NCAA INSTANT REPLAY➤ The Objective

The NCAA has established the following list of plays that are reviewable by the collegiate instant replay sys-tem.

➤ The StandardThere must be indisputable video evidence for an

officiating call to be changed by a Technical Advisorworking from the press box. The replay system will not guaranteethatallofficiatingmistakesarecorrected.

➤ The SourceAll reviewable video will come direct from the tele-

vision network broadcasting the game and no other source. The review process will be limited to what is shown on television.

➤ ReviewableThe following plays are subject to review under instant replay.1. Plays governed by a Sideline, Goal Line, or an End Line: a. Scoring plays, including a runner in possession breaking the plane of the goal line. b. Pass ruled complete, incomplete or intercepted at a sideline, goal line or end line. c. A runner or pass receiver ruled in or out of bounds. d. Recoveryofalooseballinoroutofboundsinthefieldorendzone.

2. Passing Plays: a. Passruledcomplete,incompleteorinterceptedanywhereinthefieldorendzone. b. Forward pass touched by an ineligible receiver. c. Forward pass touched by a defensive player. d. Fumble ruled on the part of a potential passer. (Note: If the ruling is forward pass and the pass is incomplete, the play is not reviewable). e. Forward pass/handing ruled when a runner is beyond the line of scrimmage. f. Forward pass/handing ruled after a change of possession. g. Pass ruled forward or backward when thrown from behind the line of scrimmage. (Exception: If pass is ruled forward and is incomplete, the play is not reviewable).

3. Other Detectable Infractions: a. Runner ruled to have fumbled. (If runner is ruled down, the play is not reviewable). b. Runner’sforwardprogresswithrespecttoafirstdown. c. Touching of any type of kick by any player. d. Number of players participating by either team during a live ball. e. Scrimmage kicker beyond the line of scrimmage when the ball is kicked. f. Clockadjustmentwhenarulingonthefieldisreversed. g. Fumble recovery on fourth down or a PAT and before change of possession.

➤ Not ReviewableEXAMPLES: 1. Holding 2. Off-sides 3. Pass interference 4. Personal fouls (late hits) 5. Illegal blocks 6. Illegal formations 7. Face mask 8. Taunting/excessive celebration 9. False starts 10. Roughing passer/kicker 11. Fighting participants

➤ Instant Replay Q&AQ. How does the coaches’ challenge system work?A. Head coaches may utilize a timeout to request a review of a play no more than once per game. A coach initiates the challenge by taking a timeoutbeforetheballisinplayandinformingtheofficialthattherulingon the previous play is being challenged. If the ruling is overturned, the timeout will be returned to the team. If the ruling is not overturned, the team will lose the timeout. A team must have a timeout in order to chal-lenge a play and a coach can only challenge one play per game. Head coaches may not challenge a ruling in which the game was stopped by the Technical Advisor and a decision already has been made on that specificruling.Ifaheadcoachrequestsatimeouttochallengearulingand the play is not reviewable, the team loses the timeout. The Techni-cal Advisor will continue to examine all reviewable plays.Q. Is the NCAA instant replay model the same as the NFL?A. In the collegiate model, reviews are conducted by a Technical Advi-sor in the press box and may occur at any point of the game. In the NFL, thereplayboothmayonlystopagameinthefinaltwominutesofahalf.Also in the NFL, head coaches are allowed to challenge two plays per game. The NCAA model allows head coaches to challenge one ruling per game by using a timeout.

Q. Which games have instant replay?A. The NCAA does not require the use of the system. For non-confer-ence games, the home team makes the decision to utilize instant replay — the visiting team does not have the option of declining.

PLAYER BIOSPENN STATE FOOTBALL 2013


56ANTHONYALOSI6-4 ➤ 280 ➤ Jr./So. Eligible

Guard/Tackle ➤ Marlton, N.J.

The Nittany Lions must replace two senior starters on the offensive line from last season and Anthony Alosi is looking forward to the competition entering fall camp. Alosi has worked at guard and tackle and is working hard to crack the rotation. He likely will battle Angelo Mangiro for the top reserve spot at right guard behind 2012 first-team All-Big Ten selection John Urschel. A standout of-fensive tackle at New Jersey’s Cherokee High School and The Hun School, Alosi played defensive tackle as a member of the scout team during his redshirt season, but returned to the offensive line in 2012. Alosi is one of the squad’s most active members in community service. He is among the student-athletes who have participated in the Penn State Athletes Take Action anti-bullying program in a local middle school created by former Lady Lion basketball player Gizelle Studevent. Alosi earned a grade-point average above 3.0 during the spring semester. He is among eight returnees from New Jersey and joins redshirt freshman center Wendy Laurent as current Nittany Lions who played at The Hun School.

➤ 2012 ➤ Sophomore Season

Alosi moved from defensive tackle to the offensive line. He was a member of the Dirty Show (scout team) and improved, but did not see any playing time.

➤ 2011 ➤ Freshman Season

Redshirt season. Alosi enrolled at Penn State in January 2011.

➤ High School

Alosi was a two-way lineman and captain of The Hun School’s state championship squad in 2010, playing for Coach Dave Dudeck. Alosi was named first-team All-South Jersey during his senior season at Cherokee High School. He recorded 39 tackles, three sacks and 12 tackles for loss as a senior defensive lineman. On offense, he recorded 30 pancake blocks, while leading the way for a rushing attack which gained more than 2,000 yards over the team’s eight-game schedule.

➤ Personal

Full name is Anthony Alosi. He is the son of Peter and Sheryl Alosi. He has two brothers, Nick and Mike, and one sister, Gia. In his free time, Alosi likes to fish and ride ATVs. Alosi is studying criminol-ogy. Born September 30, 1992 in Voorhees, N.J.

4ADRIANAMOS6-0 ➤ 211 ➤ Jr./Jr. Eligible

Safety ➤ Baltimore, Md.

Entering the 2013 campaign, Bill O’Brien has stated on numerous occasions that he has been pleased with the leadership he sees coming from a wide variety of players, not just the senior class. A player to be counted on in the leadership group is junior defensive back Adrian Amos, a probable All-Big Ten candidate. While the 2012 season was his first as a starter, Amos enters the season as one of the veterans in the secondary and on defense. A 2013 third-team preseason All-Big Ten selection by Phil Steele’s College Football Preview, Amos earned honorable-mention All-Big Ten from the coaches and media last year after recording 44 tackles, two interceptions and 2.5 tackles for loss. The vastly talented and hard-hitting Amos started every game at cornerback in 2012, but spent the bulk of the most recent spring practice at strong safety. He brings outstanding athleticism, skills, work-ethic and instincts to the field and weight room. Amos’ commitment in the strength and conditioning program has seen him maintain his approximate playing weight from last year, while im-proving his speed and strength.

With the graduation of Pete Massaro and Sean Stanley, one starting position opposite Deion Barnes and other spots in the rotation will be up for grabs. One of the squad’s premier stu-dents, Bars’ work habits in the strength and conditioning program have helped him add 15 pounds since the summer of 2012 and a total of 30 pounds since he arrived three years ago. The talented and relentless player is able to create opportunities for his teammates to make plays by being physi-cal at the point of attack. The former Montgomery Bell Academy standout made fans at the 2013 Blue-White game take notice of his play by recording two sacks and three solo tackles.

Defensive Tackle ➤ York, Pa.

Kyle Baublitz was among the group of Nittany Lions who teammates said made significant strides during spring practice. Playing on a unit that must replace the graduated Jordan Hill and James Terry, Baublitz should be in contention for substantial playing time on the interior defensive line. A redshirt junior, Baublitz and senior DaQuan Jones are the squad’s only tackles with any game experience on defense.

1BILLBELTON5-10 ➤ 205 ➤ Jr./Jr. Eligible

Running Back ➤ Sicklerville, N.J.

Running back Bill Belton joined an exclusive list last October when he cracked the century mark for the first time in his career, gaining 103 yards and scoring his first three career touchdowns to help Penn State belt the Iowa Hawkeyes in Iowa City. Of the more than 1,000 Nittany Lions who have earned at least one letter as a member of the football team, Belton became just the 86th all-time to rush for 100 yards in a game. A former wide receiver, Belton started five games last season, and was third on the team with 263 rushing yards on 60 attempts. Due to injuries and the emergence of Zach Zwinak during the second half of last season, Belton did not see as many carries down the stretch. The athletic, swift and instinctive player, though, responded during winter conditioning and spring drills with an effort lauded by Coach Bill O’Brien. Belton’s efforts in the weight room and off-season conditioning have improved his speed and strength, while adding nearly 10 pounds since the summer of 2012. His 35-inch vertical jump was third-best on the squad through the spring. One of the most elusive and talented playmakers on the squad, Belton, Zwinak and freshman Akeel Lynch give Penn State a trio of highly-skilled options in the backfield. A former All-South Jersey standout at Winslow Township High School, Belton also has demonstrated he can be productive in the passing game and returning kicks. He is among eight returning Nittany Lions from New Jersey.


Belton appeared in eight games with five starts at running back. He was third on the team with 263 rushing yards on 60 attempts (4.4) and had three rushing touchdowns. Belton made nine catches for 50 yards and one score and returned nine kickoffs for a 15.6-yard average. He was tied for third on the team with 453 all-purpose yards. Belton made his first career start in the season-opener with Ohio and led the team with 53 rushing yards on 13 carries. But, he suffered a sprained ankle against the Bobcats and missed the next three games. He started at tailback in the 35-7 Big Ten-opening win at Illinois and set then-career-highs with 65 yards on 16 carries. Belton gave Penn State a 100-yard rusher in each of the first three Big Ten games by gaining a career-high 103 yards on 16 carries (6.4) and scoring his first three career rushing touchdowns in the 38-14 prime time win at Iowa. He had a season-long 23-yard burst and touchdown runs of 11, 3 and 5 yards against the Hawkeyes. Belton became the 86th Nittany Lion all-time to rush for at least 100 yards in a game.


Belton was a key component in the successful “Wildcat” formation that the Nittany Lions unveiled late in the season, gaining 65 yards on 13 carries in eight games. He gained 15 yards on four at-tempts in the big 20-14 win at Ohio State. At Wisconsin, Belton carried the ball three times, collecting 12 yards. He delivered the best game of his freshman season against Houston in the TicketCity Bowl, setting season-highs in rushing yards (38) and attempts (6). Belton made his collegiate debut in the victory at Temple and returned his first kickoff for 15 yards against Eastern Michigan. One of four true freshmen to earn playing time, Belton logged a total of 71 plays, led by 17 against Houston and 14 at Wisconsin.

➤ High School

Belton was named first-team all-state, all-group and All-South Jersey at Winslow Township High School, playing for Coach Mike McBride. He was honored as the Courier-Post Player-of-the-Year and Rivals.com rated him the No. 13 athlete in the nation. Belton became the first New Jersey prep quarterback to post consecutive seasons of 2,000 yards passing and 1,000 yards rushing. As a se-nior, he threw for 2,167 yards and 21 touchdowns, while rushing for 1,003 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Tight End ➤ Mechanicsburg, Pa.

Adam Breneman already had established his strong character, work-ethic and dedication to academics well before arriving on the University Park campus. Rated the nation’s No. 1 tight end by numerous media outlets out of Cedar Cliff High School, Breneman enrolled in the University in Janu-ary 2013 and immediately immersed himself in winter workouts, rehab and spring practice. His first semester on campus resulted in a grade-point average above 3.0, one of 13 newcomers to earn at least a 3.0 during the spring. Breneman’s 6-4 frame, ability to catch the football, speed and strength should enable him to contribute right away in Coach Bill O’Brien’s up-tempo and diversified offense. He was held out of contact sessions during spring practice due to a knee injury suffered during the summer of 2012 that prevented him from playing his senior season. But, Breneman has excelled during his rehab and should be 100 percent in time for training camp and ready to join the Nittany Lions’ talented and deep tight end corps. During his senior campaign, Breneman created “Catch The Cure” to support Project A.L.S. research and assist family friend Tom Kirchoff, who is battling the neurodegenerative disease. With support from family, friends, the Cedar Cliff and Penn State communities, “Catch The Cure” had raised nearly $200,000 for Project A.L.S. by this past spring. For his efforts, Breneman and another youth were selected the winners of The Prudential Spirit of Community Award for 2013 in Pennsylvania. He earned a trip to Washington, D.C., with the other winners from across the nation in early May. Later that month, Breneman was honored at Cedar Cliff’s annual awards night for his Prudential Spirit of Community honor and also was presented with the Humanitarian Award by the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors. Having been on campus less than one month, Breneman was elected an officer — fundraising chairman — of Penn State’s Uplifting Athletes chapter. He was heavily involved in preparations for the Penn State Lift For Life in July to benefit the Kidney Cancer Association, with the event having raised more than $700,000 since 2003. Breneman is wearing No. 81, the same number worn by another former Cedar Cliff standout, Kyle Brady, who was a first-team All-America tight end at Penn State in 1994 before embarking on a lengthy NFL career.

➤ High School

Breneman was an outstanding student-athlete at Cedar Cliff High School, earning All-America hon-ors on the gridiron and a 3.9 grade-point average. Playing for Coach Jim Cantafio, Breneman made a combined 132 receptions for 1,988 yards and 20 touchdowns during his sophomore and junior seasons. A three-year letterman, he made 72 receptions for 1,120 yards and 12 touchdowns as a junior. He suffered a knee injury during the summer prior to his senior season and did not play, but was a team captain and was invited to the Under Armour All-American game. After his junior season, Breneman attained first-team All-America and all-state honors. He was ranked the top prep tight end in the nation by ESPN.com, the No. 2 tight end by Scout.com and 24/7Sports.com and No. 3 by Rivals.com. During his sophomore season, Breneman recorded 60 catches for 868 yards and eight touchdowns after making 13 catches for 265 yards and three scores as a freshman. Breneman graduated with a 3.90 GPA and was a member of the National Honor Society and the Distinguished Honor Roll at Cedar Cliff. He was ranked as one of the 75 top prospects in the nation, regardless of position, by ESPN.com and 24/7Sports.com.

45ALEXBUTTERWORTH5-10 ➤ 206 ➤ Sr./Sr. Eligible

Punter ➤ Indianapolis, Ind.

