Today's

news headlines feature a break for the Nittany Lions' offensive line and more on a pair of freshmen expected to start against Minnesota.

Minnesota freshman defensive end Tai'yon Devers has been ruled out for Saturday's game at Beaver stadium with a left ankle injury. The 6-4, 215-pounder registered three of the Golden Gophers' nine sacks in last week's 31-24 win over Colorado State, including a bone-jarring hit that knocked off quarterback Collin Hill's helmet.

Penn State will turn to a pair of true freshmen of its own to start against Minnesota in guard Connor McGovern and linebacker Cam Brown. McGovern has overtaken Derek Dowrey for the starting job at right guard, while Brown makes his starting debut as injuries continue to ravage the Lions' linebackers.



Fight On State's Mark Brennan has plenty more on McGovern and Brown.



In other Penn State football headlines, James Franklin talks to the press and wants everybody "to take a deep breath." The Nittany Lions will stick with zone run plays, and will not "overreact" to the Michigan loss.

PennLive's Bob Flounders, Greg Pickel and Dustin Hockensmith also talk Penn State football on the Keystone Sports Network. Check out audio from their latest recruiting podcast below.
