Penn State tweets of the day

Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports reported Thursday afternoon that “Donald Trump’s team is making plans for the former president to attend the Ohio State-Penn State game on Nov. 2 in State College.” Now, we know more about how that possibility came to be.

PSU released a statement on the news, as first reported by Ben Jones, on Thursday night. And, if the trip does come to fruition, it’s safe to say that you will need to leave earlier than whatever time you thought was good to start traveling to Beaver Stadium for the potential top-five matchup. It starts at Noon ET.

“The University has been notified that a private citizen has invited former President Donald Trump to attend the Ohio State-Penn State football game as a guest in their suite,” the statement says. The trip would come three days before Election Day and a week after his rally at the Bryce Jordan Center this Saturday.

“The U.S. Secret Service is working with University Police and Public Safety and other state and local law enforcement on safety and security measures that are put into place around the presence of presidential candidates. With that in mind, we encourage fans, anyone visiting campus, and all those attending the game to arrive early to the game or to their intended destinations.”

Quote of the day

“It’s just more game reps. With more game reps, he’s starting to see things a little bit faster. The game slows down for you. He’s able to make plays that in the beginning of the season you didn’t see him making.

“I just think it’s the game reps. It’s the practice reps. It’s him seeing it and also the film study. It’s all clicking in his brain. He’s done a good job. The biggest thing people want to talk about a lot is the running game. He does a great job here. He has a lot of tackles for losses. That ain’t just coming from him (verb missing). It’s coming from him striking guys and getting off them. I think he’s doing a good job in that part.”
