Austin Scott's Future

by carolinaeasy on Oct 8, 2007 9:01 AM EDT Comment 7 comments

Austin Scott is most likely done forever. He apparently broke team curfew Thursday. If that was all he did however, he would only have missed a half of the Iowa game.

According to several sources close to the team he alledgedly sexually harrassed a female in the State College area thursday night. Now these are UNFOUNDED RUMORS as of the moment but if these are true it is yet another black eye upon a program that I have taken pride in being, until recently, a disciplined, well behaved team.

If this is true we can expect to see more of Royster, who looked impressive with 87 yards until you consider that Kinlaw rushed for 160? yards himself. While he looked good I still do not know what to make of him. Either way it does appear as if we are not going to see 33 anytime soon.

Royster

Lost some time later in the game because he hurt his knee. I think I read on here somewhere that Paterno said it wasn't serious. Royster also didn't start the game. I think the yardages would have been more balanced if Royster hadn't been hurt. I'm excited to see him play again.

JoePa is my hero.

RE

The CDT is reporting that it was a thigh bruise...I have had those in a game not fun...defn hurt, you really can't thrust off with your quad at all.

Harrassment...

And assult are two totally different things. If it was harassment, I have a hard time thinking they'd throw anyone else off the team for that. I think they're just sick of Scott's act.

I think its a good step for the program. I know I stood up and said "Why Royster, hes done nothing?", but that was a solid Iowa defense, and he did very well. Him and Kinlaw (who I love) will be solid splitting time the rest of this season, and next year, I think we've found a 3 year starter.

Well I had also heard....

It was quite possibly a rape...I don't know anything for 100% so I didn't want to discuss that, I wanted to state what I knew for certain...Also in todays CDT there is an article about how AQ Shipley said it was being reported he was involved, does anyone have any info on this?

I agree I was pleased with the rushing performance, it was good to finnally see the lions controlling the trenches for a consistant period of time... Hopefully this continues because the world will be theirs for the picking if they do.

AQ

Originally when one of the stations in State College reported it, they said it was a O-Lineman. They later corrected themselves. Whether or not that's the reason AQ said that I don't know.
