PENN STATE AT INDIANA
This game was actually a lot better than I thought. It was homecoming for Indiana and a coming out party for IU receiver James Hardy. It was a classic matchup of receiver vs corner which led to a number of great plays. 2 late mistakes by Kellen Lewis changed the tide of the game, and the Hoosiers had to fight to get back in it.
James Hardy 82 6' 7.0" 215 4.60 WR 2009 A guy I have loved for a few years now, put on a catching clinic. Only uses his hands to grab passes. He was used perfectly on one pitch-and-catch play in the endzone in the 4th to get the score within 5. Has great straight line speed, attacks the line, and is physical at the point of attack. Has been working with Tom Shaw on quickness and agility. Also rumored to run in the 4.4 range. I fully expect him to declare after this year and be one of the first receivers taken. VERY POSITIVE
Kellen Lewis 0' 0.0" 0 0.00 QB 2010 A junior Dennis Dixon, has the arm and legs to make big plays. Only a sophomore, sees the whole field and evades the sack. Made 2 costly mistakes late which eventually led to PSU field goals which iced the game. He is going to be fun to watch in the future because he possess a lot of skills. I don’t know if he’s an NFL QB, but is going to be an excellent college QB. Had an amazing run at the end of the game of 56 which was awesome. POSITIVE.

Dan Connor 40 6' 3.0" 220 4.70 LB 2008 We have all seen him play and continue to just be consistent. I would really like to see him work on his pass rush a little bit, as well as dropping into coverage. Rarely misses a tackle or makes a bad play. POSITIVE
Anthony Morelli 14 6' 3.3" 221 4.90 QB 2008 Just continues to make more bad decisions. The one thing I do like about him is his ability to avoid the sack. There were a number of plays where he bought time and made a completion. His arm strength is impressive, but just does not have the head to play quarterback. NEUTRAL
Justin King 1 6' 0.0" 186 4.41 CB 2009 Tussled with Hardy all day long and in my opinion, lost. Hardy put up 10+ catches on him and grabbed 2 TDs as well. Stuck with him stride for stride, but overall isn’t the shutdown corner as advertised. I’ve always thought he was a tad overrated, but he did have 9 tackles. NEGATIVE.
Austin Scott 33 6' 0.0" 222 4.70 HB 2008 Has been kicked off the team for sexual abuse charges. Most likely will not play any level of football again.
Pat Devlin 0' 0.0" 0 0.00 QB 2010 Backup QB did not see action. INC.
Chris Bell 0' 0.0" 0 0.00 WR 2010 Usually just in and out of the lineup, only had 1 catch. Is having a hard time breaking the starting lineup.
