Penn State tweets of the day
The rest of the Penn State-Michigan State predictions can be found in the headlines section, but ESPN’s SP+ does like the Lions to win on the road.
Skipping ahead to the recruiting front, PSU has made the cut for three Class of 2023 players.
IMG Academy four-star defensive lineman Will Norman, Pittsburgh four-star safety Ta’Mere Robinson, and Corona, Calif., four-star corner Aaron Williams all included the Lions on their shortlists.
Also, in the Class of 2022, four-star Class of 2022 safety Larry Turner-Gooden put Penn State in his top-five. He’s not expected to end up in State College, but if things change with the makeup of the current PSU class, then perhaps it might decide to push hard prior to a Jan. 8 announcement. Time will tell.
Penn State Class of 2022 commit Ken Talley had a huge day in his high school’s Thanksgiving Day game.
Finally, it shouldn’t surprise anyone, but Micah Parsons is now the Dallas Cowboys’ single-season sacks leader for a rookie. He set the mark in Wednesday’s home loss to Oakland.
Amani Oruwariye also had a turkey day interception, which gave him five on the year. That’s tied for the most ever in one season by a former Penn State player, according to the Detroit Lions.

Quote of the day
“Penn State was a great visit as well. Overall it is a good program and the legacy there keeps running. With Coach (James) Franklin signing the 10 year contract, I know he’s not leaving. After taking my visit to the White Out game, I knew Penn State was going to be a top school for me.”
