Penn State Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:36:10 PST

Penn State's case for a BCS bowl game will be about more than just what has been achieved on the football field this season.

"Our fans are our best argument," Penn State quarterbacks coach Jay Paterno said of a massive group that will travel in bunches to see the Nittany Lions play anywhere. "But we tried to put on a pretty good show today."

The Nittany Lions capped a 10-win regular season with a 42-14 demolition of Michigan State on Saturday in East Lansing. Quarterback Daryll Clark threw four touchdown passes, the first-team defense allowed only seven points to one of the Big Ten's top offenses and Penn State's special teams were good enough to avoid any trouble.

The Big Ten season is over and it's a long, long wait until Bowl Championship Series bids get doled out Dec. 6. The wait may be particularly stressful for No. 12 Penn State. The Nittany Lions (10-2, 6-2) closed out the regular season Saturday with a convincing 42-14 win at Michigan State. But now they risk falling off the football radar while teams from the SEC, Big 12, Big East and other...

Penn State plans to adjust its season-ticket pricing guidelines in 2011 to account for where people sit in Beaver Stadium. Some fans might have to fork over more money to the booster club to stay in their seats, or can pay the same amount but possibly be moved to a less desirable location -- say someone going from seats on the 40 to behind the end zone.

Prospects for bowl, top juniors unclear at Penn St (AP)

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 12:58:56 PST

Penn State's bowl prospects are about as cloudy as the future of its two top juniors. Wherever the Nittany Lions end up -- with a BCS bowl still a possibility -- that game could be the last in blue and white for linebacker Navorro Bowman and tailback Evan Royster. All they did Saturday were make the big plays to help avoid an upset to Indiana on Senior Day, when stars like linebacker Sean Lee...
