After many ups and downs this season, here is what went into this Rutgers win and what is next for the team. Rutgers Win: Spotlight Players The Scarlet Knights winning was a team…

This is the second week of my underestimated player spotlight, where I discuss players who are not usually acknowledged by the national media. This week I highlight a player who is not on a great team and is a defender. Being a defensive player on a team with a poor or average record is difficult. Even if it is not their direct fault, they will not be discussed amongst the top players in the league. This week’s underestimated player spotlight is Colts Linebacker Zaire Franklin. Underestimated Player: College Years Zaire Franklin played football at Syracuse for four years before entering the…

Penn State’s White Out is this weekend against the Minnesota Gophers. The White Out is a cherished and extraordinary tradition at Penn State University.

This week leading up to the game, I look back on the Nittany Lion’s loudest and most energized tradition. Penn State’s White Out: A History The first White Out took place in 2004. The team was not really good and struggled to get any wins. In order to boost energy, the former director of…

After a devastating loss to Michigan, there is one PSU position that needs the most help. The Penn State Nittany Lions lost 41-17, against the Michigan Wolverines. This was Penn State’s first loss of the season. While the defense could not stop the run, before the game against Michigan they were doing a decent job there. What has not done a great job is a different PSU position. Penn State’s offensive line has consistently been in a rough position and it was even more noticeable during their loss against Michigan. A poor offensive line can impact teams in multiple ways…

For this week’s Big Ten preview, I am highlighting Penn State at Michigan. Penn State is 5-0 coming off a bye week, and Michigan is 6-0. One of these two teams will no longer be undefeated after Saturday. With Penn State at Michigan, the Nittany Lions will look to break Michigan’s win streak this season. They will also look to move up in the AP top 25 College Football poll. Last 5 Matchups Penn State has won three out of five of their past matchups against Michigan, according to gopsusports.com.  Of the three wins, two were home games for the…

Braxton Berrios has been in the NFL ever since being drafted in 2018. Berrios currently plays for the New York Jets and has since 2019. He moved to the Jets after spending one year with the Patriots. Braxton Berrios is heavily underestimated by the national media, being overshadowed by teammates such as wide receiver Denzel Mims, who has not even played a snap this 2022 season. Braxton Berrios College Before the NFL, Berrios spent four years in college with the Miami Hurricanes. According to SportsReference.com, Berrios totaled 1175 receiving, 72 rushing, and 488 yards on the return. The 72 rushing yards…
