Morelli ready to step under center<\/b><\/a> – CDT<\/i> Last year, Morelli got to play in four games and threw 13 passes. Even Joe Paterno<\/b> feels as though he burned Morelli’s redshirt. For his part, Morelli thinks he was ready to play last year, as well as right now, but I am not so sure. My gut says Morelli is a bit overconfident of his abilities and has a few yes-men (especially his father, who gets quoted a lot) feeding his ego a little too much. I think he can get there if he learns the playbook well, something many have speculated he had not done last season. Ideally, he will see a lot of action this season, because the Lions are already up by 4 touchdowns at halftime.<\/p>\n The one thing that appears to be holding Scott back is his ankle, which he broke during the spring. He says it is at 85%.<\/p>\n
The most popular player<\/i> on the Penn State team, the second string quarterback, finally gets a chance to speak to the media. This year’s model is Anthony Morelli<\/b>, the highly touted recruit from Western Pennsylvania who spurned Pitt to come to PSU after the Chad Henne<\/b> fiasco.<\/p>\n
Mature Scott could help Nitanny Lions<\/b><\/a> – Tribune-Review<\/i>
Entering his junior year, RB Austin Scott<\/b> claims to have grown up since coming to Penn State. Last year, he spent a lot of time in Joe Paterno’s<\/b> doghouse after missing meetings and a lackadaisical attitude. He had only 55 carries for 312 yards after a freshman season in which he had 100 carries and lead the lions with 436 yards. Scott has also dropped his weight 15 – 20 lbs, which should help his speed. <\/p>\n