Alex Butterworth was the only Nittany Lion to punt the ball last year and was a key factor in helping the nationally-ranked defense, and changing the field position. Butterworth dropped 19 kicks inside the 20-yard line and had only two touchbacks in 2012, forcing the opposition to start a multitude of drives deep in their own territory. Coach Bill O’Brien has stated he is looking for more consistency throughout the special teams this season. Butterworth averaged 37.4 yards on his 51 punts last year, delivering five punts of 50 yards or more, topped by a 58-yard effort against Ohio State. He made good strides during his first full season as the Nittany Lions’ punter and is working hard to continue providing consistent productivity during his senior campaign. Butterworth was rec-ognized as the special teams’ top achiever during winter conditioning. The former all-state kicker at Heritage Christian School in Indianapolis had the chance to play in front of many family and friends at Purdue last year and will have a similar opportunity when Penn State visits Indiana for the Big Ten-opener. Butterworth is on schedule to graduate next spring.


Butterworth handled all the punting duties, averaging 37.4 yards on his 51 punts, with 19 kicks inside the 20-yard line and only two touchbacks. He delivered five punts of 50 yards or more, topped by a career-long 58-yard effort against Ohio State. Butterworth placed three of his five punts inside the 20 against Ohio and had a then-season-long 52-yard boot and a 41.7-yard average on three kicks at Virginia. He punted three times for a 43.3-yard average in the 35-7 win at Illinois. Butterworth dropped three of his five punts inside the 20 in the comeback victory over No. 24 Northwestern and delivered a then-season-long 54-yard effort. Against Ohio State, he dropped 4-of-5 punts inside the 20 and averaged 41.2 yards per punt, including a career-long 58-yard effort. Butterworth delivered his best overall effort of the season at No. 18 Nebraska, with three punts for a 47.7 average. He had a long kick of 56 yards and dropped one punt inside the 20. He punted five times in the win over Indiana, with a long of 52 yards and one kick inside the 20.


Butterworth saw action in three games, punting eight times for a 38.5-yard average. In the season-opener with Indiana State, he placed two kicks inside the 20-yard line. Butterworth split punting duties with Anthony Fera against Alabama, averaging nearly 40 yards per kick, with a long of 45. He also saw action in the win at Northwestern, averaging 38 yards on two punts, with one kick good for 54 yards and landing inside the 20.


Butterworth was pressed into punting duties for the final three games of the season after Anthony Fera underwent an appendectomy three days prior to the Indiana game. One of seven true freshmen to play in 2010, Butterworth punted 12 times for a 38.1-yard average, with three kicks inside the 20 and three fair catches. He made his Penn State debut in the win over the Hoosiers, punting twice for a 41.0-yard average, with one punt downed inside the Indiana 15-yard line. He punted six times for a 34.5 average against Michigan State, with one kick landing inside the 20. Butterworth punted four times for a 42.0 average against Florida in the Outback Bowl, with a season-best 50-yard effort.

➤ High School

Butterworth was selected the 2009 Associated Press first-team all-state kicker, playing for Coach Ron Qualls at Heritage Christian School in Indianapolis. He was named the Indianapolis Star Mr. Football Kicking Specialist for Indiana in 2009 and was the first-team all-city kicker as a sophomore, junior and senior. He was 7-of-10 on field goal attempts as a senior, with no misses under 50 yards. His longest field goal was 52 yards.

Linebacker ➤ Manahawkin, N.J.

With the graduation of a stellar senior class after last season, Bill O’Brien entered last winter looking to see who would rise as new leaders for the team. Despite losing two veterans in the middle of the defense in Michael Mauti and Gerald Hodges, he didn’t have to look too far to find a leader for the defense in the form of middle linebacker Glenn Carson, the team’s most experienced player heading into 2013. Following a superb off-season in the weight room and a strong spring practice session, the athletic, talented and tough Carson heads into his senior season primed to anchor the Penn State defense. An All-Big Ten and probable Butkus Award candidate, he started every game last year and his 24 career starts are the most of any player that will don the blue and white this season. The former Southern Regional High School all-state performer was third on the team with 85 tackles in 2012, and he will again be counted on to be a consistently productive force in the heart of the defense. A no-nonsense, intense and physical “Linebacker U.” standout, Carson played an instrumental role on a Nittany Lion defense that ranked second in the Big Ten and No. 16 nationally in scoring defense at 19.1 ppg, holding six teams to 17 or fewer points in 2012. A two-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree, the hard-nosed Carson graduated in May 2013 with a 3.19 grade-point average in advertising/public relations. He compiled a 3.67 GPA during the spring semester and is working on a second degree, in labor and employment relations. He was an intern with the State College Spikes minor league baseball team this past summer. Carson is among eight returnees from New Jersey.


Carson started all 12 games at middle linebacker and played an instrumental role for a defense that ranked second in the Big Ten and No. 16 nationally in scoring defense at 19.1 ppg, limiting six teams to 17 or fewer points. He was third on the team with 85 tackles, recording 3.0 tackles for loss, one sack and three pass breakups. He made nine tackles (six solo), including a sack, against Ohio. Carson made nine stops and had a pass breakup in the 35-7 win at Illinois and had five hits in the comeback victory over No. 24 Northwestern. He made four stops (three solo) in the 38-14 win at Iowa, four hits against Ohio State and four tackles and one pass breakup in the 34-9 win at Purdue. In a tight contest at No. 18 Nebraska, Carson recorded a career-best 14 tackles, tied for the team season-high, including 1.0 TFL. He registered seven stops in the 45-22 win over Indiana. Carson delivered a game-high 13 hits (9 solo) with a pass breakup in the 24-21 overtime win over Wisconsin on Senior Day. Carson was an Academic All-Big Ten selection for the second time.


Carson grabbed hold of the starting assignment at middle linebacker and made 12 starts, playing in every game. He was fourth on the squad with 74 total tackles, forced two fumbles and made one fumble recovery. In his second start, he delivered a career-high 11 tackles against No. 2 Alabama, nearly doubling his previous high of six against Indiana in 2010. Carson forced his first career fumble in the big 20-14 win at Ohio State and made his first career fumble recovery and five tackles against Eastern Michigan. He recorded seven tackles at Indiana and six in the victory over Iowa. Carson made seven stops against Purdue and five in the 10-7 Leaders Division win over Illinois, including one tackle for loss. Carson recorded eight tackles against Nebraska and led the team and tied his career-high with 11 stops in the critical division win at Ohio State. In the regular-season finale at Wisconsin, Carson posted eight tackles and a forced fumble. He was on the field for 617 snaps, with highs of 75 against Nebraska and 72 at Wisconsin. Carson earned Academic All-Big Ten honors for the first time.


Carson enrolled as a full-time student in January 2010. He was shifted from linebacker to fullback just prior to preseason practice. He returned to linebacker after the Kent State game and was one of seven true freshmen to play, seeing action in every game. Carson made 12 tackles, with 0.5 tackles for loss. He recorded a season-high five hits against Illinois and made one stop at Minnesota, includ-ing 0.5 TFL. He also had one tackle at Ohio State and one hit against Michigan State. Carson made three solo stops against Florida in the Outback Bowl. He was on the field for 152 snaps, led by 24 at Iowa and 22 in the Outback Bowl.

➤ High School

A linebacker at Southern Regional High School, Carson helped the team to its first South Jersey Group IV title game. During his senior season under Coach Charles Donohue Sr., Carson was selected first-team all-state, Ocean County Player-of-the-Year, first-team All-South Jersey and first-team all-league. The four-star prospect tallied 98 tackles and broke the school record for career tackles. Also an outstanding wrestler, Carson was a three-time state finalist on the mat.

Tight End ➤ Bear, Del.

After watching just a little film of the Bill O’Brien-led New England Patriots offense, Kyle Carter knew that he was going to be in a great spot as a Nittany Lion tight end entering the 2012 season. Labeled by the head coach as the second-most difficult position to learn in the offense (behind quarterback), the tight end positions are paramount to the success of O’Brien’s diverse and fast-paced offensive attack. The vastly talented and athletic Carter tasted that first-hand during his initial season on the field in 2012, and he heads into the 2013 season planning to build on a superb redshirt freshman campaign. The only freshman named to the 2012 John Mackey Award Mid-Season Watch List, Carter was a consensus first-team Freshman All-American selection last year. A crisp route runner with good size, speed and hands, he was a first-team All-Big Ten pick by the media panel and ESPN.com. The all-conference candidate ranked second on the team with 36 receptions for 453 yards (12.6) and two touchdowns last season. The former William Penn High School standout was among the primary candidates for Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Year before miss-ing three of the last four games due to injuries. A strong and improving blocker with a good work-ethic, he will be 100 percent in time for training camp. Carter also is among the squad’s most active participants in community service. He owned a 3.11 cumulative grade-point average following the spring semester and earned Academic All-Big Ten honors last year. With continued progress, Carter is poised to continue playing a central role in the Penn State offense over the next three seasons.


In his first season on the field, Carter made a dynamic impact, gaining recognition among the pre-mier tight ends in the nation. He was a consensus first-team Freshman All-American, earning the honor from CBSsports.com, Sporting News, CollegeFootballNews.com, Fox Sports/Scout.com and Phil Steele’s College Football. Carter was a first-team All-Big Ten selection by the media and was the only freshman named to the 2012 John Mackey Award Mid-Season Watch List. Carter played in nine games, which included two starts. He was second on the team with 36 receptions for 453 yards (12.6) and two touchdowns. He made six catches of 20 yards or more, with a career-long 34-yard grab in the 38-14 prime time win at Iowa. In his Nittany Lion debut, Carter made six catches against Ohio and he had four catches at Virginia, including his first career touchdown on an 8-yard connection with Matt McGloin. Carter made five catches for 70 yards in the win over Temple and

hauled in three catches for 45 yards in the 35-7 victory at Illinois to open Big Ten play. He made four receptions for 44 yards in the 39-28 comeback decision over No. 24 Northwestern. Carter broke his career-high with 85 yards and tied his season-high with six catches, all in the first half, en route to Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Week accolades in the victory at Iowa. He made a superlative 34-yard catch and run to the Iowa 11-yard line to set up a first-quarter touchdown for a 14-0 lead. Carter made a game-high six receptions for 77 yards and a touchdown against Ohio State. He had a 20-yard touchdown catch and a 21-yard grab against the Buckeyes. After missing the Purdue game due to a sprained ankle suffered in the Ohio State game, Carter returned to the field at No. 18 Nebraska and made one catch for 12 yards before suffering the wrist injury that ended his year. He was named Academic All-Big Ten.

Bryan Davie’s path to becoming a Nittany Lion was not a typical one. An all-county player at Eleanor Roosevelt High School in suburban Washington, D.C., Davie enrolled at Penn State for the 2010 fall semester with no intention of playing football. But, after three semesters on campus, he got the itch to return to the gridiron and made the team during a Run-On tryout in January 2012. When Davie joined the squad, he carried approximately 350 pounds on his 6-3 frame, but his dedicated efforts in the weight room, conditioning and nutrition had brought his weight down to 284 pounds during spring practice. Davie likely will enter training camp looking to battle Angelo Mangiro for the top reserve spot at left guard behind returning starter Miles Dieffenbach. During the past decade, El-eanor Roosevelt High School also has produced Penn State defensive end Matt Rice, wide receiver Derrick Williams and 2012 starting cornerback Stephon Morris.

The Nittany Lions were in need of a reliable and productive option in the punt return game early last season. Jesse Della Valle had caught a few punts at practice and then fielded some punts before the Virginia game. His first career punt return resulted in a nondescript four-yard gain against the Cavaliers. But, the coaching staff liked what they saw and two games later Della Valle had three punt returns for 45 yards, including a team season-long 29-yard effort, in the win over Temple. The 29-yard return brought the ball into Temple territory and set up a first-quarter touchdown in the Nittany Lions’ 24-13 win.

77GARRYGILLIAM6-6 ➤ 305 ➤ Sr./Jr. Eligible

Tackle ➤ Carlisle, Pa.

One of the most charismatic members on the Nittany Lions’ roster, Garry Gilliam also is one of the squad’s most selfless and dedicated individuals. The 2012-13 academic year presented further opportunities and challenges for Gilliam and he enters the 2013 season at a new position and with an additional year of eligibility and leadership opportunities. He returned to the field in 2012 for the first time since suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament at Iowa in the 2010 Big Ten-opener. Playing tight end, the athletic and talented Gilliam was an effective and highly-motivated contributor for the team, whether he was catching passes, blocking for the running backs or protecting Matt McGloin during his record-setting campaign. But, with the tight end unit (83 catches in 2012) blessed with several talented returnees and newcomers, Coach Bill O’Brien and Gilliam discussed a possible move to tackle after last season, with 2012 right tackle Mike Farrell having graduated. Putting the team and its needs to be successful first, Gilliam embraced the move and the opportunity to be a substantial contributor for the offensive line. Having already exhibited his strong 6-6 frame last year, Gilliam’s work-ethic, passion and commitment during the winter strength and conditioning program and spring rose to the next level, as he added nearly 30 pounds by summer. It was in the midst of winter con-ditioning that Gilliam was notified the NCAA had approved a sixth year of eligibility due to his knee injury and subsequent infection that delayed his surgery and prevented him from playing in 2011. The decision gave Gilliam a year of eligibility in 2014, which will be critical for the O-Line, which will lose four potential senior starters after this season in Adam Gress, Ty Howle, Eric Shrive and John Urschel. Gilliam’s on-field progress was slowed in the spring, as he missed most of the sessions with a calf injury, but the physical and relentless player will be 100 percent for the start of training camp. The former Milton Hershey School All-American also is among the squad’s most active members in community service. Gilliam earned Dean’s List honors by compiling a 3.73 grade-point average during the spring semester and was named to the 2012 Academic All-Big Ten team. Gilliam has a double-major of advertising/public relations and management and brought a cumulative 3.18 GPA into the summer. He is on schedule to graduate in December.

➤ 2012 ➤ Senior Season

Gilliam played in every game, with eight starts at tight end, and made seven catches for 65 yards. He made a season-long 16-yard catch against Ohio State. He also had a 12-yard reception against Navy and 15-yard catch in the win over No. 24 Northwestern, both coming on the first play from scrimmage. Gilliam helped the Nittany Lions lead the Big Ten in total offense (437.0 ypg) in confer-ence games and rank second in scoring offense (32.6 ppg) and pass offense (283.1 ypg) against Big Ten foes. He was instrumental in helping Penn State gain more than 500 yards of total offense three times in conference play. Gilliam was named to the Academic All-Big Ten team.


