FWIW, sounds like Moss will be out for a couple weeks. Roberts to start. The good news is he avoided a more serious season ending injury. Will see if Kirk offers up specifics at 1:45 today.

As far as the players, they said today that they have total faith in Terry Roberts. As Phil Parker said a couple of weeks ago, they view him as a starter. Lot of talk about the Purdue passing game and its always challenging. Brohm throws more deep balls than any team in the conference. He likes to stretch the field.

Talked to Keagan Johnson about the Ragaini TD play. He was the bait on that play with the skinny post he ran and he said he had to run that really hard so they thought the ball might be coming to him to hook the Penn State secondary. He was very happy for Nico.

No sense from any of the players that they are having any sort of hangover from the win on Saturday. Kirk started off the meetings this week basically saying time to move on to this week. Guys have followed. Practice apparently has been good and focused.

Petras talked about the Purdue game last year, which was his first career start. He said he still had a bad taste from that one and it's going to provide motivation this week.

Talked to Shudak today for a little bit. They love Tory Taylor. Said he has a great personality. He was asked about the change at long snapper that happened a few weeks ago. He said Austin Spiewak handled it like a pro. He was disappointed, but has done everything he can to help Luke Elkin get up to speed.

Kyler Schott thinks Linderbaum for Heisman should be a thing. I asked him about how quickly Linderbaum got to the end zone on the Ragaini catch and he had no idea how he got there so quickly. He was he was busting his tail to get down there and was still like 30 yards behind Linderbaum.

That's it for the quick notes. Kirk coming up at 1:45 today.
