First recruiting class of the post-Paterno era arrives at Penn State
A tumultuous recruiting season that featured a high-profile coaching change and some big de-commitments made the recruiting process somewhat unusual for typically button-down-and-organized Penn State.

Also unusual was the result—a class that ranks pretty low nationally.

Rough second half dooms Penn State upset bid
Tim Frazier scored 21 points and Penn State jumped out to an early nine-point lead, but the Nittany Lions made just 7 of their final 26 shots--including a 1-13 stretch to open the second half--and fell to No. 20 Wisconsin 52-46 at the Bryce Jordan Center in University Park Tuesday night.

It Was More Than a Game
I remember the very first time I covered a Penn State football game. I remember the rickety, pre-antebellum-esque pressbox. I remember the reporters pushing me out of the way as I gazed at new territory.

I remember the packed house, the atmosphere defined by the crowd’s roar; every down. For the entire 60 minutes.