Gilliam missed the season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee at Iowa in 2010. Gilliam’s surgery was delayed due to an infection in the knee and he was not able to return to the field in 2011.


With veteran Andrew Szczerba sidelined with a back injury, Gilliam got onto the field in the opener with Youngstown State and earned three starts during the first month of the season. He made his first career catch, good for 21 yards, in the win over Temple. But, the following week, in the Big Ten-opener at Iowa, Gilliam tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, ending his season. He made starts against Youngstown State, Alabama and Temple and played on 217 snaps during the initial five games, topped by 59 in the win over Temple and 50 against Youngstown State.

43MIKEHULL6-0 ➤ 226 ➤ Sr./Jr. Eligible

Linebacker ➤ Canonsburg, Pa.

“Mike (Hull) is one of the best football players on this team. He is a tough guy. He is a smart guy. He is a Pittsburgh guy. We cannot say enough about Mike Hull…He is a really valuable part of this football team.” — Bill O’Brien

Bill O’Brien’s comments following the Blue-White game concisely sum up his feelings about Mike Hull and the attributes the junior linebacker brings to the program. He has played in every game the past two seasons on defense and special teams, but his role has been transitioning into a much more significant one on and off the field since the start of this past winter’s conditioning program. With the departure of the latest tandem of “Linebacker U.” standouts in Michael Mauti and Gerald Hodges, Hull has been preparing to emerge as a significant contributor, a role foreshadowed ever since he was introduced to Penn State football. His father, Tom, also was a Nittany Lion linebacker, lettering from 1971-73 and helping Penn State to a 12-0 record as a senior. Having been born and raised in western Pennsylvania, Mike Hull is familiar with the litany of outstanding “Linebacker U.” products from greater Pittsburgh during the Big Ten era and their role in the team’s overall success. Late last season, he demonstrated he was ready when first-team All-American Mauti was injured in the first quarter against Indiana. Hull took the field and responded by recording a career-high 11 tackles, with one sack, 1.5 tackles for loss and a pass breakup in the win over the Hoosiers. Hull is an athletic, instinctive and physical playmaker who is likely to line up with senior Glenn Carson (MLB) and redshirt freshman Nyeem Wartman (OLB) in the latest edition of Penn State’s tremen-dous linebacker tradition. Following spring practice, Hull was named co-recipient of the Frank Pat-rick Total Commitment Award with guard Miles Dieffenbach. He was selected third-team preseason All-Big Ten by Phil Steele’s College Football Preview. A member of all four kickoff/punt units last year, Hull’s 58 tackles ranked sixth on the team and he was tied for third on the squad with 4.0 sacks. An All-American at Canon-McMillan High School, his work-ethic and dedication in the strength and conditioning program has seen him add nearly 15 pounds since the summer of 2012. Entering this past summer, the tough and strong Hull was the only non-lineman among the several Nittany Lions who had surpassed 400 pounds in the bench press. With his combination of skills, speed and intel-ligence, Hull is a potential All-Big Ten and Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-America® candidate. He owned a 3.46 grade-point average following the spring semester, is a two-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree and is on schedule to graduate in the spring.


Hull played in every game for the second straight season, making his first career start against Wis-consin. After senior co-captain Michael Mauti was injured in the first quarter of the Indiana game, Hull took the field and responded by recording a career-high 11 tackles, with one sack, 1.5 tackles for loss and a pass breakup in the win over the Hoosiers. In addition to helping Penn State rank second in the Big Ten and No. 16 nationally in scoring defense at 19.1 ppg, Hull saw action on all four punt and kickoff units. He was No. 6 on the team with 58 tackles (34 solo), the highest total among the non-starters. He was tied for third on the squad with 4.0 sacks for minus-25 yards, recorded 5.0 TFL, two fumble recoveries, including one for a touchdown, an interception, a blocked punt and four pass breakups. Hull made six tackles (four solo) against Ohio and had two solo stops, including a sack, at Virginia. He had five hits and alertly scooped up a fumble, returning it 74 yards for a touchdown, in the 34-7 win over Navy for Bill O’Brien’s first career head coaching victory. Hull made three stops each in wins over Temple and at Illinois and had five hits with a pass breakup in the 39-28 decision over No. 24 Northwestern. He made two solo stops and grabbed an interception in the 38-14 win at Iowa. Hull blocked his second career punt in the second quarter against Ohio State, which was recovered by Michael Yancich for a 7-0 lead in an electric Beaver Stadium. He also recorded a sack among his three solo tackles against the Buckeyes. Hull made six hits and had a pass breakup in the 34-9 victory at Purdue, helping hold the Boilermakers to their fewest points since 2008. Hull made seven tackles at No. 18 Nebraska and recovered a fumble in Northwestern territory that led to a touchdown. He made his first career start in the thrilling 24-21 overtime win over Wisconsin and had five tackles (four solo), with 0.5 TFL. Hull earned Academic All-Big Ten honors for the second time.


In his first season on the field, Hull played in every game on special teams and defense and was an immediate contributor. He totaled 18 tackles, including 1.5 TFL, and had two pass breakups and one blocked kick. In his first career game, Hull made a team-high seven stops, with 0.5 tackles for loss, against Indiana State. He recorded two tackles and a pass breakup against No. 2 Alabama. In the win at Temple, Hull blocked a punt in the second quarter, giving Penn State the ball at midfield to set up a touchdown drive. Hull made five tackles and had one pass breakup in the Eastern Michigan victory. In the Leaders Division win over Illinois, Hull was part of a punt return unit that put pressure on Illini punter Justin DuVernois throughout the game, blocking a kick in the fourth quarter to set up a scoring drive.

Tight End ➤ Glassport, Pa.

When head coach Bill O’Brien arrived at Penn State, Nittany Nation was immediately excited about the offense he would implement and the significant role tight ends would play. O’Brien has often stated that the tight ends have the second-most difficult job learning his diverse, high-octane offense after the quarterbacks. But, the challenges were embraced by the tight ends, who combined to make 83 receptions last year. Enrolling at Penn State in January 2012, Jesse James quickly assimilated himself into academics, football and campus life to begin a tremendously successful freshman season. He participated in winter workouts, began learning the offense O’Brien brought with him from the New England Patriots and then had a chance to demonstrate his vast array of skills during spring drills. Blessed with excellent physical attributes, work-ethic and desire, James was prepared to carry a heavy workload as a pass catcher and blocker during what would become a record-tying freshman campaign. Playing in every game, with six starts, he was selected a CollegeFootballNews.com honorable-mention Freshman All-American for his efforts. James made 15 receptions for 276 yards and five touchdowns, good for second on the team, and his superb 18.4 yards per catch average led the squad. His five touchdown catches tied the Penn State season record by a tight end, joining Bob Parsons (1971) and Dan Natale (1972). With his tremendous and dedicated efforts in the strength and conditioning program, James has dropped 15 pounds since the

summer of 2012, while improving his strength and speed. An all-state honoree at South Allegheny High School, he ended his freshman season with one of the signature plays of the 2012 season.

James also played a vital role in helping pave the way for 1,000-yard rusher Zach Zwinak and protecting quarterback Matt McGloin during his record-setting campaign.

Defensive Tackle ➤ Galloway, N.J.

When members of the Nittany Lion defense were asked last spring about younger players who had made a strong impression during winter conditioning and the 15 spring practices, one name consistently came up — defensive tackle Austin Johnson. A strong and tough player, Johnson made his presence known on the Dirty Show during his redshirt season, helping preparing the offensive line for the rigors of the Big Ten campaign. In his first game in Beaver Stadium, he recorded a game-high-tying five tackles, with two sacks, to help the defense post the win in the Blue-White game. Johnson has excellent drive and physical attributes and will be a primary challenger for a starting assignment next to senior DaQuan Jones.

Defensive Tackle ➤ Johnson City, N.Y.

DaQuan Jones made his presence felt in the middle of the defensive line in 2012 during his first year as a starter, helping the Nittany Lions rank second in the Big Ten in scoring defense. But, as is the case every year in intercollegiate athletics, when Jones lines up in the 2013 opener with Syracuse, he will see several new faces to his left and right, with four defensive linemen having graduated from last year’s unit. Jones will be counted on to mentor and guide a host of young Nittany Lions in the locker room and on the field and provide tenacity and productivity in the middle of the trenches. The former Johnson City Senior High School standout has excellent physical attributes and possesses a challenging combination of size, strength and quickness. Selected third-team pre-season All-Big Ten by Phil Steele’s College Football Preview, Jones has the ability to occupy and fight through multiple offensive linemen to provide more opportunities for teammates to make plays when he’s not in the backfield himself. Jones’ talents, desire and fierce work-ethic in the strength and conditioning program have seen him drop 15 pounds, while increasing his strength and have him primed for a strong senior season. He is among the squad members who has bench pressed more than 400 pounds. Jones is a criminology major and spent a portion of his summer as an intern observing the Spring Township Police Department near State College.


Jones secured a starting role during training camp and started the first 11 games. He played an instrumental role for a defense that ranked second in the Big Ten and No. 16 nationally in scoring defense at 19.1 ppg, holding six teams to 17 or fewer points. Jones recorded 22 tackles, with 2.0 tackles for loss and one-half sack, a fumble recovery and a pass breakup. In his first career start, Jones made four tackles against Ohio. He recorded 1.5 TFL among his four stops in the 34-7 win over Navy and had one-half sack among his two hits in the 35-7 victory at Illinois. Jones had one tackle and a pass breakup in the 39-28 comeback win over No. 24 Northwestern. He recovered a fumble inside the Iowa red zone that led to a touchdown and a 24-0 second-quarter lead en route to a 38-14 decision over the Hawkeyes. Jones had two hits at No. 18 Nebraska, made one tackle in the win over Indiana and had three stops in the 24-21 Senior Day overtime victory against Wisconsin.


Jones was a top reserve at defensive tackle and played in every game, recording eight tackles, in-cluding four solo stops. He made two hits each in the wins over Indiana State and Eastern Michigan. Jones saw action on 247 snaps, including a high of 30 against Houston and 29 at Wisconsin in the battle for the Leaders Division title.

The coaching staff held Jones out of the initial four games for a possible redshirt season, but his play in practice and potential got him on the field. He made his debut in the Big Ten-opener at Iowa and played in the final nine games. Jones played tackle most of the season, but was forced to play defensive end against Illinois in his second game, when injuries knocked three ends from the field. One of seven true freshmen to play, Jones made six tackles, with two tackles for loss and a sack. Jones had a season-high three hits at Ohio State, including a tackle for minus-three yards. He made two solo stops against Florida in the 2011 Outback Bowl, including a sack for minus-four yards. He saw action on 168 snaps, topped by 58 against Illinois.

Rated as the No. 2 offensive lineman by Rivals.com, Jones was a standout on both sides of the ball for Coach Fred Deinhardt at Johnson City High School.

15ALEXKENNEY6-0 ➤ 194 ➤ Sr./Jr. Eligible

Wide Receiver ➤ State College, Pa.

The Nittany Lions return their top seven pass catchers from last year and Alex Kenney should figure prominently in the wide receiver rotation and on special teams. A redshirt junior, Kenney was sixth on the team with 17 catches for 172 yards last season. He moved back to wide receiver from cornerback during preparations for the TicketCity Bowl at the end of the 2011 season. One of the squad’s quickest and most athletic players, Kenney also could play a significant role as a kickoff returner. He was the team leader with a :4.43 40-yard time through the spring. A state prep track record-holder in the 60 meters, his work-ethic, desire and intelligence have helped him make substantial progress during the past year. Success in athletics runs in the family, as Kenney’s sister, Lauren, is an accomplished junior thrower on the Penn State women’s track and field team.

He was among six true freshmen to play last year and is primed to play a more significant role this season. A hard-hitting and instinctive athlete, Lucas worked with the first unit at cornerback during spring practice and was atop the post-spring depth chart.

85BRANDONMOSEBY-FELDER6-2 ➤ 199 ➤ Sr./Sr. Eligible

Wide Receiver ➤ Fort Washington, Md.

Penn State trailed No. 24 Northwestern, 28-25, in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter in Beaver Stadium. On fourth-and-two from the Northwestern 19, Bill O’Brien decided against a field goal attempt and instead watched Brandon Moseby-Felder make one of the most critical plays of the season with a 13-yard catch for a first down. Three plays later, the Homecoming crowd went berserk as Matt McGloin tumbled into the end zone for the eventual game-winning score in the 39-28 win. Moseby-Felder began 2012 quietly with a combined three catches in four non-conference games, but when Big Ten play started he rapidly emerged as a dynamic and sure-handed option in the passing game. It was a breakout season for the swift and athletic Maryland product, as he shattered his season career-bests in every receiving category. A starter in nine games, his 50.6 yards per game average in Big Ten play ranked 10th in the conference. Moseby-Felder was third on the team with 31 receptions for 437 yards (14.1) and one touchdown, a 41-yard scoring strike in the win at Purdue. He made three catches of 42 yards to re-set his career-long in three consecutive conference games — at Iowa, against Ohio State and at Purdue. The emergence of Moseby-Felder gives the Nittany Lions one of the premier receiving tandems in the conference as he and 2012 Big Ten Receiver-of-the-Year Allen Robinson return this fall. The former Oxen Hill High School standout can stretch the field, runs precise routes and is an effective downfield blocker. The efforts of the determined Moseby-Felder in the strength and conditioning program has added 10 pounds to his frame, while enhancing his strength and quickness. A potential All-Big Ten candidate, he was on schedule to earn his degree in journalism in August 2013. Moseby-Felder is among six returnees from metro Washington, D.C.


It was a breakout season for Moseby-Felder, who appeared in all 12 games with nine starts. He shat-tered his season career-bests in every receiving category and his 50.6 yards per game average in Big Ten play ranked 10th in the conference. Moseby-Felder was third on the team with 31 receptions for 437 yards (14.1) and one touchdown, a 41-yard scoring strike in the win at Purdue. After not reg-istering a catch in the first two games, he made at least one reception in each of the final 10 games, increasing his productivity as Big Ten play commenced. Moseby-Felder made three catches of 42 yards to re-set his career-long in three consecutive conference games — at Iowa, against Ohio State and at Purdue. Moseby-Felder made three catches for 37 yards in the Big Ten-opening 35-7 win at Illinois. His then-career-best five catches in the comeback win over No. 24 Northwestern included a 13-yard reception to the Wildcat six-yard line on fourth-and-two to keep the go-ahead touchdown drive alive. At Iowa, his four receptions went for 60 yards to help the Nittany Lions to a 38-14 win. His 42-yard grab on the first play from scrimmage in the second half set up a short Bill Belton touchdown run on the next play for a 31-0 lead over the Hawkeyes. He gained 70 yards on four catches against Ohio State, with another 42-yard grab. Moseby-Felder delivered his finest career game in the 34-9 victory at Purdue, setting career-highs with six catches for 129 yards, including a 41-yard touchdown grab, the first of his career. He cracked 100 receiving yards for the first time in his career in the win over the Boilermakers. His one catch at No. 18 Nebraska went for 23 yards on Penn State’s first possession, leading to a game-opening touchdown. Moseby-Felder made four catches for 42 yards in the 45-22 win over Indiana before closing the season with one reception for 10 yards in the thrilling 24-21 overtime win against Wisconsin.


