Kevin Gorman: No defense for Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi’s costly call against Penn StateVideo

UNIVERSITY PARK — Pat Narduzzi dared to defend a decision that defied logic with an explanation that was inexplicable. The Pitt coach had his Panthers in perfect position to score an upset over No. 13 Penn State: Trailing by seven points, they had a fourth-and-goal at the 1 with 4...
Pitt opts for late FG try while down 7, loses to Penn StateVideo

UNIVERSITY PARK — If you left Beaver Stadium on Saturday wanting more from the 100th, and possibly final, game in the Pitt-Penn State series, you weren’t paying attention. Penn State’s 17-10 victory in front of a crowd of 108,661 had it all, including a lightning storm that delayed the start...
Kevin Gorman’s Take 5: Pat Narduzzi’s decision costs Pitt in final game against Penn State

Pitt and Penn State should play every year. Let’s start there. The 100th meeting between the schools, played after a 40-minute lightning delay and before a crowd of 108,661 at Beaver Stadium, showed the rivalry remains true. That it came down to the final seconds, a Hail Mary by Kenny...
Saquon Barkley shows love to fan snubbed by Cowboys’ DeMarcus Lawrence

Leave it to a Penn State grad to bring class to a classless situation. Last Sunday, after the Dallas Cowboys hosted the New York Giants in Arlington, Texas, 11-year-old Kamil Bautista was outside AT&T Stadium hoping to score an autograph or two from some players, reports TMZ. Along came Cowboys’...
Pitt-Penn State game kicks off 40 minutes late

STATE COLLEGE — The Pitt/Penn State game started at 12:40 p.m. — 40 minutes late — after the threat of lightning left the area. Prior to and during the delay, Penn State officials closed the gates, suspended entry into the stadium and cleared people who were already inside from uncovered...
What if Pitt loses to Penn State, but it’s a close game?

Here’s the thing — the most important thing — about the Pitt-Penn State game Saturday at Beaver Stadium: The outcome matters, of course, but how Pitt competes against the 13th-ranked team in the nation counts just as much. Unless the college football landscape changes dramatically over the next two months,...
Kevin Gorman: If Pitt wants to revive Penn State rivalry, the Panthers need to win

Pat Narduzzi and James Franklin spent the week talking about what makes Pitt-Penn State a great rivalry and all of the reasons why they can’t continue to play each other. That makes perfect sense, especially given the absurdity that Pitt and Penn State will play for the 100th time Saturday,...

Sean Clifford, Penn State’s big-play QB, looking to hit another gear

Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford has launched a quick start to his career, compiling the nation’s fourth-highest passer rating through the season’s infancy.

Penn State’s Antonio Shelton uses Twitter to teach fan a lesson

He got on Twitter. Appreciate everybody that came out to support tonight. But some...
Clairton graduate Lamont Wade finds happiness in Penn State secondary

After only two games as Penn State’s starting free safety, Lamont Wade can remember only one other time when he was this happy playing football. “Probably 2016 against Farrell in a state playoff (victory),” said Wade, a Clairton graduate who won three WPIAL championships and earned berths in two PIAA...
Penn State’s James Franklin recalls with fondness his ties to Pittsburgh

When James Franklin ponders playing Pitt this week, probably during nearly every one of his waking moments, he’ll think of Kenny Pickett and Maurice Ffrench (who he unsuccessfully tried to recruit) and the best way to defeat the Panthers on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. But Penn State’s coach also allowed...
Penn State uses big 3rd quarter to pull away from Buffalo

UNIVERSITY PARK — Sean Clifford turned in an all-around performance in another lopsided win for Penn State. Clifford threw for 280 yards and four touchdowns and ran 11 times for 51 to lead the No. 15 Nittany Lions back from a halftime deficit to beat Buffalo, 45-13, on Saturday night....
No. 15 Penn State looks to keep rolling against Buffalo

UNIVERSITY PARK — When Buffalo coach Lance Leipold looks at Penn State’s roster, he sees a team that can attack in waves with few weaknesses. At least none jumped out when he watched No. 15 Penn State (1-0) rout Idaho, 79-7, last week. “They just kept rolling in more guys...
Kittanning’s Nick Bowers set for happy, healthy senior year at Penn State

Penn State tight end Nick Bowers has seen the glory college football can provide, scoring a touchdown on his first career catch in 2017 against Nebraska and finding the end zone again in the Citrus Bowl against Kentucky last season. He’s also seen the despair the game sometimes engenders, missing...
