Brush off the dust - college football is officially back.

Baseball season is off and running(big series tonight), two sports are in the middle of their playoffs, and the NFL draft kicks off tomorrow. But with the warming temperatures this weekend comes the kick off to the only sport that matters; college football in Happy Valley. Get fired up!

I'm on the road to State College for Penn State's Blue-White weekend as I type. The game brings the official spring practice season to an end, but not without first answering some of our questions. What questions, you might be wondering? Please, read on.

  • Who is Daryl Clark throwing to? With the departure of the best 1-2-3 punch of receivers PSU has ever seen, "potential" is the best way to describe Clark's new targets.

  • Who wins the fight in the trenches? Both the D-line and O-line have replacements to make due to a graduating class of studly dudes. My concern lies (as always) with the O-line. I have faith that Coach Larry Johnson will be able to once again re-load for this year.

  • MIA: Penn State's secondary - Who's stepping up to the plate? Also hit by graduation, this is the defense's (and perhaps the team's) weakest link. I still have nightmares about the Rose Bowl implosion, so most of my concern lies here.

  • Will Jay Paterno be tweeting from the coaches' box? Clearly the most important question of the day.

    I'm keeping this short but sweet for now; expect more after the weekend. This blog has been slow due to other updates but expect things to pick up here in the coming weeks.