Moseby-Felder saw action in 10 games and stepped up in the wins over Purdue and Northwestern when Derek Moye was sidelined with a foot injury. He started in three consecutive wins over the Boilermakers, Wildcats and Illinois. Moseby-Felder caught four passes for 53 yards, making his first career catch in the victory at Temple. He had his best game in the Leaders Division encounter against the Boilermakers, grabbing two passes for a career-high 40 yards. Moseby-Felder caught one pass for nine yards in helping the Nittany Lions to 34 points in the win at Northwestern. He played 192 snaps, topped by 44 and 43, respectively, in the wins over the Wildcats and Illini.


In his first season on the field, Moseby-Felder played in 10 games, making three catches for 13 yards. He recorded his first career reception against Kent State, snagging a three-yard pass.

With great size, speed and strong hands, the Michigan native looked the part of a standout player during the off-season leading up to the 2012 campaign. Members of the team knew Robinson was on the brink of a breakout season when given the opportunity to contribute. Seeing significant action for the first time in his career in week one against Ohio, Robinson busted onto the scene with nine catches for 97 yards in the high-octane Bill O’Brien-led offense. With his confidence confirmed by the breakout season-opener, Robinson never looked back en route to racing into the record books during a dominant sophomore season. The awards piled up for the athletic and vastly talented wideout, who was selected the 2012 Big Ten Richter-Howard Receiver-of-the-Year and first-team All-Big Ten by the coaches, media, BTN.com and ESPN.com. A probable All-America candidate, the hard-working and dynamic Robinson shattered the Penn State season receptions record with 77 catches, besting the previous record of 63 held by All-Americans O.J. McDuffie (1992) and Bobby Engram (1995). He also obliterated the season mark for a sophomore that had been held by Engram (48, 1993) and Deon Butler (48, 2006). Robinson’s 1,013 yards marked just the third 1,000-yard receiving season in school history, joining Engram (twice) as the only 1,000-yard season receivers to wear the blue and white. Having made three catches for 29 yards as a freshman, Robinson led the Big Ten in catches, receptions per game, receiving yards and touchdown catches in 2012. His 11 touchdown grabs were tied for second-highest in a season at Penn State (Engram, 1995). Robinson’s 6-3 frame and leaping ability makes him a big target in the red zone, and he enters the year tied for ninth on the career touchdown receptions chart after two seasons. The former Orchard Lake St. Mary’s Prep standout has breakaway speed and is elusive in the open field. He also is among the squad’s most active members in community service activities. Robinson again delivered a superb off-season in the strength and conditioning program and elevated his game to another level during spring practice. Robinson was the team leader in the spring with a 37-inch vertical jump. He should be a primary candidate for the Biletnikoff Award, presented to the nation’s top receiver, and a significant

contributor for the NIttany Lions the next two seasons. Robinson is joined by C.J. Olaniyan and Anthony Zettel as returning Nittany Lions from Michigan.


Robinson started all 12 games at wide receiver and was selected the Big Ten Richter-Howard Receiver-of-the-Year and first-team All-Big Ten by the coaches, media, BTN.com and ESPN.com. A Biletnikoff Award candidate, he broke the Penn State season receptions record with 77 catches, shattering the previous mark of 63 shared by All-Americans O.J. McDuffie (1992) and Bobby Engram (1995). Robinson’s 77 receptions also obliterated the Penn State sophomore season mark of 48 that had been held by Engram (1993) and Deon Butler (2006). His 1,013 yards marked just the third 1,000-yard receiving season in Penn State history as he joined Engram (twice) as the only 1,000-yard season receivers to wear the blue and white. Robinson also broke Freddie Scott’s school sophomore season record of 973 yards set in 1994. Robinson led the Big Ten in catches (77), receptions per game (6.4), receiving yards (1,013, 84.8 avg.) and touchdown catches (11). His 66 points were second on the team and he hauled in 11 touchdown catches, tied for second-highest in a season at Penn State (Engram, 1995). He was second on the team with 1,013 all-purpose yards. Robinson opened the season with a then-career-best nine-catch effort for 97 yards against Ohio, smashing his total number of receptions (3 for 29 yards) from 2011. He followed with a career-high 10 catches for 89 yards at Virginia, including his first career touchdown grab on a diving 30-yard effort. Robinson recorded his first career 100-yard game with five receptions for 136 yards and three touchdowns in the 34-7 win over Navy, including a pair of 45-yard grabs. He led all players with nine catches for 85 yards and two touchdowns in the thrilling 39-28 win over No. 24 Northwestern. His eight-yard TD catch in the third quarter and a diving six-yard grab in back of the end zone on fourth down helped erase an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit in the comeback win against the Wildcats. Robinson made six catches with a touchdown in the 38-14 prime time win at Iowa, and he had five catches for 68 yards against Ohio State. His five catches at Purdue went for 58 yards, including a leaping 27-yard reception and run to set up a second-quarter score. In the clash at No. 18 Nebraska, Robinson posted his 63rd reception to move into a tie for first on the school season receptions chart and made a game-high six catches for 97 yards. Robinson delivered one of the top receiving efforts in school history with a career-high 197 yards on 10 catches and three touchdowns in the 45-22 victory over Indiana. His yardage total versus the Hoosiers ranked fifth on the school’s game list and included a career-long 53-yard catch and run for a TD, Penn State’s longest play from scrimmage in 2012. He also made leaping 26 and 10-yard catches in the end zone against Indiana. Robinson closed the season with four catches in the dramatic 24-21 Senior Day overtime win over Wisconsin.

Guard/Tackle ➤ West Scranton, Pa.

Entering his senior season, Eric Shrive has had at least three main priorities to focus on: 1) continue on schedule to graduate in December; 2) play a more significant role on the football team and 3) help Penn State Uplifting Athletes take its fund-raising total to new heights. That’s a lot on the plate of the Scranton native, who is enrolled in Penn State’s world-renowned hotel, restaurant and institutional management program. But, the out-going Shrive embraces the opportunities and the challenges with determination, a great work-ethic and a smile. Shrive appeared in all 12 games on offense and special teams, seeing action at guard and tackle last season. The talented, strong and versatile player was primarily focused on the tackle positions during spring practice and should have an opportunity to challenge for a starting assignment. Shrive was elected president of Penn State’s chapter of Uplifting Athletes last winter after two years as vice president. Uplifting Athletes is a non-profit charitable organization that raises funds and awareness for rare diseases. The past two years, he played a large role in the organization of the football team’s Penn State Lift For Life, resulting in record totals above $100,000 in 2011 and 2012 for the Kidney Cancer Association. In 2011, the fight became personal for Shrive when an uncle was diagnosed with kidney cancer. During the past two years, Shrive has raised nearly $70,000 for kidney cancer patients and their families via the Lift For Life. Shrive was awarded the 2013 Uplifting Athletes Rare Disease Champion Award for his efforts off the field and was recognized at the 2013 Maxwell Dinner and the Uplifting Athletes Gridiron Gala, for his achievements. The former West Scranton High School all-state honoree announced at a Nittany Lion basketball game that the Uplifting Athletes leadership was aiming to raise a record total of $300,000 this year to push the all-time total past $1 million.

Guard ➤ Williamsville, N.Y.

The embodiment of a student-athlete, John Urschel was selected a first-team All-Big Ten guard and a first-team Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-American® in 2012. Urschel enters his fifth-year senior season as arguably college football’s premier student-athlete. Among the top returning offensive linemen in the Big Ten, Urschel’s contributions to the Penn State football program stretch from his leadership in the locker room and on the field to his unrivaled success in the classroom. Penn State’s 2012-13 Big Ten Medal of Honor recipient, Urschel is poised to be among the primary candidates for the William V. Campbell Trophy, presented by the National Football Foundation to the nation’s top football scholar-athlete. A three-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree, Urschel graduated with a 4.0 grade-point average in mathematics in May 2012, less than three years after enrolling in the University. He immediately began working on a master’s degree in math and graduated in May 2013 with a 4.0 GPA. Urschel has begun working on a master’s in math education, with the plan of earning a Ph.D. after his football career has been completed. During the 2013 spring semester, Urschel taught a section of Math 041 — Trigonometry and Analytic Geometry — to Penn State undergraduate students three days a week in addition to his own academic work and football responsibilities. He also is doing research in multigrid methods and computational mathematics.

Cornerback ➤ Baltimore, Md.

Following a strong start to his Nittany Lion career in 2012 as a true freshman, Trevor Williams joined classmate Malik Golden in transitioning from wide receiver to the secondary during spring practice. Although he had a successful debut season, making 10 catches and earning a start against Ohio State, Williams recognized there was a more urgent need for his athleticism, toughness and instincts on defense. The Maryland all-state honoree made significant strides during the 15 spring practices and will have an opportunity to earn a starting assignment at cornerback this fall. Depending on his continued progress and personnel groupings, it’s possible Williams could join former Calvert Hall College High School teammates Adrian Amos and Da’Quan Davis to comprise three-quarters of the defensive backfield at the same time this season. Williams also could see time on special teams, having returned four kickoffs last year. He is among the 12 returning Nittany Lions from Maryland.

Safety ➤ Marbury, Md.

One of the most experienced and valued contributors on the Penn State defense, safety Malcolm Willis again will be counted on to provide consistently productive play and leadership for the secondary. The situation the hard-hitting fifth-year senior faces entering this season is vastly different, and improved, from the start of 2012, when he and senior Stephon Morris were the only members of the secondary who had much game experience. Morris has graduated, leaving Willis as the most battle-tested defensive back, but this year his leadership can be accentuated by returning starters Stephen Obeng-Agyapong and Adrian Amos, as well as juniors Ryan Keiser and Jesse Della Valle. The secondary also will benefit from being much more familiar with John Butler, who coached the secondary last year and was promoted to defensive coordinator in January. The strong, athletic and instinctive Willis has a nose for the ball and will be counted on to make plays for the defense and special teams. The former Lackey High School standout enters the season with 17 career starts, the second-highest total on the squad. He started the first 10 games of last season at free safety, but missed the final two contests with a minor knee injury suffered at Nebraska. He was seventh on the team with 45 tackles (27 solo) last year, adding a fumble recovery and two pass breakups. The highly-skilled and motivated Willis graduated in May and was among the seven Nittany Lions who had earned their degrees after the 2013 spring semester. A potential All-Big Ten candidate, he is among six returnees from metro Washington, D.C.

He made six tackles against Ohio and five at Virginia to open the season. He contributed four stops against Temple and five in the 39-28 comeback win over No. 24 Northwestern. Willis made three tackles in helping hold Iowa to 209 yards of total offense in the 38-14 prime time win. He made five hits against Ohio State and four solo stops in the 34-9 win at Purdue, recovering a fumble near midfield that led to a first-quarter score. His seven tackles at No. 18 Nebraska were a season-high, but Willis suffered a sprained knee in the contest that sidelined him for the Indiana and Wisconsin games.


Playing in every game, Willis recorded 33 tackles (22 solo), as well as one interception, a fumble recovery and a blocked kick. He delivered Penn State’s second blocked punt of the season against Eastern Michigan.

In the TicketCity Bowl with Houston, he was fourth on the team with a season-high eight stops. Willis saw action on 439 snaps, with a high of 48 each against Indiana and Houston.


Willis saw increased playing time the second half of the season as Nick Sukay and Andrew Dailey battled injuries.

He was sixth on the squad with 54 tackles (29 solo), grabbed one interception and had three pass breakups. Willis made six stops against Illinois. He saw extensive action at Minnesota and recorded a career-high nine tackles in the win. Willis made his first career start in the prime time win over Michigan and tallied eight tackles and a team-high three pass breakups. He continued his strong play as he delivered eight tackles in the historic comeback win over Northwestern. Willis grabbed a critical fourth-quarter interception of Ohio State’s Terrelle Pryor on Penn State’s two-yard line, for his first career interception. He made five tackles against the Buckeyes in Ohio Stadium. Willis compiled four stops in the win over Indiana at FedEx Field and added two pass breakups. He made seven hits (six solo) and a pass breakup against Florida in the Outback Bowl. Willis was on the field for 642 snaps, topped by 90 plays at Minnesota and 80 plays against Florida in the 2011 Outback Bowl.

98ANTHONYZETTEL6-4 ➤ 257 ➤ Jr./So. Eligible

Defensive End ➤ West Branch, Mich.

One of the most fiercely contested battles in training camp figures to come at the defensive end spot opposite Deion Barnes, the 2012 Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Year. With Pete Massaro and Sean Stanley having graduated, sophomore Anthony Zettel should be among a primary trio of players battling for a starting assignment. The strong, highly-skilled and instinctive Zettel made a strong impression during his first season on the field. Playing in every game, the former Ogemaw Heights High School all-state selection recorded 15 tackles (10 solo), four of which were sacks for minus-19 yards. The high-energy Zettel has good speed and a nose for the ball and should have an opportunity to be a significant contributor on defense and the special teams during the next three seasons. Zettel joins C.J. Olaniyan and Allen Robinson as returning Nittany Lions from Michigan.


In his first season on the field, Zettel played in all 12 games and made an immediate impact when he took the field. He made 15 tackles (10 solo), recording 4.0 sacks and adding two pass breakups. His 4.0 sacks (minus-19) were tied for third on the team and tied with linebacker Mike Hull for the most among non-starters. Zettel made three tackles against Ohio in his Nittany Lion debut. He delivered a big six-tackle effort that included two sacks (minus-15 yards) in the 34-7 win over Navy in Bill O’Brien’s first career head coaching victory. Zettel recorded a sack during a two-tackle effort in the 38-14 prime time victory at Iowa. He made one solo stop and had a pass breakup in the 34-9 win at Purdue and recorded a sack in the win over Indiana.

