Yesterday the College Football season offically began across the country, I partook in the festivities in Happy Valley. After a 4 hour drive and a 2 mile hike through mud and rain we made it to the first bar we could find, Bill Pickle’s Tap Room. There we caught some early games on television and warmed our souls with a couple pitchers of beer before heading to the stadium.

Besides the continous rain the game was good and oddly enough there was really no running game by either team. Penn State managed to pull away late in the third quarter for a 34-16 victory. Penn State’s Quarterback Athony Morelli made his collegiate debut yesterday against Akron going 16-of-32 206 yards with three touchdowns.

The photograph above was my view from the game. As you can see it was pretty wet.

This past Saturday I visited Happy Valley for what was a sloppy but good football game. The Nittany lions of Penn State defeated the Golden Knights of Central Florida 37-13. Despite several turnovers by senior quarterback Zack Mills (4 fumbles, 2 INTs) the Lions managed to win their third game of the season by more than 20 points. Tony Hunt lead Penn State with 125 yards for 3 touchdowns.
