. Rivals.com rates Floyd, a 6-3, 310-pound senior from Philadelphia, as the top defensive tackle in the country [...]
It wasn’t Penn State’s finest performance, but it didn’t really need that against an obviously outmatched Akron squad. What I thought I’d do this season was evaluate each position with brief commentary and a grade. We’ll see how that goes for now. Quarterback – Daryll Clark’s numbers were good (29-40-353 and three scores) and true [...]
It’s hard to believe, well maybe not so much because of all that’s gone on the past five or so years, but another Penn State player is in trouble with the law.