28ZACHZWINAK6-1 ➤ 240 ➤ Sr./Jr. Eligible

Running Back ➤ Frederick, Md.

Cut from an old-school cloth and ready to deliver a blow on every play with his downhill, hard-nosed running style, Zach Zwinak emerged as one of the Big Ten’s most productive running backs in 2012. The native of Frederick, Md., made big strides in the weight room during the off-season, and is among the top returning rushers in the conference. A prominent ball carrier in just nine games and a starter in just four, Zwinak reached 1,000 rushing yards in 2012, marking the eighth straight season a Nittany Lion has reached the 1,000-yard plateau. An honorable-mention All-Big Ten selection, Zwinak joined an elite group in 2012, becoming the 14th different Nittany Lion all-time to crack the 1,000-yard mark in a season (22nd season with a 1,000-yard rusher). What made Zwinak’s season stand out is that the physical and punishing back had a total of three carries in the first three games. He gained 904 yards in the eight Big Ten games and averaged 113 yards per game, the fifth-highest total for conference games only. A straight-ahead runner, the Linganore High School product broke his career-high in rushing yards six times in the final nine games of 2012. With continued progress during training camp, the junior will play a central role in what is shaping up to be a dynamic backfield for the Nittany Lion offense in 2013. Zwinak is one of 12 returning Nittany Lions from Maryland.


Zwinak appeared in all 12 games with four starts, earning his first career start at Purdue and starting the final four games of the season. He delivered the 22nd 1,000-yard rushing season in Penn State history and gave the Nittany Lions a 1,000-yard running back for the eighth consecutive year. An honorable-mention All-Big Ten selection, Zwinak became the 14th different Nittany Lion all-time to crack 1,000 yards in a season. After gaining a total of 96 yards in four non-conference games, he delivered 904 yards in eight Big Ten games for an average of 113.0 yards per game, the fifth-highest total in conference play. For the season, Zwinak gained 1,000 yards on 203 carries (4.9) and scored six touchdowns on the ground. He delivered the team’s longest rush of the season, a startling 50-yard touchdown burst on the first series of the game at No. 18 Nebraska. Zwinak also caught 20 passes for 177 yards and a score, ranking fifth on the team in receptions. His 1,177 all-purpose yards led the squad. He broke his career-high in rushing yards six times in the final nine games. During the initial three contests of the season, Zwinak had three carries for two yards at Virginia. In the fourth game, against Temple, he broke out with 94 yards on 18 carries and one catch for 12 yards. One week later, he notched his first career 100-yard effort, carrying the ball 19 times for 100 yards and two touchdowns in the 35-7 win at Illinois to become the 85th Nittany Lion all-time to rush for 100 yards in a game. Zwinak’s fourth-quarter workload against the Illini included five consecutive carries for 31 yards, capped by his second one-yard touchdown run of the game. In the 39-28 comeback win over No. 24 Northwestern, Zwinak re-wrote his career-high in the third straight game, gaining 121 yards on 28 carries, with one touchdown. He became just the eighth Nittany Lion to compile his first two 100-yard efforts in consecutive contests. Zwinak ran for 52 yards and had two catches for 24 yards in the 38-14 prime time win at Iowa. In his first career start, Zwinak’s 134 yards on 21 carries (6.4 avg.) in the 34-9 victory at Purdue started a string of four consecutive 100-yard games to finish the season. He delivered another superb effort at No. 18 Nebraska, as he ran for 141 yards on 21 carries (6.7) and a touchdown. On the fourth play of the game, Zwinak’s 50-yard burst up the middle for a score was Penn State’s second-longest play from scrimmage and the longest rush of the season. He also made two catches for 37 yards, including a career long 31-yard effort, against the Huskers for 178 all-purpose yards. Zwinak gained 135 yards on 29 carries and scored a touchdown in the win over Indiana, adding a 16-yard touchdown grab. He reached the 1,000-yard mark for the season exactly on the dot thanks to a career effort in the thrilling 24-21 overtime win over Wisconsin. He re-wrote his career-high for the sixth time of the season with 179 yards on a career-best 36 carries and made three catches for five yards to produce a team season-high and personal career-high 184 all-purpose yards.


In his first season on the field, Zwinak appeared in two games and gained considerable experience on the practice field. He rushed for seven yards on three carries, gaining six yards in the win over Eastern Michigan. He also recorded a carry in the season-opener against Indiana State.


Redshirt season. Zwinak suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in an October practice and underwent surgery soon thereafter, ending his season.

COACHING STAFFPENN STATE FOOTBALL 2013


HEAD COACH

BILL O’BRIENTo call Bill O’Brien’s first year as a head coach “great” would be a vast understatement.

A thesaurus doesn’t contain all the superlatives that could be used to describe the overall efforts by O’Brien, his staff and the Nittany Lion squad members during his thrilling, challenging and memorable first season as head coach at Penn State.

Named the Nittany Lions’ 15th head football coach on January 6, 2012, O’Brien quickly and effectively established the foundation and shared his passionate vision for the new era of Penn State football during his initial eight months on the job.

After two narrow losses to open the 2012 season, the resilient Nittany Lions responded the following Monday with one of their best practices of the season to set the tone for the final 10 games. A 34-7 victory over Navy in Week 3 not only was O’Brien’s first career victory, but served as a launching pad for the remainder of the season. Penn State won eight of its final 10 contests and compiled a 6-2 mark in the Big Ten Conference, finishing second in the Leaders Division.

Penn State capped its remarkable season with a 24-21 overtime victory over eventual Big Ten Champion Wisconsin on an emotional Senior Day, with 31 committed and dedicated seniors introduced to the Beaver Stadium crowd before the game. O’Brien’s eight victories were the most by a first-year Penn State coach in the 126 years of the program and led to a plethora of accolades for his leadership, coaching acumen and commitment under unprecedented conditions.

In his 20th year of coaching, but his first as a head coach, O’Brien was selected the 2012 Bear Bryant Coach-of-the-Year, ESPN Coach-of-the-Year and the Maxwell Football Club Collegiate Coach-of-the-Year. He also was a finalist for the Liberty Mutual Coach-of-the-Year and the Eddie Robinson Coach-of-the-Year by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA). O’Brien also was among the finalists for the 2012 Dapper Dan Sportsman-of-the-Year, a prestigious honor presented to a metropolitan Pittsburgh sports figure.

O’Brien also was named the Big Ten’s Dave McClain Coach-of-the-Year (media), Hayes-Schembechler Coach-of-the-Year (coaches) and overall Big Ten Men’s Coach-of-the-Year. The Brown University graduate was just the seventh first-year head coach to earn the Big Ten-Dave McClain Coach-of-the-Year honor in the 41 years it has been awarded.

Penn State reeled off five consecutive victories after the 0-2 start, as O’Brien tied George Hoskins (1892) and Dick Harlow (1915) for the most consecutive wins by a first-year Nittany Lion coach. Among the wins was a 22-point fourth-quarter explosion to hand No. 24 Northwestern its first loss. Penn State also won its initial three Big Ten road games, making O’Brien just the fifth Big Ten coach since 1950 to win his first three conference away contests.

The Nittany Lions’ offensive coordinator, O’Brien engineered a dynamic, fast-paced offense that featured the Big Ten’s passing leader (Matt McGloin), top receiver (Allen Robinson) and a running back (Zach Zwinak), who gained 100 yards six times in eight Big Ten games and 1,000 yards for the season. McGloin broke nine school passing records and won the Burlsworth Trophy and Robinson shattered the Penn State season record with 77 receptions.

“THIS IS A GREAT MATCH BETWEEN A STORIED PROGRAM AND AN OLD-SCHOOL FOOTBALL COACH.”

Penn State led the Big Ten in total offense (437.0 ypg) in conference games and was second in scoring offense (32.6 ppg) and second in pass offense (283.1 ypg) against Big Ten foes in 2012. The Nittany Lions gained more than 500 yards of total offense three times in conference play, topped by 546 yards against Indiana, its highest total against a Big Ten foe in four years.

O’Brien’s teaching and tenacity helped Penn State produce two All-America honorees (Jordan Hill and Michael Mauti), two freshmen All-Americans (Deion Barnes and Kyle Carter), six first-team All-Big Ten selections and three individual conference award winners:

3 LB Michael Mauti — Big Ten Butkus-Fitzgerald Linebacker-of-the-Year;3 WR Allen Robinson — Big Ten Richter-Howard Receiver-of-the-Year;3 DE Deion Barnes — Thompson-Randle El Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Year.“Bill O’Brien has been an outstanding addition to Penn State athletics and to our University

community,” said President Rodney Erickson. “His leadership has been exceptional as he has rallied fans and players in their support of our team and delivered a winning season. Coach O’Brien’s commitment to both athletics and academics continues Penn State’s long-standing tradition of achievement both on the field and off, and his first year as head coach of the Nittany Lions has been one of tremendous success and positive impact on the entire University.”

“He’s an educator and he’s a very humble guy,” said Dave Joyner, Director of Athletics. “He is a coach who is really a teacher and an educator. He really serves that purpose very well, and he’s able to greatly enhance the experience for his student-athletes. What motivates him is working at a great university and being able to coach these great young men, and working with all the coaches together as a great OneTeam. That’s what motivates Bill O’Brien.”

During the 2012 fall semester, O’Brien saw 47 squad members compile at least a 3.0 grade-point average, with a program-record 20 Nittany Lions earning Dean’s List recognition by posting a 3.5 GPA or higher during the semester. A program-record 28 football student-athletes attained Academic All-Big Ten honors in 2012 for owning at least a 3.0 grade-point average and being a letterman. In addition, senior defensive end Pete Massaro and John Urschel garnered first-team CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, as Penn State and Notre Dame were the only FBS schools with multiple first-team honorees.

During the 2013 spring semester, 46 football student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 grade-point average. Among the 46 squad members with a 3.0 GPA, 37 are scheduled to return for the 2013 season. Among the 46 high achieving Nittany Lions, 20 compiled a 3.5 GPA or higher during the spring semester. The 46 Nittany Lions with a 3.0 GPA during the spring semester was a significant increase from the 34 players who recorded a 3.0 during the 2012 spring semester.

O’Brien is a tireless worker, with an emphasis not only on hard work in the classroom, practice field and weight room, but on the importance of character, respect, integrity, honesty and competition for all members of the football squad and staff.

During the past two years, immediately after the 15 allotted spring practices that culminate in the Blue-White game, O’Brien has spent the next week meeting individually with every squad

member to discuss where they stood in his eyes and what they needed to work on academically or related to football in order to improve or earn more playing time during the upcoming season.

Early the following week after all the player meetings, O’Brien has jumped on a customized bus for the ambitious and unprecedented Penn State Coaches Caravan. Over the course of 6-9 days in the first half of May, O’Brien has met with Penn State alumni, fans and former players and the media. In 2012, O’Brien headlined 18 Coaches Caravan events in 17 cities across seven states and Washington, D.C. He did nearly 80 interviews with local and national media over the three weeks to assist in introducing himself to Penn Staters, potential recruits and the nation, and spreading his vision of Penn State football.

The 2013 Coaches Caravan also was highly successful, with O’Brien speaking and interacting with more than 4,000 fans in attendance at the 12 events in Nittany Lion strongholds across Pennsylvania, New York, Baltimore and Washington, D.C.

From the day he was introduced to Nittany Nation, at each of the Coaches Caravan events and every day since, O’Brien has emphasized the four cornerstones of the program he is leading: Academics, Football, Integrity and Respect. During the 2012 Coaches Caravan, O’Brien introduced himself and the foundation of the football program with an enthusiastic and well-received PowerPoint presentation titled “Penn State Football: A Championship Program On and Off the Field.”

His vision includes building a “big, fast, physical football team able to play in all kinds of weather.” And it is a football program that is part of OneTeam, with the football squad and staff, Intercollegiate Athletics, the University, Penn State alumni and fans, residents of State College and all communities that are home to a Penn State campus working in unison to continue to build upon Penn State’s mission to improve the lives of the residents of Pennsylvania and beyond.

O’Brien’s personality, vision, passion, work-ethic, respect for the past, excitement for the future, and no-nonsense approach have resonated with and enthused every constituency he has met, from prospects and their families, to the football lettermen, Penn State alumni and fans and communities across the Commonwealth.

O’Brien’s experience as a collegiate player and a college and professional coach and the knowledge gained by working with some of the nation’s premier offensive minds prepared him for his first season as a head coach. His coaching experience includes 14 years at the collegiate level and five years as an offensive assistant coach with the NFL’s New England Patriots.

O’Brien has worked with some of the game’s most successful and innovative coaches and players, with Bill Belichick, Ralph Friedgen, Chan Gailey and George O’Leary among the coaches he has worked alongside and learned from. Tom Brady, Deion Branch, Kevin Faulk, George Godsey, Rob Gronkowski, Randy Moss and Wes Welker are among the players he has mentored during his coaching career.

A Brown graduate, also the alma mater of his College Football Hall of Fame predecessor Joe Paterno, the engaging, detail-oriented and intense O’Brien spent 14 years coaching at Brown, Georgia Tech, Maryland and Duke before spending five highly-successful years on Belichick’s staff.

A member of the Patriots’ coaching staff from 2007 until coming to Penn State, O’Brien served as the Patriots’ wide receivers coach in 2008 and was the quarterbacks coach in 2009-10 prior to his promotion to offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach in 2011.

O’Brien was instrumental in helping New England reach two Super Bowls in his five years on the staff, including Super Bowl XLVI. From 2009-11, O’Brien coached the Patriots’ quarterbacks, being promoted to offensive coordinator for the 2011 season, when New England led the AFC in scoring at 32.1 points per game. In 2011, O’Brien was instrumental in New England compiling a 13-3 record, the No. 1 seed in the AFC and advancing to Super Bowl XLVI. The Patriots scored 513 points, the AFC’s highest total and No. 3 in the National Football League. New England was second in the NFL in total offense (428.0 ypg) and passing yards (317.8 ypg).

Under O’Brien’s tutelage, Brady threw for 5,235 yards (No. 2 in NFL) and 39 touchdowns during the 2011 regular-season, as the Patriots won their final eight games. Wide receiver Welker led the NFL with 122 receptions and his 1,569 receiving yards ranked second in the NFL. Welker and tight end Rob Gronkowski (90; 1,327) ranked No. 1-2 in the AFC in receiving yardage in 2011. Gronkowski led the NFL with 17 touchdown receptions and was second with 18 overall scores during New England’s AFC Championship season.

