I love when Joe Paterno says he doesn't want to talk about something, then goes on for 10 minutes about how he doesn't know anything about anything. Q. Your team has had slow starts in its three road games. Is there any explanation for that and is it at all a concern? Well, yeah, I have a ...

Joe Paterno has morphed over the last few seasons, from a coach that used to micromanage nearly every working part of his team, to one that delegates control to his coaching staff. Overall, it's worked very well. But there's one part of this team on which Paterno still rests an acutely ...

What should be the biggest story this week -- USC is falling apart at the seams -- has gotten only a sniff by the main stream media. For years, all we heard was how this was the greatest college football program in the history of the sport. But Troy has fallen, and no one seems to care. I give ...

For the third week in a row, Penn State's offense came out flat. So, tied at 10 entering the second half, the Nittany Lions' defense, which had played valiantly despite working against a minus-four turnover margin, took matters into its own hands. Junior linebacker Navorro Bowman intercepted a ...
