Punt returns it will probably be Royster and the other kid, the little Italian kid that can run, the safety, (Drew) Astorino.
From Joe's news conference. God I love how he describes things.

I don’t want to see Royster returning punts. I want to save him for his actual position and I also don’t really see a lot of return speed coming from him. Why not have Devon Smith out there returning punts, or is he going to be way too small for that?
Totally agree
- to not “over-use” ’Rolls. I have a “hankering” that lil D is in the mix @ practice for these duties…but in the back pocket ( not just b/c he fits in tharrrrr ).
I liken his size as an asset / coupled with his ZOMZ speed. “You can catch what’ca can’t see!” Double entendre…fo’ ’sho!
/but Im too country for such thoughts

Don't sound too country
Sound more like you’ve been beltin back a few of these:

Orlando Jones and Eddie Griffin, proving that you really do think they all look alike, don’t you?
Bacon is almost as great as being a Penn Stater
Yeah, never got down with Billy Dee
Respect, mind you, but just never dabbled in personal experience.
My forties were 90% OE (actually, about 80% of those were 64ozs instead, purchased at the redneckiest cracka ass bar on the mountain, ironically named Chocolate Park, on the way up 15 to throw down at the Vault in harrisburg; miss that place), 8% Mickeys and 2% St. Ides, mostly in a nod to Ice Cube.

I'm almost certain it'll be just Astorino.
I cite the long tradition of such lackluster PSU punt returners as Calvin Lowry and Anthony Scirrotto.
I am sensing an Italian Bias
I wish he would use Green or someone who has a chance to break one for a TD. But I guess if it comes down to making the right decision and actually holding on to the ball Astorino will probably get the job done.
Success without honor is an unseasoned dish; it will satisfy your hunger, but it won't taste good.
not sure if i want green and his
TIki Barber like fumbling problems….Put the Water Bug (Devon Smith) back there and let him do his thing….

Italian Bias...
I see it now. Other Itailians who had no right returning punts: Joe Nastasi, Jimmy Cefalo, John Cappelletti
Not sure I am remembering correctly...
but didn’t JoePa say at a press conference one time that he preferred having a safety fielding the punts, in case of a fake or something? Though that doesn’t really mesh with having DWill back there last year, so maybe not.
Often last year they had Scrots and DWill at the same time.
DO YOU HAVE PRIDE, DANNY?

when DWheels
would fumble…#7 would always be back there the next punt…..
We need game changers back there….i want someone to open up the game (like Williams did vs Wisconsin)

Couldn't agree more ...
I’m not exactly excited about Astorino as a safety, much less a punt returner. Something about him gives me a Derek Fox vibe.
I thought Astorino looked fine in L/I at SF L/Y.

you're right
joe said he wanted AS back in situations where they were on our side of the field just in case there was a fake
No one loves white dudes playing safety
more than Penn State. We’ve cornered the market, quite frankly.
HAHAHAHA
I heard this and it gave me a good laugh
