Penn State Football Morning News: Sanders a change of pace, predicting start times

The Penn State football news links continue to roll on through the offseason. 

We are now halfway through the month of May, which means the start of the Penn State football season is a little more than three months away. Until the actual season begins, we are left with reading the latest news links to stay on top of all things Penn State.

It’s no secret that the Nittany Lions head into the 2017 season with one of the best running backs around in Saquon Barkley. However, backup Miles Sanders, the top back in the 2016 recruiting class, makes for an excellent change of pace to Barkley. Sanders could see an expanded role in his second season with the Nittany Lions.

In other news, Lions247 takes a look at the Week 1 opponent, and the Penn State – Ohio State matchup appeared headed for a broadcast on FOX, instead of the traditional ABC/ESPN telecast.

There are several other news links to peruse, but be sure to check out the interesting piece from PennLive predicting that start times of every game this season.
