STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) – Analyzing and rehashing offensive line play at Penn State is a time-honored tradition, as much a part of autumn Saturdays in Happy Valley as tailgating and raking leaves.
The spotlight will fall squarely on the Nittany Lions’ front five again when the season kicks off Saturday against Indiana State, an FCS school.
Three starters return from last year’s front five which effectively protected the quarterback but struggled at times in the run game. But coach Joe Paterno must replace perhaps the biggest loss on offense in standout right guard Stefen Wisniewski, who is now with the Oakland Raiders.
Paterno said he’s fine so far with his projected starting five, though he remains concerned about developing competent backups.