From 2009-11, O’Brien coached Brady and the quarterbacks. Brady was selected the first unanimous Associated Press NFL MVP in 2010 after leading the Patriots to an NFL-best 14-2 mark.

O’Brien began his coaching career at his alma mater, working with the tight ends in 1993 and the inside linebackers in 1994. He joined George O’Leary’s Georgia Tech staff in 1995 as a graduate assistant, helping the Yellow Jackets to bowl appearances in each of his last six seasons, including bowl wins over Notre Dame, Stanford and West Virginia. In his first year as running backs coach, O’Brien helped the Ramblin’ Wreck to the 1998 Atlantic Coast Conference championship, just their second ACC title, and a Gator Bowl win over the Fighting Irish.

Working with then-offensive coordinator Ralph Friedgen, O’Brien served as the Yellow Jackets’ running backs coach from 1998-2000, with Georgia Tech finishing no lower than third in the Atlantic Coast Conference in rushing all three seasons and beating rival Georgia three consecutive times. O’Brien was promoted to Georgia Tech’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2001 and assistant head coach in 2002. In 2001, he helped George Godsey break school season records with 3,085 passing yards and 249 completions and lead the ACC in passing yards (257.1 ypg). He completed 64.8 percent of his passes, threw 18 touchdown passes and ran for four scores in 2001.

O’Brien was reunited with Friedgen in 2003, joining his Maryland staff as running backs coach. The Terrapins finished second in the ACC in rushing in his first season and defeated West Virginia, 41-7, in the Gator Bowl. Following two years in College Park, O’Brien served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Duke in 2005 and ’06, before joining the Patriots’ staff.

Born in Dorchester, Mass., O’Brien was raised in Andover, a Boston suburb, and graduated from St. John’s Prep. He played linebacker and defensive end at Brown from 1990-92, graduating in 1992 with a double concentration in political science and organizational behavior management.

O’Brien and his wife, Colleen, have two sons, Jack (11) and Michael (8).

“BILLY HAS BEEN A GREAT COACH AND FRIEND. WE HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP; PROBABLY A VERY UNIQUE RELATIONSHIP IN THAT WE COMMUNICATE ALL THE TIME. I ALWAYS ENJOY WORKING WITH HIM AND HE’S DONE AN INCREDIBLE JOB WITH THIS TEAM AND THIS OFFENSE. HE EXPECTS NOTHING LESS THAN OUR BEST.”

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Sept. 1 — Penn State saw Ohio rally from a 14-3 halftime def-icit to post a 24-14 win in Bill O’Brien’s first game as head coach of the Nittany Lions.

Ohio was the first of a school-record 10 teams that played in a bowl game in 2011 that were on Penn State’s schedule.

The Nittany Lions controlled the game in the first half, but the Bobcats scored 21 unanswered points in the second half to be-come just the second Mid-American Confer-ence team to beat Penn State.

Senior quarterback Matt McGloin set then-career-highs by completing 27-of-48 passes for 260 yards and a pair of touch-downs. He attempted 26 passes in the first half, the most by a Nittany Lion in a half since Zack Mills had 28 attempts against Purdue in 2004.

Sophomore wide receiver Allen Robin-son led all Big Ten players during the open-ing weekend by making a then-career-high nine receptions for 97 yards.

Sophomore tailback Bill Belton, who ran for 53 yards on 13 carries in his first career start, and junior tight end Matt Lehman each posted their first career touchdown recep-tions.

Linebacker Michael Mauti led all play-ers with 12 tackles, while linebacker Gerald Hodges recorded 11 stops and sophomore cornerback Adrian Amos posted a career-best 10 tackles.

Seven Nittany Lions made their first career starts in the game: Deion Barnes, Bill Belton, Miles Dieffenbach, DaQuan Jones, Stephen Obeng-Agyapong, Donovan Smith and John Urschel.

Five true freshmen made their Penn State debuts: Da’Quan Davis, Jesse James, Jordan Lucas, Nyeem Wartman and Trevor Williams.

Late in the first quarter, Belton recorded his first career touchdown and the first score in the O’Brien era, capping a 10-play, 80-yard drive. McGloin connected with Belton for the six-yard catch and run.

Penn State gained 173 yards on 25 plays and held the ball for 10:19 in the first quarter.

Wartman blocked a punt inside the Ohio red zone late in the first half. McGloin hit Lehman on a 14-yard catch and run for a 14-3 lead with 1:29 left in the half.

Penn State lost to Ohio for the first time in six series meetings, with the most recent contest having been played in 1974.

Penn State student-athletes and coach-es and deans from 11 of Penn State’s col-leges joined the Blue Band to form the tunnel the football team ran through prior to kickoff.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.; Sept. 8 — Penn State demonstrated marked improvement from the season-opener and led most of the game, but Virginia scored a touchdown with 1:28 to play to post a 17-16 win at Scott Stadium.

After the Cavaliers took the late lead, quarterback Matt McGloin led the Nittany Lions downfield for a possible game-winning score, but Sam Ficken’s 42-yard field goal attempt was wide at the gun, dropping the Nittany Lions to a heart-breaking 0-2.

The Penn State defense made sig-nificant strides from the opener, limiting the Cavaliers to 32 rushing yards on 25 attempts.

The Nittany Lions recorded seven tack-les for loss and three sacks. Freshman end Deion Barnes recorded his first two career sacks, and forced a fumble, and linebacker Mike Hull delivered his first career sack.

Penn State forced four turnovers, all in-side the Virginia 40-yard line, recording three fumble recoveries and an interception. But, the Nittany Lions tallied only three points off the four turnovers.

Jordan Hill grabbed his first career in-terception in the second quarter, returning it nine yards inside the Virginia red zone.

Michael Mauti forced his second career fumble in the first quarter and recovered his first career fumble in the fourth quarter. He led the Nittany Lions with nine tackles and also added a pass breakup.

Gerald Hodges recorded eight tackles and also recovered a fumble. Adrian Amos made six stops (five solo), including a TFL, and Malcolm Willis had five hits with 0.5 TFL. Glenn Carson made five tackles, with 1.0 TFL, and also ran 19 yards for a first down on a fake punt.

The Nittany Lions did not turn the ball over and exhibited a more balanced of-

fensive attack against Virginia than in the opener, with 43 passes and 42 rushes for 330 yards.

Penn State ran 85 offensive plays to Vir-ginia’s 61 and had 31:47 in possession time.

McGloin was 19-of-35 for 197 yards, with two touchdowns and no interceptions. He hit freshman tight end Kyle Carter on an eight-yard touchdown pass on the Nittany Lions’ opening drive for Carter’s first career score.

Allen Robinson broke his career-high for the second straight week with 10 recep-tions for 89 yards and made his first career touchdown reception on a diving 30-yard grab.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Sept. 15 — Penn State scored on its initial three possessions and kept Navy off the scoreboard until the fourth quarter to register a 34-7 victory and give head coach Bill O’Brien his first career victory.

The Penn State defense forced four turnovers (three fumbles) for the second con-secutive game and the offense did not have a turnover for the second straight contest.

Allen Robinson recorded his first career 100-yard game with 136 receiving yards and three touchdowns, coming on just five receptions. Robinson hauled in a pair of then-career-long 45-yard catches, with the second one going for a score. He also grabbed a two-yard toss and snagged a pass that was tipped by Trevor Williams for a 25-yard touchdown.

Robinson’s three touchdown receptions equaled the most by a Penn State receiver since Graham Zug at Michigan in 2009.

McGloin tied his career-high with four touchdown passes, going 13-of-21 for 231 yards, and was not intercepted for the sec-ond consecutive game. He delivered the first of his school-record 10 consecutive 200-yard passing games.

Senior Michael Zordich set then-career-highs with 11 carries and 50 yards. Curtis Dukes gained 47 yards on 11 carries.

Gerald Hodges grabbed his second career interception on a leaping effort at the Penn State 11-yard line in the first quarter.

Early in the fourth quarter, linebacker Mike Hull scooped up a fumble and sprinted 74 yards for a touchdown. The fumble return was the Nittany Lions’ first for a touchdown since Navorro Bowman returned one 91 yards against Eastern Illinois in 2009.

Penn State recorded nine tackles for loss (by seven players) and four sacks, in-

cluding two by freshman Anthony Zettel. The Nittany Lions also limited Navy to 4-of-15 on third down conversions.

Michael Mauti recorded a game-high 12 tackles, with 2.0 TFL for minus-26 yards, to earn Big Ten Defensive Player-of-the-Week honors for the second time in his career.

Defensive end Deion Barnes forced a fumble for the second straight week and recorded his third sack of the young season to share Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Week ac-colades.

Navy’s 60 rushing attempts were the most by a Penn State opponent since Ne-braska had 72 in 2003.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill.; Sept. 29 — Quarter-back Matt McGloin accounted for three touchdowns and linebacker Michael Mauti grabbed two interceptions to help boost Penn State to a 35-7 win over Illinois in the Big Ten-opener for both teams.

Head coach Bill O’Brien recorded his first career Big Ten victory and initial road win as the Nittany Lions won their third consecu-tive game in convincing fashion.

Mauti earned the Walter Camp National Defensive Player-of-the-Week honor, as well as his second Big Ten Defensive Player-of-the-Week in three games. He grabbed two interceptions, returning them 105 yards, and recorded six tackles and 0.5 sacks.

McGloin was 18-of-30 for 211 yards, in-cluding a 21-yard scoring strike to tight end Matt Lehman. McGloin ran for a one-yard touchdown midway through the first period and added another one-yard scoring run late in the third quarter.

Sophomore Zach Zwinak became the 85th Nittany Lion to rush for at least 100 yards in a game, gaining 100 yards on 19 carries and scoring twice for his first career 100-yard effort.

With the Ilini threatening to become the first team of the season to score a touch-down against Penn State in the first half, Mauti grabbed a Nathan Scheelhaase pass at the goal line and raced up the near side-line, but was tripped up at the Illinois one-yard line. The play broke the school record for longest interception return — 98 yards by Wayne Berfield against Boston University in 1958. Mauti made his second pick of the game near midfield late in the third quarter.

The Nittany Lions forced three turnovers and held the Illini nearly 20 points below their season average. Illinois gained 74 rushing yards on 22 attempts, becoming the second team to fail to gain 100 yards in 2012 against the Nittany Lions.

On five Illinois possessions, the Penn State defense held the Illini to zero or nega-tive yardage. Before the final Illinois drive of the game, the Nittany Lions allowed just one of 13 drives to extend longer than six plays.

Glenn Carson and Gerald Hodges tied for team-high honors with nine tackles each, with Carson adding 1.0 TFL. Michael Yancich made a career-high seven stops, combining with DaQuan Jones to stop Illinois running back Donovann Young from the one-yard line on the final play of the game.

Penn State led 21-0 at the end of the first half, having out-scored opponents 76-9 in the first half through the initial five games.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Oct. 6 — No. 24 Northwestern grabbed the momentum with a punt return touchdown late in the third quarter, but the Nittany Lion offense roared back with 22 consecutive points and the defense held the Wildcats over the final 16 minutes to deliver a stirring 39-28 comeback Homecoming victory.

A season-high 39 points helped the Nittany Lions (4-2, 2-0) win their fourth straight game and hand the Wildcats their first loss of the season. In the process, Bill O’Brien moved to 1-0 against Top 25 teams.

The momentum swung after Venric Mark took a punt 75 yards for a score with 50 seconds left in the third quarter for a 28-17 lead for the Wildcats.

Matt McGloin completed a school-record 35 passes on a career-high 51 attempts. Ten different receivers caught passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns. McGloin also ran for the go-ahead score with 2:37 to play.

Allen Robinson caught both touchdown passes, with the second coming on fourth-and-four, and the Nittany Lions trailing, 28-17. Robinson posted his third game of the season with nine or more grabs, making nine catches for 85 yards.

Zach Zwinak delivered his second con-secutive 100-yard rushing game, carrying the ball 28 times for 121 yards and adding a career-high six catches for 52 yards to post 173 all-purpose yards.

Penn State tied a 47-year-old school re-cord by running 99 offensive plays (vs. West Virginia, 1966). The Nittany Lions’ 22 fourth-quarter points were the most in a quarter since scoring 28 against Michigan State in the third quarter of a 42-14 win in 2009.

The Nittany Lions’ 30 first downs were their most in a game since a 2005 win over Minnesota (35) and they held the ball for 39:17, compared to Northwestern’s 20:43.

Penn State put the ball in the end zone on four of its five drives in the second half, including a three-yard plunge from Michael Zordich with 1:30 left to play.

Penn State’s defense held the fast-paced Wildcat attack to just 247 yards of total of-fense — 219 yards under their season aver-age — and forced six three-and-outs, includ-ing on each of their initial four possessions.

Gerald Hodges and Michael Mauti led the defensive charge with 11 and nine tack-les, respectively. Jordan Hill made eight tack-les, including a half sack.

IOWA CITY, Iowa; Oct. 20 — Penn State grabbed a 24-0 halftime lead and held Iowa to just 209 total yards to register a 38-14 primetime win over Iowa in Kinnick Stadium.

The Nittany Lions (5-2, 3-0) won their fifth consecutive game and snapped a four-game losing skid in Iowa City. Bill O’Brien tied a Penn State record, becoming the third first-year Nittany Lion head coach to post a five-game winning streak, joining George Hoskins (1892) and Dick Harlow (1915).

Penn State also became just the fifth team in Big Ten history, and the only one under a first-year head coach, to record five consecutive victories after starting the sea-son 0-2, joining the 1934 Purdue squad.

Penn State scored its most points in a true Big Ten road game since posting a 42-14 victory at Michigan State in 2009 and its most points at Iowa since a 41-27 win in 1995. The Nittany Lions eclipsed 500 yards for the first time in 2012 (504) and ran 90 plays.

Jordan Hill led a stellar Penn State de-fensive performance to earn his first career Big Ten Defensive Player-of-the-Week hon-or. He boasted a then-season-high nine tack-les, with 2.0 TFL and a sack. Hill’s selection marked the fourth time in a six-week span a Nittany Lion was named the conference’s top defensive player.

Penn State held Iowa to opponent season-lows in total yards (209) and rushing yards (20). The Nittany Lions forced three turnovers and held the Hawkeyes to 2-of-12 on third down.

