Penn State has a little bit of everything this season. Quarterback competition still up in the air just days away from the season opener? Check. Rising star at running back? Check.

Ahh, the Big Ten. With 12 teams. And Legends and Leaders. And the Cy Hawk Trophy. Yes, the Big Ten can be a punching bag nationally but they say sticks and stones may break your bones, but names will never hurt you. That is exactly what the Big Ten should be thinking because the addition […]

All this week we here at Crystal Ball Run have been discussing some of our favorites in college football. Michael Felder wrote about why he loves South Carolina Gamecocks quarterback Stephen Garcia and Tom Perry shared some thoughts on former West Virginia quarterback Major Harris, and as a long time follower of Penn State I found myself […]
