View past issues The feeling pervading the hoarse and emotionally drained crowd, after Bill Belton ran two yards around the Wolverine defense for the game-winning touchdown, was akin to that at the end of Penn State’s last-minute 27– 24 upset of No. 2 Nebraska in 1982 and the 17–10 night-time conquest of No. 6 Ohio State in a 2005 White Out. A fringe benefit to the Penn State program is that 100 recruits along the southeast sidelines were exposed to the incomparable Beaver Stadium atmosphere in a prime-time White Out. With “We Are … Penn State” cheers reverberating across the gridiron, a happy Coach Bill O’Brien talked to ESPN sideline reporter Maria Taylor amidst a gathering crowd of fans, then rushed to the student section in FAN ZONE the south end zone, where players were excitedly exchanging high-fives Football Sc hedule with ecstatic fans hanging over the railings. T eam Ros ter After a vociferous rendition of the Alma Mater, players sprinted to the GoP SU Sports .c om Radio/T V Lis tings tunnel, from whence the loud clanging of the Victory Bell echoed Big T en Football T V throughout Happy Valley. Sc hedule The result highlighted a nearly Big T en Standings perfect Homecoming Week, during Big T en Sc hedule and Res ults which the men’s hockey team P enn Staters in the dedicated the magnificent new P ros Pegula Ice Arena with a 4–1 inaugural triumph over Army at the same time the men’s soccer team was posting a 3–1 win over Michigan Friday night, while thousands of returning alums lined the streets of campus and town to enjoy the country’s biggest Homecoming Parade. Earlier Friday, the women’s field hockey team knocked off Ohio State, 6–1, and on Sunday the Lady Lions shut out Bucknell, 2–0. Saturday night the nation’s No. 4 women’s volleyball team swept Wisconsin, after having outlasted No. 11 Minnesota, 3–2, on Wednesday. The week was dimmed slightly, and Michigan gained a bit of revenge, when its women’s soccer team upset the 15-time Big Ten champion Penn State squad, 1–0, on Sunday. But the Lions’ feisty Irish football coach was ebullient in his post-game press conference. “Both teams hung in there, both teams fought hard and thankfully Penn State came out on the winning end,” O’Brien noted. “It just says a lot about our kids, a very resilient bunch of kids that care about each other and really love playing for Penn State.” The sanction-ridden 2013 Nittany Lions were out-manned but not outplayed, and their never-say-die attitude kept them in the ballgame, despite facing a 10-point deficit with less than seven minutes remaining in the contest. A faint few fair-weather fans started toward the exits when a Penn State drive faltered at the UM-26. But stalwart Sam Ficken booted a 43-yard field goal through the uprights to cut the home team’s deficit to seven with 6:28 left. Michigan tried to protect its margin by mounting a time-consuming rushing attack and forcing Penn State to call all three of its timeouts. The Wolverines drained five minutes and 38 seconds off the clock by running 10 times for 31 yards then punting. With only 50 seconds remaining, true freshman quarterback Christian Hackenberg did what has been drilled into him at every Penn State practice he has attended in his short career. He executed the end-of- the-game drive. First, he threw a 14-yard pass to stellar wide receiver Allen Robinson, who made a sure-handed catch while keeping a toe inbounds along the east sidelines. Next, Hack aimed an aerial at a double- covered Brandon Felder that the veteran wideout took away from both defenders for a 29-yard gain. Finally, he decided to launch a long shot at the man with a 38-inch vertical leap. Robinson, the 2012 Big Ten Receiver of the Year, out-jumped his defender 36 yards downfield to make a circus catch and maintain his place as the Big Ten leader in receptions and yardage for 2013, as he fell to earth on the half-yard line. Hackenberg dove over his right guard John Urschel to cross the plane of the goal-line and score the first rushing touchdown of the year against the country’s ninth-best defense. The Lions had completed a scintillating 80-yard touchdown march in just 23 seconds. As the crowd erupted, and the faint few wondered from the parking lots what they were missing, Coach O’Brien toyed with the idea of going for a two-point conversion. But he eschewed the risk and sent out Steady Sam to tie the game with his extra-point kick. Ironically, the Lions nearly left too much time on the clock, as Michigan got a 34-yard kickoff return by Dennis Norfleet, and QB Devin Gardiner passed 25 yards to Jeremy Gallon then five yards to Justice Hayes, before Brandon Gibbons attempted a long 52-yard field goal that fell short with just two seconds left. Thus ensued the fourth overtime game in Beaver Stadium history. Michigan won the toss and chose to play defense first. Penn State chose to play at the south end of the stadium in front of the raucous student section. Unable to get a first down after starting from the UM-25, State’s Kickin’ Ficken attempted a 40-yard field goal that sailed barely wide right, and Penn State hearts sank. But the Lion defense rose up to smite the Wolverines on three rushes, and Kyle Baublitz made the play of his young career by reaching up and blocking Gibbons attempt at a 40-yard field goal. The field of play moved to the north end zone for the second overtime, and Michigan had to go first. The Wolverine offense got as far as the PS- 16, before the visitors had to settle for Gibbons 25-yard field goal. Ficken countered four plays later with a 36-yarder. Back to the south end, where PSU had the ball first, but Robinson could not control a bad exchange from Hackenberg on an attempted reverse, and Michigan recovered the fumble. It looked like the visitors were going to walk out of Beaver Stadium victorious, when Gibbons lined up for a 33-yard attempt four plays later. But his boot barely missed wide left. In the fourth overtime—one longer than Penn State needed to beat Florida State in the 2005 Orange Bowl, when all-time leading scorer Kevin Kelly kicked the game-winner in the third OT—State’s defense stymied the Wolverines, so Gibbons knocked a 40-yarder through the uprights. In their last turn before the north end zone crowd, the Lions turned to tailback Bill Belton. Three Belton runs netted nine yards. At that point Coach O’Brien decided “someone needed to win this game.” Instead of counting on Ficken’s foot to force a fifth frame, O’Brien gambled and called a fourth straight running play by Belton through the right side. The offensive line did its job, fullback Pat Zerbe nailed his lead block and Belton slipped through for three yards and a first down. After another Belton rush gained two, Hackenberg fired a pass at Robinson in the end zone. A Michigan defender was called for pass interference and State got the ball at the two-yard line. O’Brien immediately called another Belton run to the left side, and the scatback bounced it to the outside, outflanking the Michigan defense for the touchdown and the crowd went W-I-L-D. The team that suffered a disappointing loss at Indiana and slipped to a 3–2 record last week regained its pride, before getting a week off and then traveling to Columbus for a shot at conference-leading undefeated No. 3 Ohio State. “Winning, like salt water, cures a lot of ills,” O’Brien concluded.

