Father-Son Bonding at Big 33 football game

b'By: Matthew Brady\\nMatt and Steve head to Hershey to sit together and watch the Big 33 football game together for some father-son bonding, as they scout and give their thoughts on football players that will be at Penn State this fall, along with just a summary of the game.\\nThere were three players that are heading to Penn State, Drew Astrino, Derek Moye, and Nathan Stupar\\nDerek Moye was very impressive in my opinion. He had a knack of getting open during the game. I think if the Pennsylvania QB kept his eyes downfield while scrambling, Moye would have had more stats. Moye is tall and his speed was impressive. He played very well in that game IMO.\\nNathan Stupar did not do much during the game from what I saw (of course, i was not in the best seat in the house at the game). Why he did so little though comes with reason. Every time I looked he was being double teamed by Ohio. He couldn\\u2019t shed the double team, but he was still pushing them back. He looked good.\\n\\nDrew Astrino impressed me the most. He seemed to have been all over the field on defense and really kept his head on a swivel, as he was tested quite a few times laterally. It seemed as though he stayed stride for stride with his match ups and just knocked the balls down. I was not expecting so much from him.\\nMeanwhile, Pitt commits, Henry Hynoski and Chris Jacobson, did not do much to catch my attention, other than when Jacobson started to get into a fight that was thankfully broken up soon after. Penn State\\u2019s recruits outshined Pittsburgh by far.\\nWe went on to talk about the upcoming Penn State season, as I mentioned the players that excite me to watch the most. There were many players that could fall in that category, but I finally narrowed it down to two.\\n\\nOffense-Anthony Morelli: not just because he has a year under his belt or even just because of the Tennessee game, though that definitely helps. My real reason to be excited about Morelli is not about him. It\\u2019s about those around him that he can use this year. You might be asking, \\u201cWhat\\u2019s the difference between 06 and 07 for his supporting cast?\\u201d The emergence of taller players, that are also playmakers, will help us score in the endzone, instead of just a field goal. They players I\\u2019m talking about are players like Andrew Quarless and Chris Bell. Those two are going to be stars and they\\u2019re going to fix our problem of getting into the redzone. Any Penn State fan would know that we get to the redzone then stall out. All of our WRs other than Golden were below 6 foot, making fade passes be tough to execute in the endzone.\\nOthers that I thought of here: Andrew Quarless, Chris Bell, Offensive line, Austin Scott, Derrick Williams\\nDefense-AJ Wallace: This was tough, as there is so much going on with the defense. I could have picked any 57 young, but talented, D linemen that we have. AJ Wallace though is the one that I want to see the most. He played in big games, like Justin King as a freshman. He\\u2019s got speed, not to mention he can bring kickoffs to the endzone. Never the less, Wallace is that added dimensions that keeps defenses from wanting to throw the ball at all. You cant throw it go King\\u2019s side, (and Scirrotto if he\\u2019s able to play), and it\\u2019s not like our SS, Davis isn\\u2019t experienced in covering a player, as the CB experience probably helped him. So who do you throw it to? The quarterback would have to throw to Wallace\\u2019s side, the youngest player in the secondary. I expect to see some INTs from him this year.\\nOthers that I thought of here: Navarro Bowman Tony Davis, Aaron Maybin,), Jared Odrick, Maurice Evans, Phillip Taylor\\nNFL News:\\n\\u201cIt\\u2019s Division 1 football! It\\u2019s the Big 12\\u201d- Dan Hawkins\\nWhere was that speech from Oakland Raider\\u2019s head coach Lane Kiffin? I was thoroughly disappointed in him. He just rolled over when the player union complained about, \\u201cmini-camp being too hard.\\u201d I did not see the reaction I was expecting with the press conference that followed.\\nC[...]'