The 2012 Big Ten Butkus-Fitzgerald Linebacker-of-the-Year, Michael Mauti had another outstanding effort, recording eight tackles, with a sack, and his third intercep-tion of the season. DaQuan Jones recov-

ered a fumble in the Iowa red zone, while C.J. Olaniyan and Anthony Zettel each had a sack to give Penn State four in the game.

Bill Belton became the 86th Nittany Lion all-time to rush for at least 100 yards when he posted 103 yards on 16 carries and three touchdowns. Belton’s third touchdown capped a 97-yard drive, which was Penn State’s longest of the season.

Matt McGloin was again highly effective, with a 26-of-38 effort for 289 yards and two touchdowns, with no interceptions.

Kyle Carter was named the Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Week after a season-high 85 receiving yards and six receptions. A career-long 34-yard catch and run on a fourth down conversion in Iowa territory set up McGloin’s touchdown pass to Robinson.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Oct. 27 — After igniting an already boisterous primetime crowd of 107,818 with a blocked punt for a touchdown to take the early lead, the Nittany Lions saw No. 7 Ohio State pull away in the second half to claim a 35-23 win, snapping Penn State’s five-game winning streak.

Penn State took a 7-0 lead on a brilliant special teams play by linebacker Mike Hull, who blocked Ben Buchanan’s punt from in-side his own 5-yard line, and senior Michael Yancich pounced on the pigskin in the end zone. It was the Nittany Lions’ first blocked punt for a touchdown since 2010, when An-drew Dailey blocked a punt and Jamie Van Fleet recovered it for a score against Indiana at FedEx Field.

Ohio State tied the game at 7-7 in the final minute of the first half and took the lead for good early in the second on a 17-yard in-terception return by Ryan Shazier.

Sam Ficken connected on a 27-yard field goal and Matt Lehman caught a two-yard touchdown pass from Matt McGloin, but the Buckeyes responded after both scores with touchdowns. Tight end Kyle Carter hauled in a 20-yard scoring strike with 1:41 to play to pull the Nittany Lions within 12.

McGloin threw for a then-career-high 327 yards, completing 27-of-45 passes, to tie Kerry Collins for the most career 300-yard passing games by a Penn State signal-caller with four. The senior spread his 27 comple-tions among nine receivers and connected with Lehman and Carter for scores. Carter made a game-high six catches for 77 yards, Allen Robinson had five receptions for 68 yards, including a 37-yard grab, and Bran-

don Moseby-Felder made four catches for 70 yards.

“Linebacker U.’s” All-Big Ten standouts, Gerald Hodges and Michael Mauti, were all over the field making plays against the Buck-eyes. Hodges recorded a team season-high-tying 14 tackles, including a 10-yard sack. Mauti tied his career-high with 13 tackles, matching his mark from the 2011 Alabama game. Defensive end Sean Stanley made a career-best seven stops with 1.5 TFL and 0.5 sacks and Mike Hull, Pete Massaro and James Terry also added sacks.

Penn State boosted its first-quarter scoring margin to 66-0 and its first-half ad-vantage to 117-30.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.; Nov. 3 — Penn State limited Purdue to its fewest points since 2008 en route to a 34-9 victory at Ross-Ade Stadium, as the Nittany Lions (6-3, 4-1) won for the sixth time in seven games.

The victory was Penn State’s third straight on the road to open Big Ten play. Bill O’Brien became just the fifth conference coach since 1950 to win his first three ca-reer Big Ten road games, joining Jim Valek (1967), Hayden Fry and Earle Bruce (1979), and Urban Meyer (2012).

Matt McGloin passed Kerry Collins on the Penn State career 300-yard passing games chart with 321 yards for his fifth such effort. McGloin was 22-of-36, with no inter-ceptions, and threw two touchdown passes in a fourth straight game. It also was the se-nior’s seventh straight 200-plus yard passing game, besting Collins’ school record of six, set during the Nittany Lions’ 1994 unbeaten Big Ten championship campaign.

Brandon Moseby-Felder delivered his best career game, hauling in six receptions for 129 yards and his first career touchdown, setting career-highs in all three categories.

Allen Robinson made five catches for 58 yards, as he closed in on the Penn State season receptions record. Jesse James made three receptions for 49 yards, includ-ing a 12-yard touchdown catch.

Zach Zwinak made his first career start and broke his career-high for the fourth time with a game-high 134 rushing yards on 21 carries. Michael Zordich ran for six and five-yard touchdowns in the first half and gained 33 yards and made one catch for 20 yards.

After Purdue kicked a field goal on its opening possession of the game, the Penn State defense did not allow the Boilermakers to score on their next 12 possessions to grab

control. Purdue scored its only touchdown on the final play of the game.

Gerald Hodges led the defense with eight tackles, including three tackles for loss. Stephon Morris made six solo stops, with 1.0 TFL, and Mike Hull had six hits. Sean Stan-ley recorded a sack and forced a fumble, while 2012 Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Year Deion Barnes forced a fumble.

Penn State allowed its initial first-quarter points of the season on a Purdue field goal with 12:59 remaining. The Nittany Lions were the last FBS team to not allow a first-quarter point. Penn State boosted its first-quarter scoring advantage to 76-3 and its first-half scoring edge to 137-33 after taking a 20-3 lead into the locker room.

LINCOLN, Neb.; Nov. 10 — Penn State got off to a fast start in its first visit to Nebraska as Big Ten rivals, but the Nittany Lions made three pivotal turnovers that helped the No. 18 Cornhuskers take a hard-fought 32-23 win on a blustery day in Memorial Stadium.

The Nittany Lions suffered their first Big Ten road loss of the season after three straight wins. Penn State’s fifth-year seniors compiled a 15-5 on-field career record in conference away games, winning at least one game in 10 of 11 stadiums.

Zach Zwinak got Penn State off to a fantastic start with a burst up the middle for a career-long and team season-long 50-yard touchdown run just 1:46 into the contest. Zwinak re-wrote his career rushing high for the fifth time of the season, gaining 141 yards on 21 carries.

Matt McGloin threw for 240 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.

Jesse James had two catches, includ-ing a 10-yard touchdown reception. Allen Robinson caught six passes for a game-high 97 yards.

Sam Ficken was 3-of-3 on field goal attempts, despite having a piece of debris blow into his eye during pregame warmups. Ficken connected from 27 and 38 yards in the first half and hit a 35-yard field goal to give Penn State its final lead at 23-20 mid-way through the third period.

The Penn State defense held Nebraska without a touchdown in the first half for the first time in 2012, and limited the Huskers to a season-low six first-half points.

Gerald Hodges and Glenn Carson each made a game-high 14 tackles. Michael Mauti recorded 10 hits and forced a fumble, Ste-

phon Morris had nine stops and a sack, and Deion Barnes made six tackles, with 3.0 TFL and a sack.

Nebraska scored a touchdown on its first two possessions of the second half, driv-ing 80 yards to open the half and immediate-ly followed that by grabbing an interception to set up a four-yard score to tie the game at 20-20.

After Nebraska took its first lead of the game at 27-23 with 10:57 to play, McGloin found Matt Lehman inside the three-yard line and as Lehman stretched the ball to try to cross the goal line, he was hit and the play was ruled a fumble, which the Huskers re-covered for a touchback with 7:39 to play.

Nebraska added a safety and field goal during the final 5:02 to boost its lead to two scores.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Nov. 17 — The Penn State defense recorded another scoreless first quarter, but trailed, 10-7, early in the second quarter against Indiana in Beaver Stadium. A 21-point second quarter gave Penn State the lead for good and the Nittany Lions rolled to a 45-22 victory over the Hoosiers.

It was a total team effort for the Nittany Lions, gaining a season-high 546 yards of total offense with a season-best 395 through the air.

The 45 points were Penn State’s most in a Big Ten game since tallying 49 against Michigan State in 2008. The total yardage was the most for the Nittany Lions since their 2009 meeting with Eastern Illinois (553) and their highest Big Ten total since gaining 557 yards against the Spartans in 2008.

McGloin connected with Allen Robinson on three touchdown passes, throwing four overall, and rocketed up a multitude of career and sea-son passing lists. McGloin was 22-for-32 for 395 yards — a career-best and the second-highest yardage in a game at Penn State. He became the leader in Penn State career touchdown passes with 45, passing Daryll Clark’s 43.

Robinson, the 2012 Big Ten Receiver-of-the-Year, hauled in a career-high-tying 10 passes for a career-best 197 receiving yards. The sophomore’s first catch of the game moved him past Bobby Engram and O.J. McDuffie on the season receptions chart with 63. Robinson’s 11 season touchdown catches rank tied for sec-ond in school history.

Zach Zwinak piled up 135 yards on a ca-reer-best 29 carries to become the 18th Penn

State runner to record five 100-yard efforts in the same season. The sophomore had one rushing score — his fifth on the ground — and caught one pass for 16 yards and another touchdown.

The Penn State defense forced three turn-overs and recorded five sacks. Gerald Hodges grabbed an interception and led all players with 12 tackles. Mike Hull added a career-high 11 stops, including a sack, and Stephon Morris tied his career-high with nine tackles for the second straight game.

Senior co-captain Michael Mauti suffered a knee injury in the first quarter that would sideline him for the final seven quarters of his career.

Placekicker Sam Ficken converted his sev-enth straight field goal attempt, a 28-yard kick in the fourth quarter.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Nov. 24 — The day began with an emotional pregame scene and regulation fittingly wasn’t enough in Penn State’s thrilling 24-21 Senior Day over-time victory over Wisconsin.

Sam Ficken’s 37-yard field goal pushed the Nittany Lions ahead in overtime and Wis-consin’s game-tying attempt sailed wide left to spark a wild celebration and cap one of the most memorable seasons in school history.

Penn State captured eight of its last 10 games, finishing 8-4 overall and 6-2 in the Big Ten, good for second place in the Lead-ers Division. The eight victories for Coach Bill O’Brien were the most by a first-year Penn State coach in the 126 years of the program.

Zach Zwinak carried the bulk of the load for the Penn State offense and re-wrote his yardage career-high for the sixth time of the season with 179 yards on 36 carries. His 179 yards boosted him to 1,000 rushing yards for the year and gave Penn State a 1,000-yard rusher for the eighth straight season.

Ficken was 3-for-3 on field goals, push-ing his consecutive field goals made streak to 10. The sophomore connected on kicks of 23, 32 and 37 yards to end the season 14-of-21.

Senior Matt McGloin was effective through the air in blustery winter conditions. He threw for 200 yards and a touchdown, in-cluding a go-ahead 41-yard scoring strike to Jesse James in the fourth quarter.

McGloin threw a touchdown pass in all 12 games in 2012 and broke 10 school records during his senior season, ending his career as one of the top passers in school history.

Allen Robinson made a game-high four catches for 35 yards, pushing his season to-tal to 77 catches for 1,013 yards. His season receiving yardage total was No. 3 in school history.

Jesse James grabbed three catches for a career-high 90 yards and his fifth score of the year, tying the school season record for touchdowns by a tight end.

Jordan Hill recorded a career-best 12 tackles, 3.0 TFL and two sacks. The senior stepped up when his team needed it most, boasting eight tackles and one sack in the fourth quarter and overtime to help him earn Big Ten Defensive Player-of-the-Week for the second time in 2012.

Glenn Carson made 13 tackles, one shy of his career-high, and Jake Fagnano picked off Wisconsin’s Curt Phillips in the fourth quarter to thwart a potential scoring drive.

Penn State won its third consecutive overtime game, moving to 3-3 in overtime contests.

BIG TEN CONFERENCE

BIG TEN CONFERENCESince its inception in 1896, the pursuit and attainment of academic

excellence has been a priority for every Big Ten member institution. But maintaining the conference’s status as one of the preeminent athletic conferences in the country also endures as an important component of the Big Ten student-athlete experience. Striking that balance between academics and athletics is integral to the Big Ten’s identity, and the Big Ten’s “Honoring Legends. Building Leaders.” campaign links directly to the Big Ten mission. Recognized as one of intercollegiate sports’ most successful undertakings, the Big Ten strives for success from its student-athletes not only on the field and in the classroom, but around the world as well.

ACADEMICSAll Big Ten universities have been granted Tier One Status by the

Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, a distinction awarded to just over 100 universities.

Big Ten schools have produced more than 1,450 Academic All-Americans, more than any other conference, including 46 in the last academic year.

For the 2011 fiscal year, the Big Ten led all conferences with over $8 billion in research expenditures, more than $2 billion more than any other conference.

SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMSDuring the 2012-13 year, Big Ten institutions claimed seven

national championships: Indiana men’s soccer, Michigan men’s gymnastics, Michigan men’s swimming and diving, Minnesota women’s ice hockey, Nebraska women’s bowling, Ohio State women’s rowing, and Penn State wrestling.

In the last 10 years, the Big Ten is tied for the conference lead with 14 NCAA-sponsored national championships, including bowling, cross country, fencing, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, track and field, volleyball, and wrestling.

BROAD-BASED PROGRAMMINGAlmost 1,400 Big Ten student-athletes and coaches have

participated in the Olympics, winning at least 460 medals, including nearly 250 gold.

Big Ten universities provide over $141 million in direct financial aid to more than 8,200 student-athletes playing on more than 300 teams in 42 different sports.

The Big Ten sponsors 26 official conference sports, 13 for men and 13 for women, including the debut of men’s ice hockey as an official conference sport this academic year.

In 2014-15, men’s and women’s lacrosse will be added as the conference’s 27th and 28th official sports, giving the Big Ten more official sports than all conferences other than the Ivy League.

PASSIONATE FOLLOWINGThe Big Ten leads all conferences with nearly five million alumni

and more than 460,000 students. Big Ten fans are some of the nation’s most supportive, with nearly 9.8 million patrons attending conference home contests during the 2012-13 seasons for football, men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball alone.

LEADERS IN INNOVATIONThe Big Ten Advisory Commission was formed in 1972. It enlists

former student-athletes to serve as liaisons to the NCAA’s Diversity and Inclusion Department, the Big Ten Student-Athlete Advisory Commission and other organizations.

The Big Ten became the first conference to voluntarily adopt male and female participation goals after launching its Gender Equity Action Plan in 1992.

The Big Ten implemented the first collegiate football system of instant replay in 2004, which the NCAA approved for use among all conferences in 2006.

In 2012, the Big Ten partnered with the Ivy League to study the effects of head injuries in sports.

