PENN STATE STARTERS
- Only notable change amongst Penn State's starters this week is Cam Miller starting in palce of Jalen Kimber who started last week opposite of A.J. Harris.
- Nothing too surprising on this week's availability report outside the inclusion of redshirt freshman tight end Andrew Rapplyea who is OUT for today's game. Khalil Dinkins is good to go and is warming up on the field. Expect to see Tyler Warren, Dinkins, and fresehman Luke Reynolds see snaps today at tight end perhaps even some Joey Schlaffer and Jerry Cross depending on the situation.
The full availability report is below.
- Do not see Grunkemeyer warming up today. He was listed as questionable.
