http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/30769 Recent articles about Abe Koroma en-us AP says Penn State is ranked #9. The ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll has them at #8. The Collegian DT Abe Koroma, suspended for the season by coach Joe Paterno, has left the Nittany Lions and will pay at Western Illinois. I'm not surprised. Patriot-NewsQB Daryll Clark has been told adjust his game due to concussions, depth chart. Paterno says he needs to run out of bounds more like Michael Robinson in 2005 and Franco Harris always.

But a funny thing happened between then and now. Phil Taylor and Chris Baker were dismissed from the team. Maurice Evans and Aaron Maybin decided to go pro early. Josh Gaines had the audacity to graduate. And JoePa decided to th...

Defensive Tackles Projected Need: 2 Verbal Commits: None In the last two recruiting classes Penn State has brought in two defensive tackles: Brandon Ware and Jordan Hill. Jared Odrick runs out of eligibility this year, and Tom McEowen, Abe Koroma, and Ollie Ogbu aren't far behind. So Penn State really needs to bring in two def...

But first, let me point out a few things about the game. Offense...• Daryll Clark and Evan Royster could very well carry the team this year. While Royster only logged three carries, they amounted to 21 yards. He looked fluid, as usual, and shouldn't have a problem with the Rose Bowl injury. Clark was sharp, real sharp, going 10 for 13 on the day. This is the best qua...

He didn't want to talk about Maurice Evans or Abe Koroma, and fine, who cares? If we see them play, we see them play. I'm sure they'll dress, and the student section will call for them a few times. But doesn't anyone realize that Penn State has been tearing up opposing lines to the tune of 14 sacks, six of which came from Aaron Maybin alone? Oh yeah, and that little thing about Navorro Bowman being named Big Ten Co-Defensive POW? J...

This is fantastic news for Penn State's beleaguered defensive line. From Scout.com: "Yeah, both Mo and Abe were back today," one observer said.

Mike over at Black Shoe Diaries, and Adam Rittenberg at ESPN have some of their initial thoughts up, but like the rest of us, are reserving judgment until the real decision gets made--Joe Paterno's punishments. This has the potential to fizzle by the Illinois game, or explode like an atom bomb. ...

In what has become a horde of Nittany Lions players running afoul of the law, the school announced an immediate stadium renovation.

Lord only knows how much of this will effect the team the rest of the season. Of course, I heard about it on ESPN, so I'm sure Brad Nessler & Co. will talk more about this than the actual game.
