Blue White Football Podcast #28

Finally back into the full swing of our final semester at Penn State, Mike & Ryan are back for some thoughts on the Outback Bowl. The guys also get into some other stories surrounding the Nittany Lions including the news that Austin Scott has declared for the NFL Draft according to ESPN.com, some recruiting news and a look ahead to this weekend's Senior Bowl. It may be the offseason for PSU but there is still plenty of news in this edition of the Blue White Football Podcast.

The Outback Bowl 2007

After an 8-4 regular season without a marquee victory the Nittany Lions traveled to Tampa, Florida for a January 1st matchup with the #17 Volunteers of Tennessee. Join Mike & Ryan for this final play by play broadcast of the 2006-07 season as Penn State dominated the Vols on their way to a 20-10 win.

#40 Dan Connor is Returning to Penn State!

After what seems to be an early offseason where every big time player on every big team is making the leap to the NFL, Penn State's Dan Connor is coming back for his final season with the Nittany Lions. Clearly the great performance in the Outback Bowl has given everyone confidence in the Lions heading into next year and with Connor returning to lead a solid defensive unit there is no doubt that the Penn State D will once again be one of the best in the nation.

A guy like Poz is obviously irreplaceable, but with Dan Connor, Sean Lee, Jerome Hayes, Tyrell Sales, and others carrying on the tradition of Linebacker U, next year looks to be another great season for Penn State Football. Only 231 days till FIU comes to Happy Valley! (Hopefully the Lions can avoid a fight)

Outback Bowl Highlight Video

The Lions finally put everything together in this season's finale against the Volunteers in the Outback Bowl, with an impressive 20-10 win, negating all of that SEC speed. This great rundown of the Bowl game was created by Rob Yanovitch from NC, check out some of his other videos on YouTube. Big thanks go out to Rob for putting together a great video. The big win over the SLOWER Volunteers, helped the Lions finish at #24 in the AP poll and sets them up for a great 2007.

The spring semester starts up next week, so Ryan & Mike will finally be back together to give their full reaction to the Outback Bowl, some thoughts on recruiting, and an initial outlook on the 2007 season.

Oh..and Dan Connor is returning to Penn State for a National Championship season!
