Welcome back. Here are some links to college football stories around the internets.We begin, of course, with Penn State.
ESPN.com’s Big11Ten blogger Adam Rittenberg has a nice story about Daryl Clark. You might be shocked when you read about it, but it looks like Jay Paterno was pushing for Clark to play last season when Morelli was struggling. For the first time in our lives, we couldn’t agree more with Jay Paterno. -E!SPN-
Speaking of Jay, is it time to give him credit? -Altoona Mirror-
I doubt we will ever swallow our pride and credit the man. But it is nice to see the playbook open up this year after the last two years of blandness, as the column mentions.

Joe’s not sure if Norwood will play this weekend. -GoPSUSports-
It’s been a rough week for Josh Hull. He had a mediocre performance on Saturday, and Cory Giger of the Altoona mirror says he has to step up. -Altoona Mirror-
Black Shoe Diaries also took some shots at Hull. Let’s hope the criticism fires him up, because linebacker play will be crucial against the Badgers and Buckeyes.
The CDT points out how much Penn State benefited from all the Top Ten teams losing over the weekend. We’d like to point out that it’s week 6, we still have 7 games and we could care less about the rankings right now. -CDT-
Seriously, just count the number of national championship mentions in those articles above. Everyone needs to take a cold shower and stop trying to jinx the team.
In other college football news, Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio says he isn’t worried about stud running back Javon Ringer being overworked. Maybe he should be, as Ringer is averaging just over 37 carries a game. -MLive.com-
People are definitely taking notice of Ringer, as he is getting some early Heisman talk, and Rivals has him at the top of their running back power rankings, while our own Evan Royster is 16th. Not sure why Beanie is still #2 when so many others have done so much more this year, but oh well. -Rivals-
Check out the other position power rankings as well, you may see some familiar names.
Terry Bowden says that Michigan gained a lot of confidence this past weekend. -Rivals-
Hey, we're glad Wisconsin lost to Michigan. It makes the Badgers look much more vulnerable, but we don’t want Michigan to be brimming with confidence when they visit the Beav. Just thinking about the last few games against them gives us panic sweats. Still, we have a tough time being too worried about Steven Threet.
Moving outside of the Big11Ten, here's a story on BYU and it's coach, Bronco Mendenhall. That is maybe the coolest coach name ever, and it's definitely the weirdest. Also, BYU sounds like a horrible college choice if you enjoy fun. -No Short Shorts-
Oregon State will try to knock off another undefeated team this weekend when they face Utah. We don't know what the hell they were doing when they played Penn State, but obviously they've ironed out some issues. -Beavers-
We've seen Boise State games before last night, but we never noticed this:

Finally, here are 5 good games to pay attention to this weekend. We’re particularly interested in that middle one. -Rivals-
Preview is coming tomorrow as usual.
