STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Listening to Joe Paterno, you'd think Penn State would be lucky to go .500 this season.
The defending Big Ten co-champs lose a sizable senior class, including the entire starting secondary and entire starting wide receiving corps. Penn State brings back national award candidates such as linebacker Navorro Bowman, defensive…

I'll be heading back to the Lasch Football Building in a few minutes to meet with Penn State star linebacker Navorro Bowman and, later on, head coach Joe Paterno.
It's been a fun morning so far.
I got a brief tour of the very…

After nine months of Big Ten blogging, I will finally be heading to State College to check in on the Penn State Nittany Lions. Several circumstances and coverage decisions prevented any trips earlier, but that's all in the past. I'm extremely psyched to head to Penn State!
I'll be meeting with head coach Joe Paterno, several players and,…

Penn State lost all four starters from a secondary that held up for most of last season before being shredded by USC in the Rose Bowl.
Halfway through spring practice, the Nittany Lions are still picking up the pieces in the back half.

I'll have a full Q&A with Penn State starting quarterback Daryll Clark on Wednesday, but here's a tidbit from the genial senior signal-caller, who has become one of my favorite interviews in the Big Ten.

Spring is in the air, even if there's snow on the ground outside my window.
