Defense
silences
Golden
Flashes
By Brendan Monahan
COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER
Taking the field against Kent
State for the first time on
Saturday, the Penn State
defense was missing a vital
piece.
The Nittany Lions’ leading
returner in sacks and the defen
sive line’s anchor, Jack
Crawford, was one of several
players who saw decreased
time. He didn’t take the field
until late in the first quarter due
in part to what Penn State defen
sive coordinator Tom Bradley
called a hip injury, and he may
not have played if the Lions were
able to meet the speed of the
Golden Flashes early on.
“We stuck him in there when
they started to hurt us outside,”
head coach Joe Paterno said.
There were some lesser
known faces taking the field for
the Nittany Lions on both sides
of the ball in Penn State’s 24-0
win over Kent State on Saturday.
The changes occurred after a
tough week in practice, where
coaches let the players know
several positions were up for
grabs.
Safety Drew Astorino and
defensive end Eric Latimore did
n’t play in their normal roles.
Because of a lingering shoulder
injury, the coaching staff relegat
ed Astorino to the nickel pack
age in the second half, while red
shirt junior Andrew Dailey took
over safety in the base defense.
Bradley said Astorino also
missed a tackle, leading safeties
coach Kermit Buggs to replace
him with Dailey. A similar situa
tion happened to cornerback
Stephon Morris, who Bradley
took out for one play after he
failed to make a tackle.
“We told them that was the
message that was going to be
sent ahead of time,” Bradley
said. “That look, ‘This is the way
we’re going. We’re not going to
tolerate this. We got to be able to
tackle.’ And that was the point of
emphasis all week.”
Pete Massaro and Sean
Stanley started for Crawford and
Latimore because the latter two
dealt with nagging injuries.
Crawford and Astorino missed
two days of practice this past
week, while Latimore was
“banged up” heading into the
game.

“This is going to have a tremen
dous impact on the university, not
just with the hockey programs but
across the board,” Curley said at
the Nittany Lion Inn.
Spanier announced the dona
tion in the morning to the Board of
Trustees prior to the athletic
press conference.
Plans for a new ice facility were
also announced as part of the
Pegulas’ donation. The facility will
be located next to Holuba Hall and
across the street from the Bryce

Seth Meyers said that when peo

“I have the tendency to be sar

into a story about making a snide,

much larger than himself.
That comment, Meyers said,
resulted in a punch to the face.

Panel weighs
alcohol efforts
By Micah Wintner
COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER
Vice President for Student
Affairs Damon Sims’ report on
Penn State’s new alcohol mitiga
tion efforts
silenced the
Nittany Lion Inn
boardroom at
the Board of
Trustees meet-
ing Friday.
“We have not
found the suc
cess we seek Sims
despite years of
expended effort, energy and
funds,” Sims told the board.
“Decades of good intent and
effort and millions of dollars
later and no college or university
in America... can honestly claim
to have solved this problem.”
Sims and a panel representing
various parts of Penn State pre
sented a new strategy at the
meeting on efforts to reduce the
university’s alcohol-related
issues.
Sims told the board of his per
sonal involvement with the case
of Joe Dado, the Penn State
freshman who died Sept. 20,2009
after consuming alcohol during
a party at Phi Gamma Delta
(Fiji) fraternity.
“I am the person who walked
into a small r00m... to tell
[Dado’s] mother and father and
two sisters that their son and
brother was dead,” Sims said.
“Only I know how terrible that
moment was for me.”

awesome it was there compared
to the United States.
Those people also slip in foreign
words into their everyday speech,
he added, joking that Shakespeare
wanted everyone to know he lived
in Latin when he wrote “Et tu,
Brute.”
Meyers also talked about losing
to 13-year-old boys on X-Box Live,
why 13-year-old girls love
“TWilight” and how nobody should
own a pet monkey.