In June 2013, Johns Hopkins University was accepted as the conference’s first sport affiliate member, allowing the debut of men’s lacrosse as an official conference sport in 2014-15.

TELEVISION EXPOSUREThrough the Big Ten’s media agreements with CBS Sports, ABC/

ESPN, FOX and the Big Ten Network (BTN), nearly 1,000 Big Ten events are produced and distributed nationally on an annual basis.

In 2006, the Big Ten created BTN, the first national conference-owned television network. With more than 53 million subscribers in the U.S. and Canada — and more outside the Big Ten region than inside — BTN allows fans to see their teams compete regardless of where they live.

➤ Land Grant Trophy

The Land Grant Trophy, established in 1993, is awarded to the winner of the Penn State-Michigan State game. It honors the universities as the nation’s two pioneer land-grant schools. Each was founded in 1855: Michigan State on February 12 and Penn State on February 22. The schools were the prototypes after which the land-grant system was patterned.

The trophy features images of the schools’ land-mark buildings — Penn State’s Old Main and Michigan State’s Beaumont Tower — and replicas of the Nittany Lion and the Spartan, the schools’ mascots.

➤ Governor’s Victory Bell

Commissioned in 1993, the Governor’s Victory Bell is presented to the winner of the Penn State-Minnesota contest. It first was awarded when the Golden Gophers provided the opposition for Penn State’s first game as a member of the Big Ten.

The trophy was commissioned by Pennsylvania Governor Robert Casey and Minnesota Governor Arne Carlson. The trophy features a brass bell bearing the medallion of the Big Ten Conference, the state seals of Minnesota and Pennsylvania and the athletic logos of each institution.

➤ Brown, Kwalick Big Ten Trophies

The Big Ten initiated the presentation of 18 trophies following the 2011 season and honors some of its all-time premier football student-athletes with the newly named awards, including Penn State’s Courtney Brown and Ted Kwalick.

The Big Ten awards the Smith-Brown Defensive Lineman-of-the-Year, recognizing the Nittany Lions’ Brown and Michigan State’s Bubba Smith. Brown was a consensus first-team All-American in 1999, breaking school records in career tackles for loss (70), career sacks (33) and season TFL (29). The 1999 Big Ten Defensive Player-of-the-Year, he was a three-time all-conference selection. Brown was the first overall pick in the 2000 National Football League Draft by the Cleveland Browns. Penn State senior defensive tackle Devon Still won the inaugural Smith-Brown Defensive Player-of-the-Year award in 2011.

The conference also presents the Kwalick-Clark Tight End-of-the-Year, honoring Penn State’s Kwalick and Iowa’s Dallas Clark. Kwalick was a first-team All-American in 1967 and ’68 and finished fourth in balloting for the 1968 Heisman Trophy. A first-round draft choice by the San Francisco 49ers and a three-time All-Pro, Kwalick was inducted into the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame in 1989.

The winners of the East and West divisions will play in the Big Ten Conference Championship game in primetime on Saturday, December 7, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Fox Sports is the official television partner of the 2011-16 Big Ten Championship games. Kickoff time is 8 p.m. for the contest.

Lucas Oil Stadium will be the site for the 2011-15 Big Ten Championship games.

The winner of the Big Ten Championship game will play in either the Rose Bowl game or Bowl Championship Series National Championship game.

The winning team in the Big Ten Football Championship game will receive the Stagg Championship Trophy. The trophy pays homage to Amos Alonzo Stagg, who won 199 games at the University of Chicago when the Maroons were Big Ten members.

LAMBERT-MEADOWLANDS TROPHY

Penn State won an unprecedented 28th Lambert-Meadowlands Trophy in 2009 as Eastern football’s top team.

In 1936, the Lambert brothers, Victor and Henry, of the distinguished New York City jewelry house that bears their name, established a memorial to their father, August — a trophy to be awarded to the outstanding Division I college football team in the East. In 1957, the Lambert Cup was instituted for Division II teams and, in 1966, the Lambert Bowl was added for Division III schools.

Fifteen schools have been awarded the Lambert-Meadowlands Trophy. Penn State has won more Lambert-Meadowlands trophies than any four schools combined.

Beaver Stadium, the home of the Nittany Lions, is one of the nation’s premier football venues.

Installation of seating to meet standards established by the Americans with Disabilities Act before the 2011 season resulted in a reduction of the stadium’s capacity to 106,572.

An expansion and renovation prior to the 2001 season added more than 12,000 seats, increasing the stadium’s capacity to 107,282 and easing the waiting list for season ticket requests from Penn State fans.

The second-largest stadium in the nation, the renovation and expansion added rest rooms and concession facilities, new scoreboards with video screens, and improved handicap access and pedestrian circulation patterns. Among the most visible additions to the venue were 60 skyboxes in a three-level structure erected above the east stands and an 11,500-seat two-tier upper deck located in the south end zone.

Beaver Stadium has more than doubled in size since it was moved from its former site northeast of Rec Hall on

the west side of campus to the east end of the campus in 1960.

Built in a horseshoe configurationseating 46,284, the stadium now towers 110 rows on the east side, 100 rows on the west, 60 in the lower end zones, 35 in the north upper deck, 20 in the club level above the south end zone and 25 in the south upper deck.

The Nittany Lions dedicated Beaver Stadium with a 20-0 victory over Boston University on Sept. 17, 1960. Penn State halfback Eddie Caye scored the venue’s firsttouchdownat10:45ofthefirstquarter.

Additions of over 2,000 seats in 1969 and more than 9,000 in 1972 raised the seating capacity to 57,538. Expanded bleachers in the south end zone in 1976 increased the seating capacity to 60,203.

A uniquely engineered expansion project during the winter, spring and summer of 1978 added more than 16,000 seats, upping the capacity to 76,639. The stadium was cut into sections, raised eight feet by hydraulic jacks and precast concrete seating forms inserted within the inner circle

of the stadium, where a running track previously was located.

In 1980, expansion increased the capacity to 83,770. Lights were added in 1984. In 1985, the addition of walkways around the tops of the end zones and entry ramps at the four corners resulted in reducing the capacity to 83,370.

The addition of a 10,033-seat upper deck in the north end zone in 1991 and portable seats on the north end zone concourse increased the stadium’s capacity to 93,967.

PennState’sfirstpermanentfootballvenue was Beaver Field, located between the present-day Osmond and Frear laboratories in the center of campus. Before that, games were played on the Old Main lawn.

The first game at 500-seat BeaverField was played on Nov. 6, 1893 against Western University of Pittsburgh (later to become the University of Pittsburgh). The 32-0 Penn State victory was delayed two days because of bad weather and played on a Monday afternoon.

New Beaver Field, located near Rec Hall, was dedicated in 1909 with a 31-0 win over Grove City. Originally constructed of wood, the stadium was converted to steel in 1936. The area also contained facilities for baseball, lacrosse,soccer,andtrackandfield.

New Beaver Field was the Nittany Lions’ home through the 1959 season, after which the 30,000-seat facility was dismantled in 700 pieces and moved one mile to the east side of campus. There it was reassembled with 16,000 new seats to form Beaver Stadium.

The stadium is named in honor of James A. Beaver. A lawyer in nearby Bellefonte at the outbreak of the Civil War, he enlisted in the Union Army as a second lieutenant and rose to the rank of brigadier general prior to his discharge in 1864. Beaver, who died in 1914, served as a superior court judge, governor of Pennsylvania and president of the University’s Board of Trustees. He is credited with being among the most influentialleadersinthedevelopmentofthe University at the turn of the century.

NITTANY LION TRADITIONS

➤ Nittany Lion Legend

Penn State’s athletic symbol, chosen by the student body in 1906, is the mountain lion which once roamed central Pennsylvania.

H.D. “Joe” Mason, a member of the Class of 1907, conducted a one-man campaign to choose a school mascot after seeing the Princeton tiger on a trip with the Penn State baseball team to that New Jersey campus. A student publication sponsored the campaign to select a mascotandPennStateisbelievedtobethefirstcollegeto adopt the lion as a mascot.

Since Penn State is located in the Nittany Valley at the foot of Mount Nittany, the lion was designated as a Nittany Lion. In regional folklore, Nittany (or Nita-Nee) was a valorous Indian princess in whose honor the Great Spirit caused Mount Nittany to be formed. A later namesake, daughter of chief O-Ko-Cho, who lived near the mouth of Penn’s Creek, fell in love with Malachi Boyer, a trader. The tearful maiden and her lost lover became legend and her name was given to the stately mountain.

➤ The “S” Zone

Organized in 1999 by the Penn State Lion Ambassadors, the student alumni corps, the “S” Zone revived one of the oldest traditions — Block S — in the student section at Beaver Stadium. Now formed when 700 underclassmen don coordinated blue and white t-shirts, the giant block “S” is a striking symbol visible throughout the stadium and captured regularly by national television cameras. The “S” Zone has had several locations over the years. The area is marked on the bleachers on Fridays before home games by volunteers from the Lion Ambassadors, who also seek sponsorships to offset the cost of printing the t-shirts and coordinate the delivery and distribution of t-shirts on game days.

➤ The Nittany Lion Shrine

Penn State’s Nittany Lion shrine was dedicated on Oct. 24, 1942, during Homecoming Weekend. Animal sculptor Heinz Warneke and stonecutter Joseph Garatti molded a 13-ton block of Indiana limestone into the most recognizable symbol of Penn State. The shrine was chosen from six models submitted by Warneke.

The shrine is a gift of the Class of 1940 and rests in a natural setting of trees near Recreation Building. The site was chosen because of its accessibility, the surrounding trees and the fact that the sculpture would not be dwarfed by nearby buildings.

➤ Blue & White

PennState’sstudent-athletesareinstantlyidentifiedby their blue and white uniforms — but those weren’t the original school colors.

A three-member committee representing the sophomore, junior and senior classes was appointed in October of 1887 to develop color options from which the student body would select the school’s official colors.Dark pink and black was the unanimous choice of the student body after considering the color combinations presented by the committee.

Soon many students and the baseball team were sporting pink and black striped blazers and caps. However, problems arose when the pink faded to white after several weeks of exposure to the sun. The students then opted for blue, rather than black, and white. The officialannouncementofthenewchoicewasmadeonMarch 18, 1890.

Since admitting its first students in 1859, Penn State has awarded more than 730,000 degrees, hallmarks of an educational experience second to none in quality. In addition, Penn State alumni — including nearly 320,000 in Pennsylvania alone — have job- and social-networking opportunities that no other college or university in the Commonwealth can surpass.

The University’s beginnings were humble. Chartered as acollegeofscientificagriculture,theinstitutionwaslocatedinrural Centre County after James Irvin, a partner in the Centre Furnace iron works (remains of which can be seen today along East College Avenue), offered to donate 200 acres of farmland for a campus.

Founding President Evan Pugh wanted Penn State to embody a new approach to higher education that blended classical studies with subjects that had practical value. He joined similar visionaries in other states in convincing Congress to pass the Morrill Land-Grant Act in 1862. The act gave individual states tracts of federal land to sell; the proceeds supported colleges that agreed to include engineering, science and the liberal arts as well as agriculture in their course of studies. In 1863, the Pennsylvania legislature designated Penn State the Commonwealth’s sole land-grant institution. The lawmakers in effect bestowed on the privately incorporated college a public character. In return for state support, the institution assumed obligations of teaching, research and service that are normally associated with publicly owned land-grant universities in other states.

By the 1890s Penn State was making its mark. It ranked among the nation’s 10 largest undergraduate engineering schools, a distinction it still holds. It established one of the nation’s first collegiate agricultural experiment stations, and

Professor Whitman Jordan’s pioneering research on using fertilizers for soil enrichment had global impact on crop yields. President George Atherton invigorated the liberal arts, and recruited Professor of English Fred Pattee to teach the nation’s first course inAmerican literature, heretofore considered anunworthy stepchild of English literature. Penn State in 1871 becameoneofthefirstland-grantschoolsintheNortheasttoadmitwomen,graduateditsfirstinternationalstudentin1890,anditsfirstAfrican-Americanstudentin1905.

In the early 1900s, President Edwin E. Sparks supported a number of efforts to “carry the college to the people,” as he liked to say. Technical institutes were established in various locations statewide for engineering education, beginning with an evening school in Allentown in 1910. In 1912, Penn State helped create a system of county agents in agriculture and home economics. Today’s World Campus, with its “anywhere, anytime” learning through the Internet, builds on that outreach tradition.

But undergraduate education remained foremost. As enrollment surpassed 5,000 students in 1936, Penn State became Pennsylvania’s largest source of baccalaureate degrees. Also in the 1930s, a state-wide system of undergraduate centers was created for students who, in the depths of the Great Depression, could not afford to leave their hometowns to get a college education. The centers offered the firstyearofbaccalaureatestudiesandwerethepredecessorsof today’s system of 19 primarily undergraduate campuses located throughout the Commonwealth.

Following World War II, Penn State underwent unprecedentedexpansion,firsttomeettheneedsofreturningmilitary veterans and later to accommodate the Baby Boom generation. Total enrollment at all Penn State campuses climbed to 40,000 by 1970.

The University also emerged on the national scene as a research powerhouse. Research first garnered internationalattention in fields as diverse as dairy science, acoustics,psychology, and diesel engineering. The expansion of research activities went hand in hand with a steady increase in the number of graduate students. The University awarded its first graduate degree — a master’s degree in scientificagriculture — in 1862, and the Graduate School was established in 1922. But overall graduate enrollment remained modest until the 1950s, then swelled steadily. By 2013, Penn State had awarded nearly 30,000 master’s, doctoral, and other advanced degrees.

Undergraduates,too,benefitedfromagreateremphasison research, as they had opportunities to work alongside world-renowned faculty in laboratories and in the field, thusenriching their educational experience in ways typically unavailable to undergraduates at smaller institutions.

Annual research expenditures now exceed $800 million, including about $500 million in federal research funds that Penn State brings to Pennsylvania, and $110 million in support from business in industry. The University’s research enterprise generates nearly $9 billion in total economic impact across the Commonwealth each year.

Penn State currently enrolls approximately 96,000 students on 25 campuses: the research and administrative hub at University Park; 19 primarily undergraduate campuses; Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, including the College of Medicine; the Pennsylvania College of Technology; the Penn State Dickinson School of Law, Carlisle campus; the Penn State Great Valley School of Graduate Professional Studies; and the Penn State World Campus.
