Powell. Brandon Beacheni scored the last touch
down of Penn State's merciless run of the hoard.
Alter 52 unanswered points, the Chanticleers hit a
field goal as time expired to bring their score to dou
ble dieiis.
Clark, who started as Penn State's quarterback,
went 11 of 14 for 146 yards, his sole touchdown
pass to Norwood being the highlight of his first start
lor the Nittanv Lions.
"When you first start, you want everything to go
right." the senior said. "I don't think I got touched
The Nittanv Lions' punishing ground attack likely
diverted some of the heat from their new' starter. The
Penn State runners combined for 334 yards and five
touchdowns. "I always told myself to set goals."
said Green, a promising Penn State freshman. "My
goal was to get three (touchdowns) and I got twm. 1
tried to catch up with Royster when he got three.
Two was my real goal, and I got that."
When players are setting goals for three touch
downs. the teams may be a tad bit mismatched.
Coastal Carolina coach David Bennett had nothing
but great things to say about the team that collec
tively sat his team down and taught them how to
play football. "They are a good football team," said
Bennett. "They are one of the best in the country. 1
think they will be top ten in the country."

"I haven't even thought about it and I'm not going
to." said Palerno. "I can only say it so many times.
It's not a big deal to me. I just can't seem to get that
across." JoePa is now in his 42nd season as Penn
State's head coach, and 57th as a stall member - the
same amount of games that Coastal Carolina has
played as an organization.
This weekend, the Nittanv Lions will take on the
Oregon State Beavers in Happy Valles. This will be
the first time that the teams have met.
Based on the statistics from the first week. Penn
State has a huge advantage on the ground: the
Nittany Lions gained 344 yards w hile Oregon State
only gained 86. This week. Penn State will run up
against the best run defense in 2007 - Oregon State
held their opponents to 2.1 yards per carry
Of course, the Beavers faced a more formidable
opponent than Coastal Carolina: they fell 28-35 to
Stanford.
Wide receivers Sammie Stroughter and Shane
Morales will play a key role for the Beavers in the
matchup. Oregon State has to go to the air to move
the ball this week, and the two combined for 308
yards and three TDs last week.
However, if the Beavers rely too much on their
passing game, the Penn State defense will have a
field day with sophomore quarterback Lyle Moevao.
They must balance his arm with their ground game
in order to move the ball against Penn State's stingy
defense.
THREE PSU PLAYERS
SUSPENDED FROM
SATURDAY’S GAME
Three Penn State football players w ill not suit up
for Saturday's game against Oregon Slate: Maurice
Evans. Abe Koroma and Andrew Quarless.
While no charges have been filed ai time of pub
lication. Head Coach Joe Paterno suspended the
three after marijuana was found in their apartment.
"They have responsibility to their teammates."
Paterno said on his radio show Thursday night.
"And if they do something as dumb as it appears
they did. and I'm not say ing if they did or they did
n't yet. but even being close to that kind of thing. I'm
not going to play any one of those three kids this
weekend."
Police were called to an excessively loud party
and found the drues in their search of the rooms. The
investigation is still ongoing.
The apartment was also shared by cornerback A.J.
Wallace, who Paterno said was not invoked in the
situation. Wallace will be allowed to play against
Oregon State this weekend.
