Blue White Game and Other Signs of Spring

The cherry blossoms are out, my allergies are going bonkers, my car is covered in a blanket of green pollen, and the sounds of Penn State Football are in the air. The annual Blue White Scrimmage is only 2 weeks away and I'm excited to see what the Nittany Lions have to offer this year on offense and defense. How will they replace a great QB like Darryl Clark or a leader like Sean Lee, or a hitter like Navarro Bowman? Not sure who will step up, but one thing for sure is that Evan Royster and Stephon Green should have a great year as 2 of college football's best running backs. Hopefully the front line will be more settled in and these 2 stars will finally shine again. I would love to see each of them go over 1000 yards rushing. One last question to answer : Will we see Joe Paterno roaming the sidelines this fall without the "coke bottle glasses" that seem to be his fashion trademark? One thing is for sure, it will be a fun year in Happy Valley! I also look forward to November when the Lions will come to my neck of the woods and play Indiana at Fed Ex Field in Landover, MD. Happy Spring Everyone!
