Posluszny: Heart of defense<\/b><\/a> – Patriot-News<\/i> More from The Collegian<\/i>: Penn State defense hungry for ’05<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n The real issue is whether we will have a Blue Sapphire again. After five years of world champion BOBBIE JO<\/b> Solomon, there was none last year. Perhaps with a year in between, the slippers will not be as intimidating to fill.<\/p>\n
PSU linebacker central to a guarded optimism about upcoming season<\/b>
So far, LB Paul Posluszny<\/b> appears to be a prototypical Penn State linebacker. Team him with Dan Connor<\/b> and it feels Linebacker U. is back. Both will probably be captains during their senior years.<\/p>\n
Penn State’s Robinson has home at QB<\/b><\/a> – The Inky<\/i>
This is not really news, we knew that Michael Robinson<\/b> would get the job over Anthony Morelli<\/b>. Even though Morelli makes more sense behind center for a number of reasons (arm strength, chance to be a three year starter, etc.) I am rooting for Robinson. In fact, I hope he does so well that he only has to play the first half because we are winning by four touchdowns and Morelli can get some snaps. I think the fact that this sort of thing has not happened much since the mid-90s is a big part of the QB development problems. It used to be that the Lions would not lose much when a QB graduated because the successor had seen a lot of playing time after the team went up big in the first half. This goes for other positions too.<\/p>\n
PROFESSOR Z<\/b><\/a> – Patriot-News<\/i>
When was the last time Penn State had a shutdown corner like Alan Zemaitis<\/b>? Never. Thankfully, he did not go pro, though he apparently could have if he had wanted.<\/p>\n
Student season tickets going on sale soon<\/b><\/a> – CDT<\/i>
They cost $159!<\/b> That is almost $23 a ticket! Ten years ago, when I was a frosh, it was $12 a game. The alumni seats probably went up by $2 this year. Is this sustainable with the mediocre product the we have had the last few years?<\/p>\n
Blue Band leader to flip for one more year<\/b><\/a> – CDT<\/i>
I did not know the drum major’s name last year and that is usually a good thing. Knowing his name usually means he is not landing his flips. <\/p>\n
