This is a week light on new developments, so I might as well start with the one teased above. Last week, after Bill Belton and Akeel Lynch both ran for over 100 yards against Eastern Michigan, Penn State's official depth chart listed all the running backs--those two and Zach Zwinak--as starters, separated only by an "OR." But after a thoroughly dominant performance against UCF, fumble notwithstanding, Zwinak has been reinstalled as the lone starter. Not that it means anything. But consider how quiet this week was for that to be the lead.
Mike Hull played last week, but is day-to-day with a knee injury. That's literally the only piece of news we got from Bill O'Brien this week, aside from the continued absences of Brad Bars, DaeSean Hamilton, Brent Wilkerson, and Matt Lehman. Presumably, Evan Galimberti and DeShawn Baker are in some sort of quantum superposition of banged-up and healthy, though neither would likely see the field much anyway.
On to the depth chart, where the only changes are some exciting new ORs.