NFL Draft 2017 Scouting Report: QB Kyle Sloter, No. Colorado *Our QB grades can and will change as more information comes in from Pro Day workouts, leaked Wonderlic test results, etc. We will update ratings as new info becomes available. I don't make many scouting reports 'free view', but this is a unique case and I'm doing a series of background articles and reports on this player, so this particular scouting report is open for all to consider. It's also a little different than our normal scouting reports, so for more evidence of our work check out the free samples on our home page. Considering new readers to this, I need to begin by putting a lot of my cards on the table… It's a strange and magical tale that has unfolded with Kyle Sloter's college career. I'm going to attempt to convince you that Kyle Sloter is one of the five best QB prospects in the 2017 NFL Draft. Quite frankly, I think we could have been arguing for him as the top prospect had things turned out differently early in his bizarre college career (more detail on that in a moment). I do believe he has that kind of talent. Few in the football business will agree with that last statement…or would even allow it to be entertained for discussion, but I hope you'll hear my story and decide for yourself.

  • The Following Players Comprise the College Football Great Teams 2 Card Set
    COLLEGE FOOTBALL GREAT TEAMS OF THE PAST 2 SET ROSTER The following players comprise the College Football Great Teams 2 Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards. 1971 NEBRASKA 1971 NEBRASKA 1972 USC 1972 USC OFFENSE DEFENSE OFFENSE DEFENSE EB: Woody Cox End: John Adkins EB: Lynn Swann TA End: James Sims Johnny Rodgers (2) TA TB, OA Willie Harper Edesel Garrison Dale Mitchell Frosty Anderson Steve Manstedt John McKay Ed Powell Glen Garson TC John Hyland Dave Boulware (2) PA, KB, KOB Tackle: John Grant Tackle: Carl Johnson Tackle: Bill Janssen Chris Chaney Jeff Winans Daryl White Larry Jacobson Tackle: Steve Riley John Skiles Marvin Crenshaw John Dutton Pete Adams Glenn Byrd Al Austin LB: Jim Branch Cliff Culbreath LB: Richard Wood Guard: Keith Wortman Rich Glover Guard: Mike Ryan Monte Doris Dick Rupert Bob Terrio Allan Graf Charles Anthony Mike Beran Bruce Hauge Allan Gallaher Glen Henderson Bruce Weber Monte Johnson Booker Brown George Follett Center: Doug Dumler Pat Morell Don Morrison Ray Rodriguez John Kinsel John Peterson Mike McGirr Jim Stone ET: Jerry List CB: Jim Anderson TC Center: Dave Brown Tom Bohlinger Brent Longwell PC Joe Blahak Marty Patton CB: Charles Hinton TB.

