On Campus: 2010 Penn State Nittany Lions Preview

In this installment of On Campus we will take a look at the 2010 Penn State Nittany Lions and what the season holds for them. Last season Penn State went to another Bowl Game and beat LSU in a very close game. First let's check out their schedule and how the team looks.

Sep. 4 Youngstown State
Sep. 11 at Alabama
Sep. 18 Kent State
Sep. 25 Temple
Oct. 2 at Iowa
Oct. 9 Illinois
Oct. 23 at Minnesota
Oct. 30 Michigan
Nov. 6 Northwestern
Nov. 13 at Ohio State
Nov. 20 vs. Indiana @Landover, MD
Nov. 27 Michigan State

The schedule is interesting this year for Penn State. They have a tough early game at Alabama on Sept 11th. Road games also at Iowa and Ohio State may prove to be tough as well. Besides the Alabama game and a few tough road games not too bad at all.

Penn State will be breaking in a new quarterback as Daryll Clark will be a key loss for the Nittany Lions. They should be fine though as Joe Paterno will just plug another quarterback in. Clark will be missed though. The offensive line and running backs look to be good this year for Penn State as well. On defense the Nittany Lions will be led by Navorro Bowman a frontrunner for the Butkus Award and the defensive line has three players with solid starting experience. Penn State always plays great defense, but the key this year will be how well the starting quarterback handles his duties and runs the offense. Losing a veteran like Clark will take some time to adjust too. The Lions are a Top 10 team this year if they can stay healthy and get some breaks along the way.