  • Beaver Stadium
    Beaver Stadium Beaver Stadium, home to the Penn State Nittany Lions football team was built in 1960. The stadium has been expanded many times since its opening and has a current capacity of 106,572, making it the second largest football stadium in the country and third largest stadium in the world. Penn State football began play in 1887 and has a rich history of success over the years. The program is among the top teams in terms of all time wins as well as winning percentage. Penn State played as an independent for many years before joining the Big 10 in 1990. Penn State played its first Big 10 football game in 1993. There have been many greats who have played at Penn State before continuing their football careers in the NFL. Needless to say, a Saturday game here is time well spent. A white out night game is a must see for any college football fan. Seating Stadium sections are broken down by directions. For example, section SB would be the South Side section B. You might be in section WCU, which is West Side, Section C, Upper Deck. The U means you will be above the catwalk. The seats numbers sometimes confuse people. As you walk up the steps in the sections, the odd numbered seats will be on one side of the steps and the even number will be on the other side of the steps. The seating is bench style seating in most of the sections. If you have tickets on a bench that has a lot of people, it could get extremely tight if the stadium is full.

  • What the Broncos' 2014 Offseason Spending Spree Can Tell Us About
    What the Broncos’ 2014 offseason spending spree can tell us about 2018 By Nicki Jhabvala Denver Post Feb. 21, 2018 This story always begins with a plane ride, because that was when the message was fully received. DeMarcus Ware, en route to Colorado to discuss the possibility of becoming a Bronco in March 2014, looked behind him and saw cornerback Aqib Talib sitting a few rows back. Both were bound for Dove Valley, both would sign on a dotted line and both would later be introduced as the newest members of the Broncos’ remade defense. The moment, 30,000 feet in the air, is when Ware knew what was happening. He could see John Elway’s vision for the Broncos after their embarrassing Super Bowl XLVIII loss to Seattle. “Just their mentality is a ‘now’ mentality. A mentality of, ‘I’m not looking forward to the next season or the season after that — the time is now,’ ” Ware told a crowd of reporters on his first day as a Bronco. “So when I looked back there in that back seat and I see Talib, I’m like, ‘You know what? They’re trying to get the job done.’ ” Those two joined free-agent safety T.J. Ward, as well as Emmanuel Sanders, a former Pittsburgh Steeler wide receiver who would sign days later to be Denver’s No. 2 receiver in the wake of Eric Decker’s departure. The payout of nearly $125 million in veteran talent happened in the span of about five days, ensuring the Broncos were the talk of the offseason as Elway opened their checkbook and gave Peyton Manning a defense that would soon match their prolific offense.

  • NFL Draft 2014 Scouting Report: WR Allen Robinson, Penn State
    2014 NFL DRAFT SCOUTING REPORT MARCH 12, 2014 NFL Draft 2014 Scouting Report: WR Allen Robinson, Penn State *WR grades can and will change as more information comes in from Pro Day workouts, Wonderlic test results leaked, etc. We will update ratings as new info becomes available. *WR-B stands for "Big-WR," a classification we use to separate the more physical, downfield/over-the- top, heavy-red-zone-threat-type WRs. Our WR-S/"Small-WRs" are profiled by our computer more as slot and/or possession-type WRs who are less typically physical and rely more on speed/agility to operate underneath the defense and/or use big speed to get open deep...they are not used as weapons in the red zone as much. Allen Robinson is a little hard to describe. It's one of those "you know it when you see it situations." He's just a very good WR, and you know it within watching a few minutes of tape. My first reaction to watching him is calling him a "better James Jones." What I mean by that is: Robinson is not a #1 WR. He looks like a much better #2 WR for the NFL. For about $20M+ less than Golden Tate, Detroit could have paired Robinson with Calvin and had something wild. Robinson is 6'2.5" and 220-pounds, but plays like a Keenan Allen or Antonio Brown, shorter-speedier type of WR...guys who line up all over, and catch a lot of slants, bubble screens, and then suck you with a double move and scorch you deep.
